In the present study, sebum and microbiome changes were observed on the scalp in the Androgenetic Alopecia group. These changes may increase inflammation, leading to Androgenetic Alopecia progression. There was no difference in the amount of scalp sebum produced by individuals in the two groups [44]. However, the hair volume was lower in patients with Androgenetic Alopecia; thus, sebum does not adhere to the hair and remains on the scalps of Androgenetic Alopecia patients. Therefore, Androgenetic Alopecia patients have more sebum on their scalp,
Scalp Microbiome and Sebum Composition in Japanese Male Individuals with and without Androgenetic Alopecia - PMC
The skin microbiome and sebum may be associated with inflammation-related diseases of the scalp. To assess the pathogenesis and progression of androgenetic alopecia (Androgenetic Alopecia), we analyzed the composition of sebum and the bacterial and fungal microbiomes ...
