research Occipital involvement in female pattern hair loss: histopathological evidences
Occipital scalp affects female hair loss; terminal/vellus ratio helps diagnose androgenetic alopecia.
research Histopathological Evidence of Occipital Involvement in Male Androgenetic Alopecia
Advanced male pattern baldness affects the back of the scalp, reducing hair follicles.
research Clinicopathologic and trichoscopic features of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans: A case series study
The study concluded that key signs of Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans are changes in terminal hair and vellus hair follicles, which likely start the inflammation and damage to hair follicles.
research Determination of the sildenafil effect on alopecia areata in childhood: An open‐pilot comparison study
Topical 1% sildenafil is not recommended for treating alopecia areata in children.
research Clinical, trichoscopic, and histopathologic characteristics of patients with alopecia and hypothyroidism: An observational study

5 / 719 resultscommunity Efficacy and Tolerability of N-Acetyl-Cysteine for Treatment of The Early-onset Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) was found to improve hair parameters in men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia, showing increased terminal hair count and decreased vellus hair count, with good tolerability. NAC, used alone or with minoxidil, may help due to its antioxidant properties, though its effectiveness can vary among individuals.
community Don’t Get Too Hyped About PP405. We've Seen This Movie Before.
PP405 is a new hair loss treatment showing early promise with a 20% hair density increase, but skepticism exists due to past failures of similar treatments like Pyrilutamide, RU58841, and Bimatoprost. Users debate its potential effectiveness, with some hopeful due to Google's involvement, while others urge caution without more evidence.
community Dht kills hair, but no one says why?
DHT affects hair follicles, contributing to hair loss, but the exact mechanism is unclear. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss, though they may have side effects and varying effectiveness.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Finally, some real breakthroughs. A comparison of the two leading baldness treatments: PP405 versus ABS-201
PP405 and ABS-201 are promising treatments for male pattern baldness. PP405 shows rapid hair growth in human trials, while ABS-201 shows significant regrowth in animal studies but is still in early human trials.
