5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Can a folate deficiency make androgenetic alopecia worse?
The user is treating androgenetic alopecia with finasteride and discovered a folic acid deficiency. They are asking if curing the deficiency can worsen or improve their hair condition.
community PP405 Won’t Work: Follicle Is Miniaturized, Fibrosed, And Missing Key Support Cells
PP405 is ineffective for miniaturized, fibrosed hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. AMP303 may activate hair follicle stem cells, but minoxidil and finasteride are still the main treatments.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community mbp alopecia areata or vitamin deficiency
A 19-year-old male has been using topical finasteride and minoxidil for 8 months with no progress and is considering seeking a second opinion due to potential misdiagnosis. The discussion revolves around whether the hair loss is due to male pattern baldness, alopecia areata, or a vitamin deficiency.
community DUPA / APHK discussion ( Diffuse unpatterned alopecia / Acquired Progressive Hair Kinkering )
The user discusses their experience with diffuse unpatterned alopecia and acquired progressive hair kinkering, noting improvements with treatments including biotin, pantothenic acid, finasteride, ketoconazole, and zinc pyrithione shampoo. They report thicker, healthier hair and improved scalp condition, attributing success mainly to biotin, pantothenic acid, and finasteride.
