research Melanotic pigmentation in excisional scar of melanoma patient who received BRAF and MEK inhibitors
Patients with melanoma who saw dermatologists and were from higher-income areas were more likely to have follow-up visits, which was linked to lower mortality.
research 422 Human hair follicles express PD-L1, whose expression is down-regulated by EGFR and MEK inhibitors ex vivo. A potential mechanism for EGFR inhibitor induced sterile folliculitis
EGFR and MEK inhibitors reduce PD-L1 in hair follicles, possibly causing inflammation.
research 696 MEK and BRAF inhibitors augment the production and accumulation of sebum in hamster sebocytes
MEK and BRAF inhibitors increase sebum production and accumulation, which could cause acne-like side effects.
research 861 EGFR/MEK inhibitor therapy induces partial hair follicle immune privilege collapse in vivo and ex vivo
research IL-36γ drives skin toxicity induced by EGFR/MEK inhibition and commensal Cutibacterium acnes

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Reql minoxidil vs fake minoxidil (right)
Counterfeit minoxidil is a concern, with users suggesting buying from reputable sources like Costco to ensure authenticity. A bleach test can help verify genuine minoxidil.
community Mystery compound found to be safe and effective at treating hair loss. Details in comments.
A compound called MTP3 from the Monoterpene family was found to be safe and highly effective at treating hair loss by inhibiting the FGF5 gene, but its identity is undisclosed for commercial reasons. No specific treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, or RU58841 were discussed.
community Painkillers May Block Minoxidil
Painkillers like Aspirin may reduce Minoxidil's effectiveness by inhibiting the enzyme PGHS-1, which is crucial for hair growth. Using NSAIDs that inhibit COX-2 or combining Minoxidil with PGF2/E2 analogues or retinoids may enhance its efficacy.
community HMI-115 question about potential earliest access
Hair loss treatments discussed include Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841. HMI-115, a monoclonal antibody drug, is in phase 1 and 2 trials for different conditions, but its availability on the gray market is unlikely due to high production costs.
community Minoxidil is a 5ar inhibitor according to research
Minoxidil may inhibit androgen receptors and affect hormonal pathways, potentially explaining its effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Users discuss its varying effectiveness on scalp versus facial hair and note fewer side effects with topical use compared to oral.
