research Nevus Sebaceous: Histopathological Examination
The histopathological examination of nevus sebaceous (NS) reveals distinct features such as focal epidermal acanthosis, papillomatosis, and a significant reduction in hair follicle density, with remaining follicles being rudimentary and some filled with keratin. The dermis contains numerous mature sebaceous glands, often lacking visible ducts, and scarce apocrine glands located beneath the sebaceous units. A basaloid arrangement of follicular germinative cells indicates adnexal epithelial proliferation. These characteristics—sebaceous hyperplasia, immature follicular units, and basaloid adnexal elements—are indicative of NS and help differentiate it from other conditions like sebaceous hyperplasia, basal cell carcinoma, trichoblastoma, syringocystadenoma papilliferum, follicular hamartoma, and epidermal nevus. The integration of epidermal, sebaceous, follicular, and apocrine alterations is crucial for a definitive diagnosis of NS.

Minoxidil can be effectively delivered through nanoemulsions containing eucalyptol or oleic acid, enhancing its diffusivity and targeting hair follicles. This contradicts the advice against mixing minoxidil with oils in topical formulations.
community New hack? Tretinoin enhances minoxidil response in androgenetic alopecia patients by upregulating follicular sulfotransferase enzymes
The conversation discusses how Tretinoin may improve the effectiveness of Minoxidil for treating hair loss by increasing the activity of certain enzymes in hair follicles. One user comments that this information is not new.
community The Korean began to suspect something. But they understood the mechanism to some extent. ( Cold shock therapy promotes hair growth in association with upregulation of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein and vascular endothelial growth factor)
Cold shock therapy may promote hair growth by stimulating follicular muscles and affecting stem cells. The exact mechanisms and full range of elements involved are not yet fully understood.
community Progress with 6 Years fin and a FUT (2017 vs 2023)
The post discusses a user's six-year progress with finasteride and a Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) for hair loss. The user shared before and after photos in reverse order, leading to confusion, but overall, the community responded positively to the user's hair regrowth.
community How is verteporfin doing in trials?
The conversation is about the progress of verteporfin in hair loss trials, with users expressing curiosity about its effectiveness and updates. Specific treatments mentioned include FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) combined with verteporfin, with one reported case of donor area regrowth after a year, and three patients being monitored post-treatment by Dr. Bloxham with monthly updates on YouTube.
