Dermatologist’s 10 practical tips to manage hair loss

A dermatologist outlines ten evidence-based tips for balding, emphasizing that hair loss is usually multifactorial (nutrition, thyroid, menopause, stress) and that improving overall health helps. She endorses only FDA-approved treatments—topical minoxidil and oral finasteride—while warning against unproven regimens like injectable exosomes. Check for nutritional deficiencies (iron, vitamin D) and thyroid issues, optimize diet and weight, and be cautious with costly new therapies. Don’t expect quick fixes: assess progress over 3–6 months with standardized photos, as shedding can reveal underlying genetic balding.

The Balding-Skin Cancer Connection: Unveiling the Truth

Researchers from QIMR Berghofer have confirmed the link between balding and skin cancer through a comprehensive investigation. The study found that the increased risk of skin cancer in individuals with hair loss is primarily due to greater sun exposure, rather than testosterone levels. Genetic analysis also revealed an overlap between genes associated with hair loss and skin color, suggesting that pigmentation may contribute to the increased risk. The findings emphasize the importance of evidence-based prevention strategies for deadly skin cancers.
