    TLDR A 21-day-old baby had a skin rash that didn't improve with cream and wasn't caused by a fungus.
    A 21-day-old healthy black male presented with erythematous annular, scaly plaques with pustules on his upper cheeks, forehead, and anterior scalp. Despite the application of a topical corticosteroid cream, there was no improvement. Physical examination showed the patient was alert and active, with no alopecia or palpable lymph nodes. Potassium hydroxide skin preparation was negative for fungal elements, and a fungal culture and serum laboratory tests were conducted. The case highlights the need for thorough evaluation in neonatal dermatological conditions.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      Hair loss treatments discussed include minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. Salon products and supplements generally don't work for hair regrowth unless there's a severe nutritional deficiency, while hormonal treatments like estrogen and spironolactone can be effective.
