GlossarySkin Injury

damage to the skin's surface causing a break in integrity

A skin injury, also known as a skin wound, cut, laceration, abrasion, or dermal injury, refers to any damage that breaks the integrity of the skin. This can range from minor scrapes and cuts to more severe lacerations and punctures. Skin injuries can result from various causes, including trauma, surgery, or accidents, and they often require proper cleaning and care to prevent infection and promote healing.

Baldness is difficult to cure because current treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil only prevent hair shedding, and new developments are mostly ineffective. Botox shows potential in aiding skin regeneration and hair growth, but maintenance therapy with treatments like dutasteride and minoxidil may still be necessary.

Stress can lead to hair loss by affecting hair-follicle stem cells, and this loss is harder to recover from if one has male pattern baldness (MPB). Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to address hair loss, but stress-related hair loss differs from androgenic alopecia.
