I've been digging through articles tonight, looking for any signs of hope in the literature for alopecia treatments. It's a total shit show.
Most PhD students have to write a lit review when they start out on their thesis, so these things end up filling a fair number of pages in journals. Which is useful, unless they are badly written and published in a dodgy journal.
Sometimes you can tell from the first few paragraphs that an author is not across the topic. Sometimes you end up digging down to the cited papers and then you realise just how shakey even the most boastful of claims really are. But, sometimes you see the measured hand of an experienced researcher who refuses to be sullied by the poor quality data on offer.
There is a lot of very poor science being published in this field. We know an awful lot about the problem, and very little about the solution.

My wife has alopecia and it's really stressful for her, living with a condition that changes your appearance. None of us would enjoy this.
But even worse are the pseudo medical interventions that are pushed to women in this predicament. Some doctors have worked out how to cash in on patients who are desperate for any hope of a cure, even when they know full well that only a fraction of their patients see even the slightest improvement... and even that is temporary.
I was suspicious about some of the "medical" treatments being offered to her, and as a former medical research scientist I still know how to dig out journal papers to study up on results from clinical trials.
What I'm seeing is a lot of horse shit being sold as treatments. 10% response rate in male patients is enough to label a treatment as a success. Never mind if even that rate drops dramatically for women.
I'm guessing the lack of oversight for such clinics is because these treatments are "cosmetic"? It makes my blood boil. These patients really want to believe there is a solution, at almost any price.

Sur un tout autre sujet, je suis tombé sur cette revue narrative sur l'alopécie androgénétique chez les personnes trans[1], qui est pas mal.
Les infos dedans sont tout à fait classiques, mais elle a l'avantage de présenter des recommandations claires et plutôt bonnes.
Point intéressant, elle met pas mal en avant l'utilisation du minoxidil *oral, quelque chose qu'on utilise très peu en France (à ma connaissance) mais qui je pense gagnerait à être développé.
Rapidement, le minoxidil c'est un médicament anti-hypertenseur, non-hormonal, qui a aussi une action sur la perte de cheveux ; on l'utilise souvent en spray/mousse localement dans l'AGA, et parfois aussi sur le visage pour stimuler la pilosité faciale. Ça peut aussi se prendre par voie orale, à faible dose, pour le traitement de l'AGA mais aussi pour développer la pilosité faciale et corporelle. Et on a maintenant des données de sécurité rassurantes sur cet emploi donc ça pourrait/devrait peut-être se développer !Et si des personnes trans passent par là et savent pas par où commencer pour gérer leur perte de cheveux, j'ai écrit un petit article introductif sur le sujet ici : https://hackmd.io/@biyokea/aga_restauration_capillaire

Understanding The Connection Between Hair Loss And Mental Health.: (image: Tamara Bellis) For many of us, our hair is a part of our identity, a form of self-expression, and a source of confidence. So, when hair loss strikes, it can feel like a punch to the gut, leaving us feeling vulnerable, insecure, and even depressed. But while hair loss presents real challenges, there are … Continue reading Understanding The Connection Between… https://beurownlight.com/2025/01/15/understanding-the-connection-between-hair-loss-and-mental-health/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Alopecia #Anxiety #AnxietyDisorder

Another Jewish women-owned business, providing stylish scarves and hats and jewelry, if you want a snazzy new look for the holidays.
"...In December 2012, Wrapunzel was born. It was a wintery night during Andrea Herzog’s family reunion, and the relatives were brainstorming about what to do with the funky hair wrapping videos she had online. Her writing and tutorials had gained massive popularity over the past year on her personal blog, and it was obvious that the world needed a community devoted solely to the art of hair wrapping. After much thought, the idea of a website featuring head wrapping women from all over the world was agreed upon. “Wrapunzel ~ Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Hair Wrapping” began that night, and the rest is history!"

Just heard from the offspring, who has had a very stressful year and also has suspected she might have some mild autoimmune issue, she suddenly developed #alopecia areata this week in two spots on her head. She is distraught and having trouble finding a PCP after just moving. Anyone seen or had this before? #medicine

Dachshunds are ludicrous, even when of show quality training and lineage. Mine has neither. He likes to stage his own death on walks outside his operating temperature (between 20 and 21 degrees Celsius), and alopecia has denuded his underside. He eventually found the will to continue.

@cyrilpedia nice piece, and also informative. Had missed the black box warning on the whole JAK Stat family! Is the increased cardiovascular risk dose / time dependent, or is it idiosyncratic?
