research Occipital Fibrosing Alopecia in a Young Male: A Case Report
A young man with an unusual type of scarring hair loss suggests a possible new variant of a known scalp condition.
research Occipital alopecia in a young man
A young Caucasian man experienced a rare type of hair loss on the back of his head.
research Two Cases of Linear Alopecia on the Occipital Scalp
Two rare bald spots on the back of the scalp were found to be lupus, not alopecia areata.
research Evidence of increased DNA methylation of the androgen receptor gene in occipital hair follicles from men with androgenetic alopecia
Men with hair loss have more DNA changes in back-of-head hair follicles, possibly protecting them from thinning.
research Histopathological Evidence of Occipital Involvement in Male Androgenetic Alopecia
Advanced male pattern baldness affects the back of the scalp, reducing hair follicles.

5 / 60 resultscommunity Occipitalis Muscle Tension Theory
Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.
community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.
community COMPLETE OVERVIEW of the Treatment of androgenetic alopecia in men
Male androgenetic alopecia is commonly treated with topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, both requiring continuous use. Other options include hair restoration surgery, dutasteride, light therapy, and camouflaging agents.
community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
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.
