Tretinoin can irritate seborrheic dermatitis, but using it with a moisturizer on calm skin may help. Parallel Health's skinmicrobiome testing and phage therapy are suggested for persistent issues.
Mallia Aesthetics has developed MAL-838, a hormone-free product derived from sCD83, which stimulates hair growth without disrupting the skinmicrobiome. sCD83 promotes hair growth by activating hair follicles and preventing cell death, offering a localized treatment without systemic side effects.
Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.
