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.

Non-steroidal ways to reduce scalp inflammation include using topical melatonin, urea shampoo, Zyrtec, turmeric with black pepper, omega-3 supplements, a self-made topical solution with cetirizine, melatonin, and piroctone olamine, ketoconazole shampoo, witch hazel shampoo, tacrolimus, and lifestyle changes like a healthy diet and regular exercise. Some users also mentioned unconventional methods like infrared light therapy and a carnivore diet.

A user did not respond to finasteride, dutasteride, and oral minoxidil for hair loss after four years of treatment and is considering scalp micropigmentation (SMP). Other users suggest the hair loss pattern may indicate alopecia areata and recommend seeing a dermatologist.
community How is it possible for someone to be a non responder to ORAL minoxidil?
Some individuals do not respond to oral minoxidil for hair loss, despite it generally working by improving blood flow to hair follicles. Factors like metabolism, drug interactions, and individual variations in the drug's activation may influence its effectiveness.
community Ultrasound can show you if your hair will ever grow back
