research Flutamide-Loaded Zein Nanocapsule Hydrogel, a Promising Dermal Delivery System for Pilosebaceous Unit Disorders
The flutamide-loaded hydrogel is a promising, skin-friendly treatment for acne and hair loss, potentially requiring less frequent application.
research Disorders of the pilosebaceous unit: hirsutism and androgenic alopecia
Excessive androgens in women with polycystic ovary syndrome can lead to excessive hair growth and hair loss, but this might not fully explain these conditions.
research Disorders of hair growth and the pilosebaceous unit: Facts and controversies
Experts don't fully agree on how to diagnose certain hair growth disorders and more research is needed to understand them better.
research Culture of the human pilosebaceous unit, hair follicle and sebaceous gland
The article concludes that developing in vitro models for human hair structures is important for research and reducing animal testing, but there are challenges like obtaining suitable samples and the models' limitations.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Reducing Fibrosis in Hair Loss: Topical Pirfenidone
Topical pirfenidone is highlighted as an effective anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic treatment for hair loss, particularly in addressing perifollicular fibrosis, which may enhance the effectiveness of standard treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. The user also uses calcipotriol, MCT oil, ciclopirox shampoo, and benzoyl peroxide shampoo as part of their regimen.
community Are we underestimating systemic absorption with homemade/generic Topical Fin? (HPCH vs. PG/Ethanol formulations)
Topical finasteride may have higher systemic absorption and lower efficacy when using a Propylene Glycol/Ethanol formulation compared to the hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCH) formulation. The safety profile of topical finasteride relies heavily on the HPCH formulation, and using standard solutions might lead to different pharmacokinetics.
community Why liposomal finasteride and minoxidil may be better than traditional topical solutions.
Liposomal formulations of finasteride and minoxidil may enhance drug delivery to the skin and hair follicles more effectively than traditional solutions, potentially improving treatment outcomes. However, more human clinical trials are needed to confirm these benefits.
community Phase II topical dut study - outperforms oral fin with a minor DHT reduction
Topical dutasteride 0.05% is more effective for hair growth than oral finasteride 1mg, with minimal DHT reduction. The formulation uses castor oil and MCTs for better absorption but is not widely available until 2028.
community Hair Loss & Lipids: Why you have sebderm, folliculitis, LPP, inflammation, etc...
Excess sebum rich in cholesterol and triglycerides can lead to hair loss through inflammation, with treatments like Ciclopirox shampoo, Benzoyl Peroxide shampoo, and Clindamycin gel recommended for managing conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and folliculitis. Pioglitazone is suggested for Lichen Planopilaris, while Omega-3s and reducing processed foods may improve sebum quality, though genetic factors play a significant role.
