Hidradenitis suppurativa treatment should be tailored to the individual, with quitting smoking being important.
research Medical treatment of hirsutism
The conclusion is that the best initial treatment for hirsutism is usually oral contraceptives, with the addition of antiandrogens or insulin sensitizers if needed, and topical eflornithine or laser treatments as supplementary options.
research Neuronal plasticity of the “brain–skin connection”: stress-triggered up-regulation of neuropeptides in dorsal root ganglia and skin via nerve growth factor-dependent pathways
Stress increases certain chemicals in the skin and nerves, which might worsen skin conditions.
research Dermal exosomes containing miR-218-5p promote hair regeneration by regulating β-catenin signaling
Dermal exosomes with miR-218-5p boost hair growth by controlling β-catenin signaling.
research Systematic Review of Platelet-Rich Plasma Use in Androgenetic Alopecia Compared with Minoxidil®, Finasteride®, and Adult Stem Cell-Based Therapy

research Mechanical forces in skin disorders
Skin problems can be caused or worsened by physical forces and pressure on the skin.
research Treatment of chemotherapy-induced alopecia
Scalp cooling can prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss, and certain treatments can speed up hair regrowth, but more research is needed for better treatments.
research ‘Hirsutism’: A Psychological Analysis
Women with excess body hair feel psychological distress influenced by societal beauty standards, but distress isn't directly linked to the amount of hair.
research Keratin 79 identifies a novel population of migratory epithelial cells that initiates hair canal morphogenesis and regeneration
Keratin 79 marks a new group of cells that are key for creating and repairing the hair follicle's structure.
research Topical Application of a Protein Kinase C Inhibitor Reduces Skin and Hair Pigmentation
Applying a specific inhibitor lightens skin and hair color.
research Exosomes derived from human dermal papilla cells promote hair growth in cultured human hair follicles and augment the hair‐inductive capacity of cultured dermal papilla spheres
Exosomes from human skin cells can stimulate hair growth and could potentially be used for treating hair loss.
research Choreographing Immunity in the Skin Epithelial Barrier
The document concludes that the skin's immune system is complex, involving interactions with hair follicles, nerves, and microbes, and can protect or cause disease, offering targets for new treatments.
research Prevascularization of dermal substitutes with adipose tissue-derived microvascular fragments enhances early skin grafting
Using adipose tissue-derived fragments improves early skin graft success.
research Cyclosporin A-induced hair growth in mice is associated with inhibition of calcineurin-dependent activation of NFAT in follicular keratinocytes
Cyclosporin A helps mice grow hair by blocking a specific protein activity in skin cells.
