5 / 191 resultsresearch Neuroendocrine Pathways in Skin Health and Homeostasis: A Systematic Review
This systematic review highlights the emerging role of the skin as a neuroendocrine organ and its communication with the nervous system, emphasizing the potential of neuropeptide- and neurotransmitter-based interventions in dermatology. Analyzing 68 studies, primarily preclinical with some randomized controlled trials, the review identifies melatonin, substance P modulation, and oxytocin as key neuroendocrine mediators with consistent evidence supporting their anti-inflammatory, reparative, and psychodermatologic benefits. These findings suggest that neurohormonal signaling could be a promising therapeutic target for both skin disease management and aesthetic applications.

Hair loss treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are discussed, with concerns about side effects such as depression and brain fog. Some users argue about the necessity and impact of DHT on libido and other bodily functions.
community Dutasteride vs Finasteride and Steroid
Dutasteride is preferred over finasteride for hair loss due to fewer side effects. Combining dutasteride with minoxidil and RU58841 is effective for hair regrowth, even during steroid use.
community I am a dermatologist with a clinical interest in alopecia. AMA
In this conversation, 4990 discussed various treatments for hair loss, including oral minoxidil, PRP, transplan, Jak inhibitors, Dutasteride, Finasteride, Olumiant, Ketoconazole, RU58841, microneedling, baricitinib, and CCCA. They recommended scalp biopsies in unclear cases of DUPA, twice weekly to twice daily shampooing for topical minoxidil users, and two sessions spaced one month apart with follow up at month three to determine the effectiveness of PRP treatment.
community For those who regrew their hair: how did it change your dating life?
Regrowing hair with finasteride and minoxidil can boost confidence and improve dating prospects. However, confidence and personality are considered more important than appearance in relationships.
community People who tolerate dut better than fin?
Dutasteride may have fewer side effects than finasteride, with some users experiencing better hair maintenance. Experiences vary, with some preferring dutasteride for fewer side effects, while others see no significant hair improvement.
