research Narrow-Band Ultraviolet B Phototherapy in Vitiligo
NB-UVB phototherapy is an effective and safe treatment for vitiligo, especially on hands and feet, and can be improved with tacrolimus.
research A single-center, prospective, open-label, pilot study of the safety, local tolerability, and efficacy of ultraviolet-C (UVC) phototherapy for the treatment of great toenail onychomycosis
Trichoscopy is a helpful and quick method to diagnose hair loss without shaving.
research Topical calcipotriol vs narrowband ultraviolet B in treatment of alopecia areata: a randomized-controlled trial
Both topical calcipotriol and narrowband UVB improved alopecia, but combining them didn't enhance the effect on hair loss severity, despite higher vitamin D3 levels.
research Retinoids and Phototherapy for Psoriasis
Retinoids and narrowband UVB phototherapy are effective for treating psoriasis and can reduce treatment time when used together.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Evolution theory: AGA is your body trying to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by exposing your scalp to more UV
Androgenic alopecia (AGA) might have evolved to reduce prostate cancer risk by increasing UV exposure to the scalp, but this theory is debated. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are used for AGA, though the exact causes and evolutionary reasons for hair loss are unclear.
community What About Phytosterol Alternatives - Rice Bran Oil - Natural DHT Blockers
The conversation discusses natural DHT blockers like rice bran oil, which may reduce 5α-reductase activity similarly to Minoxidil and Dutasteride. One user argues that finasteride is more reliable and effective than natural alternatives.
community The Health Benefits of Head Hair
Hair provides protection against head trauma, reduces skin cancer risk, helps remove heavy metals, and aids in wound healing. The conversation emphasizes the health benefits of maintaining head hair beyond cosmetic reasons.
community Tretinoin can make it worse!!!
Tretinoin may enhance minoxidil's effectiveness for those not responding to minoxidil alone, but it could reduce efficacy for some who are already responding to minoxidil. Tretinoin requires careful use, including skin moisturizing and sun protection due to increased sensitivity.
community Red light therapy that works well
Red light therapy with dual wavelengths (650nm and 850nm) can stimulate hair regrowth without DHT blockers. Consistent use of a panel with these wavelengths has shown positive results in hair regrowth.
