Dear Prof. Rudnicka, thank you so much for your videos! I have a question: I got diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia in the Ludwig pattern, as a male. In 5 pictures of the scalp my derm. took, there was also the presence of 2 yellow dots were there was no hair at all, which she pointed out as strange. Are you familiar with these "symptoms"?
Yes, few (1-3 in a field of view) yellow dots may be present in alndrogenetic alopecia. They mark empty hair follicles filled with sebum. This type of yellow dots often dissapears after swabbing with an alcohol pad. The presence of few yelloww dots does not change the diagnosis of AGA
Are pohl pinkus constrictions something you observe only close to the hair shaft or does it extend throughout the strand? I’d appreciate if you could offer me an insight Professor, thank you so much for your content and lessons
Hi doctor, is it possible to have exclamation mark hairs after pressure alopecia ? My story : I had a very long surgery, my head was in a donut and wasn’t moved for at least 3+ hours. The whole surgery was 8 hours. The next day I had a large goose egg on my parietal, then the hair in that area fell out 2.5 weeks later. The story points to pressure but I have exclamation mark hairs.
It is very likely that your diagnosis is accurate. One or two exclamation hair could be explained by pressure (mechanical pulling) of some hairs. Very unlikely that there is another disease that developed simultaneously in the same area
@@profLidiaRudnicka hi professor. Thank you so much for your reply. It was a couple of exclamation mark hairs, more than 5. The patch did not grow bigger and I haven’t gotten any more patches either. Do you feel it’s pressure or areata ?
@@profLidiaRudnicka i got it in march i think and then got 4 a couple months later, i really dont know if its alopecia i tried antibiotics because the doctor thought it was an infection , or something with my skin but that didn't work and i have eczema that might have something to so with it my eczema hasnt acted up in years tho
@@HasteHub Alopecia areata is often associated with (atopic) eczema. If you have alopecia areata (with 4 pathes), you should visit a dermatologist. Here is some info about the treatement of alopecia areata (ua-cam.com/video/t3PjPdjTTtU/v-deo.html), but it is about people above 18 years and rather for professionals. Anyway, nothing replaces a dermatologist. There is some chance for regrowth without treatment, but it is not very common.

Thanks a lot for your comment! Your feedback is important to me :-)
👏🙏🥰 thank you very much!
Thank you ! 🌷💕
Excellent... as always. If we understand it, we don't have to memorize. May I request Basic hair biology for physicians?
Yes, sure. It will take a while, because I have now more clinical projects in schedule, but thanks for the idea. I will do it with pleasure :-)

Theoretically it may be distally located, but usually the hair shaft breaks off earlier when there is a constriction

@@Love-flowers-47 In my opinion your description is closer to pressure alopecia.
@@profLidiaRudnicka thank you professor! I can stop worrying now 😊
Does exclamation point hairs mean it will grow back? Im only 13 and i have alopecia
There is no guaranty on the basis of only exclamation mark hairs. Do you want to share more information about your alopecia ?
