    TLDR A woman with skin eruptions and hair loss improved significantly with ointment treatment.
    A 29-year-old woman with amicrobial pustulosis (AP) presented with exudative eruptions and hair loss on the scalp, along with pustules and erythema on various body parts. Laboratory tests showed positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and rheumatoid factor (RF), but no other autoantibodies or symptoms of collagen diseases. Skin biopsies revealed neutrophilic infiltration and features similar to pustular psoriasis. Treatment with mometasone furoate ointment significantly reduced eruptions and induced complete hair regrowth within 2 weeks, with good control maintained over 6 years without scarring alopecia.

      Excess sebum rich in cholesterol and triglycerides can lead to hair loss through inflammation, with treatments like Ciclopirox shampoo, Benzoyl Peroxide shampoo, and Clindamycin gel recommended for managing conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and folliculitis. Pioglitazone is suggested for Lichen Planopilaris, while Omega-3s and reducing processed foods may improve sebum quality, though genetic factors play a significant role.

      Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.
