research Pattern hair loss: Assessment of inflammation and fibrosis on histologic sections
Inflammation and fibrosis are not significantly different in pattern hair loss compared to controls.
research Angiosarcoma of the Scalp Mimicking an Inflammatory Scarring Alopecia and Diagnosed on Horizontal Histologic Sections

5 / 27 resultscommunity DHT Harms Scalp Microbiome: DHT Itch is REAL
Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
community The theory that explains everything. The malloclusion theory has been proven.
Brian Dye's theory links skeletal malocclusion type II to hair loss, suggesting it's a blood flow issue. Treatments mentioned include minoxidil, finasteride, and anti-inflammatory drugs like benaxoprofen.
community The MPB itch aka DHT itch is very real.
Hair loss itch is caused by DHT attacking follicles and stimulating nerves. Finasteride users who respond well don't experience this itch.
community Perifollicular Fibrosis and its role in androgenetic alopecia. Is Aminexil/Kopexil a must for anyone with AGA?
Aminexil/Kopexil may help reduce hair loss by addressing perifollicular fibrosis in androgenetic alopecia, but it lacks the extensive clinical backing of finasteride and minoxidil. Some users find it effective, but availability and cost are issues, especially in the US where it's not FDA-approved.
community Microneedling Isn’t Snake Oil — It’s Evidence-Based. Let’s Talk Studies, Not Fear.
Microneedling is supported by research as an effective adjuvant treatment for hair loss, especially when combined with Minoxidil or Finasteride, with minimal side effects if done properly. Concerns about long-term safety and potential risks like infection or fibrosis remain, but many users report positive results.
