The man's scalp tightness after hair surgery affects his life and work, and it's unclear if it's due to the surgery or a mental health issue.
research 564 Vertex and Occipital Intermediate and Terminal Hair Follicles from Androgenetic Alopecia Patients are Differentially Affected by Testosterone Ex Vivo
Occipital hair follicles in male pattern baldness respond uniquely to testosterone, not androgen-insensitive.
research Cutaneous Atrophy and Alopecia After Greater Occipital Nerve Injection Using Triamcinolone
Triamcinolone injections for headaches can cause skin thinning and hair loss.
research Prevalence and Factors Associated with Neonatal Occipital Alopecia: A Retrospective Study
The study concluded that neonatal occipital alopecia is common, not caused by physical friction, and usually resolves on its own without treatment.
research Extensive Scalp Lifting: Decrease in Complications Utilizing Unilateral Occipital Artery Ligation and Other Modifications
The conclusion is that modifying scalp lifting surgery by cutting one occipital artery and making other changes reduces complications and improves outcomes for patients with severe hair loss.
research Innovative modified hair follicle harvesting technique with reverse rake scalp elevator for lower occipital donor area in follicular unit extraction hair transplantation
The new hair follicle harvesting technique improves hair transplant results and makes the procedure quicker and easier to learn.
research Case Report: Paired vertex-occipital assessment reveals donor-area involvement in diffuse unpatterned alopecia
Diffuse unpatterned alopecia can affect donor areas, but treatment with finasteride and minoxidil can improve hair density.
research Incidence and risk factors for neonatal occipital alopecia: A retrospective study
Babies born after 38 weeks to mothers under 36 years old and not delivered by C-section have a higher risk of neonatal occipital alopecia.
research Limitations of human occipital scalp hair follicle organ culture for studying the effects of minoxidil as a hair growth enhancer
Scalp hair follicle culture has limits for testing minoxidil's hair growth effects.
research Aesthetic Sideburn Reconstruction With an Expanded Reversed Temporoparieto-occipital Scalp Flap
The method for sideburn reconstruction was safe and effective, giving natural-looking hair with minimal scarring.
