research Dissecting cellulitis of the scalp after hair transplantation: A case report
Hair transplantation can lead to rare scalp complications, requiring careful follow-up and treatment.
research Lack of effect of topical finasteride suggests an endocrine role for dihydrotestosterone
Topical finasteride doesn't reduce DHT levels, hinting at an endocrine role in hair loss.
research Antibacterials/corticosteroids/minoxidil
research Mechanism of action of androgen in hair follicles
Testosterone affects hair follicles differently across body sites, with beard hair follicles showing more activity of a specific enzyme and presence of androgen receptors compared to scalp hair.
research Tinea Capitis Induced by Barber Shaving: Isolation of Trichophyton tonsurans
Unsanitary barber practices can spread scalp infections, treatable with oral antifungals.
research ANDROGEN METABOLISM AS IT AFFECTS HAIR GROWTH IN ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Androgens, like DHT, affect hair growth and treatments like finasteride may help.
research Increased scalp skin and serum 5 alpha-reductase reduced androgens in a man relevant to the acquired progressive kinky hair disorder and developing androgenetic alopecia
research Transcriptome Analysis Reveals an Inhibitory Effect of Dihydrotestosterone-Treated 2D- and 3D-Cultured Dermal Papilla Cells on Hair Follicle Growth
Dihydrotestosterone treatment on 2D and 3D-cultured skin cells slows down hair growth by affecting certain genes and could be a potential target for hair loss treatment.
research Traction Alopecia in the Beard
research Testosterone Metabolism in the Skin
Increased DHT formation in skin can cause hair loss, acne, and excessive hair growth, and antiandrogens might treat these conditions.
research Unusual dermoscopic features in a patient with alopecia areata
Alopecia areata can show unusual red-dotted vessels and dithranol treatment may mask typical patterns.
research The Frequency of Hair Follicle Diseases among Patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Many patients with hidradenitis suppurativa also have severe acne and pilonidal cysts, often linked to other health problems.
research Androgens and alopecia
Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: A Revolutionary Thermal Stress Model - DHT is Not the Culpritأ
Male pattern baldness is mainly caused by brain heat stress, not DHT.
research A mechanism for topical cutaneous calcinosis
Epilation and DHT cause skin calcification by increasing ATP and calcium deposits.
research BH07: Testosterone deficiency in men with female pattern hair loss
Low testosterone levels may contribute to female pattern hair loss in men.
research Effect of 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Testosterone on Apoptosis in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
High levels of testosterone and 5α-DHT can lead to cell death in cells important for hair growth.
research Dissecting cellulitis of the scalp in a paediatric male
A 13-year-old boy with a rare scalp condition improved significantly with isotretinoin, minoxidil, oral steroids, and antiseptic shampoo.
research [Finasteride: a new drug for the treatment of male hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia?].
Finasteride may help reduce male hair loss and excessive hair growth by lowering DHT levels.
research Inflammatory tinea capitis mimicking dissecting cellulitis in a postpubertal male: a case report and review of the literature
A young man was initially misdiagnosed with a scalp condition but was found to have a fungal infection, which improved with antifungal treatment.
research PATHOGENETICALLY SIGNIFICANT RISK FACTORS FOR DEVELOPMENT ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA.
Inflammation in hair follicles is a key risk factor for developing common baldness.
research Role of Androgen in Mesenchymal Epithelial Interactions in Human Hair Follicle
Androgens promote beard growth but cause hair loss in androgenetic alopecia, with TGF-β1 as a potential treatment target.
research Pseudofolliculitis barbae: Review and Update on New Treatment Modalities
New treatments are available for managing ingrown hair inflammation.
research Perifollicular Inflammation and Fibrosis in Androgenetic Alopecia: Implications for Diagnosis and Treatment - A Comparative Histopathologic and Clinical Study with Normal-Appearing Scalp
Early biopsy and targeting inflammation can improve treatment for hair loss in androgenetic alopecia.
research Androgens modulate keratinocyte differentiation indirectly through enhancing growth factor production from dermal fibroblasts
Male hormones indirectly affect skin cell development by increasing growth factor levels from skin fibroblasts.
research Inflammation in androgenetic alopecia and hair loss: linking neurosciences-endocrinology-dermatology
Hair loss in men may be caused by inflammation triggered by hormones, and treatments reducing inflammation could potentially promote hair growth.
research Trichothiodystrophy: an ultrastructural study of the hair follicle
Trichothiodystrophy causes abnormal protein deposits and distortion in hair follicles.
research Steroidogenic enzymes in skin.
Finasteride helps hair growth by reducing DHT levels.
research Tinea Capitis Mimicking Dissecting Cellulitis
