research Eosinophils in fibrous tracts and near hair bulbs: A helpful diagnostic feature of alopecia areata
Finding eosinophils near hair bulbs helps diagnose alopecia areata.
research Eosinophils in fibrous tracts and near hair bulbs: A helpful diagnostic feature of alopecia areata
Eosinophils are not a reliable marker for diagnosing alopecia areata.
research Dermoscopy in hair disorders
Dermoscopy improves diagnosis of hair and scalp disorders and can help avoid unnecessary biopsies.
research A comparative study of histopathologic features in alopecia areata and pattern hair loss
The study found certain scalp biopsy features can help tell apart alopecia areata from pattern hair loss even when typical immune cells are not seen.
research A patient with diffuse hair loss
The patient's hair loss is most likely due to diffuse alopecia areata.

Dutasteride is discussed as a treatment that makes hair loss impossible, with some users sharing experiences of hair regrowth and side effects. Finasteride and oral minoxidil are also mentioned as treatments, with concerns about side effects and effectiveness.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community Duasteride and breast tissue accumulation.
The user is experiencing breast tissue growth from taking dutasteride and minoxidil, and is considering reducing the dosage or stopping the medication. Suggestions include seeing an endocrinologist, using Raloxifene or Arimidex, and considering topical treatments or surgery if necessary.
community "Hair Follicle Stem Cells are quiescent 99% of the time and permanently reside in the hair follicle"
Hair follicles are mostly dormant but can be reactivated with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling. A new drug, PP405, shows promise for hair regrowth but may not be available until 2027-2028.
community Sugar and Hair loss connections
High sugar diets may worsen hair loss by increasing 5α-reductase activity and androgen levels, especially in women with PCOS. A low sugar diet might reduce scalp DHT levels, similar to finasteride, but genetics also significantly influence hair loss.
