The study aimed to explore the relationship between menstrual cycle disorders, hormonal profiles, and dermatological manifestations in 120 women aged 18-35. Participants were divided into three groups based on clinical and hormonal characteristics. Group I included women with menstrual disorders and signs of hyperandrogenism, such as acne and hirsutism. Group II had menstrual disorders without hyperandrogenism but with other skin issues like alopecia. The control group had regular cycles and no skin pathology. Results showed that dermatological symptoms in women with menstrual disorders are influenced by both circulating androgen levels and tissue sensitivity, as indicated by androgen receptor expression. This highlights the need for personalized treatment strategies considering hormonal and receptor profiles. The study concludes that menstrual cycle disorders are closely linked to hormone-dependent skin conditions, and a multidisciplinary approach improves diagnosis and treatment effectiveness.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.
community Nizoral doesn't seem to be working. Rogaine not suggested by doctor due to cost and poor track record on females. Ideas?
A woman experiencing hair loss and facial hair growth suspects PCOS or androgenic alopecia and is considering treatments like Rogaine, but is concerned about the cost. She has tried various hair care methods and is awaiting a hormone doctor appointment, while others suggest she may have a hormonal imbalance and recommend seeing a gynecologist or trying cheaper versions of Rogaine.
community One year on finasteride has reversed some aging
Finasteride and minoxidil use resulted in a more youthful appearance and improved skin. There is debate about their effects on collagen and skin aging, with no solid evidence supporting significant changes due to finasteride.
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 Is this real chat? Finasteride -> fountain of youth and longevity drug?
