Anti-TNF-α therapy may increase the risk of developing alopecia areata, especially in those with a history of autoimmune disease.
research Epidermal growth factor receptor/mitogen-activated kinase inhibitor treatment induces a distinct inflammatory hair follicle response that includes collapse of immune privilege
EGFRi/MEKi treatments cause hair follicles to lose some immune protection, leading to inflammation.
research Impact of epidermal growth factor receptor and mitogen-activated kinase inhibition on hair follicles (HFs): partial HF immune privilege collapse and excessive interleukin-33 secretion
Inhibiting certain proteins harms hair follicle immunity and increases IL-33, affecting hair health.

5 / 397 resultscommunity Hair loss after COVID or vaccination isn’t “made up” but it’s also not what TikTok makes it sound like
COVID and COVID vaccination can trigger hair loss, primarily telogen effluvium, due to stress and immune system activation. Proper diagnosis and addressing factors like nutrition and stress are crucial for recovery.
community Why does MPB only affect the scalp
Male pattern baldness (MPB) may be influenced by androgen receptors in scalp hair follicles and potentially poor blood flow. Transplanted hair is not immune to DHT, and factors like inflammation and scalp tension might also contribute to hair loss.
community Calling out *diffuse thinners* here -- Have you ruled out other factors?
Diffuse hair loss is often linked to genetics but can also be due to health issues like thyroid problems and low vitamin or iron levels. Treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride, with some seeing improvements after addressing health issues.
community Is DHT actually the cause of male pattern hair loss or just a correlating factor? Why I think the research is more complicated than we're told and why I've been looking into GHK-Cu
DHT is not the only cause of male pattern hair loss; genetic sensitivity, inflammation, and fibrosis also contribute. GHK-Cu, a copper peptide, is being explored as an alternative treatment to finasteride and minoxidil, showing potential in improving follicle health.
community Ray Peat: Testosterone Isn’t the Culprit, Prolactin and Cortisol Drive Hair Loss (2016)
Prolactin and cortisol are identified as key factors in hair loss, with stress hormones impacting hair shedding. Finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments, while DHT's role and individual sensitivity are significant factors.
