Did you mean Abnormal Hair Follicles?

GlossaryAbnormal Hair Follicles

hair follicles deviating from normal structure or function

Abnormal hair follicles refer to hair follicles that deviate from their typical structure or function, often leading to issues like hair thinning, hair loss, or unusual hair growth patterns. These abnormalities can be caused by genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune conditions, or external factors such as trauma or certain medications. For professionals, understanding the underlying cause of these abnormalities is crucial for diagnosing and treating hair-related disorders effectively.

community DUPA, Non Responders and Connective Tissue Disorders

in Research/Science 9 upvotes 1 year ago

A 27-year-old male with diffuse hair loss, including the donor area, did not respond to finasteride, dutasteride, or minoxidil. He suspects his hair loss may be linked to a mild connective tissue disorder, possibly affecting the structural support of hair follicles, rather than being purely hormonal.

community The no BS guide to saving your hair without finasteride (improvement in 90% of patients in the study) with a low side effect profile or improvement in 100% of patients but a higher side effect profile and increased dosage. The future is here?

in Minoxidil 92 upvotes 5 years ago

Hair loss treatments, specifically the use of oral minoxidil in combination with micro-needling. Oral minoxidil has been found to improve hair density in 90% of patients with a low side effect profile, but using 5mg per day can result in higher side effects including hypertrichosis and edema. Other treatments mentioned include finasteride and RU58841.

community It's crazy how it's 2018 and the only hair loss treatments we have feature undesirable side effects and/or aren't even effective for many people.

132 upvotes 7 years ago

Hair loss treatments, including minoxidil, dermarolling, finasteride, dutasteride, hair transplants, hair systems, and shaving the head. The conversation covers various opinions on these treatments and mentions possible side effects as well as alternatives like wigs, vitamins, and lifestyle changes. The post expresses disappointment that there has been no major breakthrough in the field of hair loss treatments despite decades of research.

in Treatment 6 upvotes 1 year ago

The user experienced hair loss despite using Fin and Min for 12 years and switched to Dutasteride, RU58841, and Keto scalp serum, but shedding and itch persist. They are considering increasing Dutasteride to 2.5mg and questioning the necessity of a scalp biopsy, with mixed opinions on its usefulness.
