    TLDR Certain drugs can cause skin lupus, but stopping the drug usually helps. Vaccines work against smallpox, genital herpes, and a type of human papillomavirus. More frequent light therapy clears psoriasis faster. Certain treatments work for psoriasis and dermatitis. A specific cream effectively treats a type of skin cancer. Low iron levels aren't directly linked to chronic hair loss.
    In 2003, multiple studies were conducted on various medical conditions and treatments. A retrospective review of 120 patients over a 10-year period found that certain drugs were associated with the development of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE), with most patients improving after discontinuation of the offending drug. Other studies focused on conditions like steroid-induced hypersensitivity, arsenicosis, diabetic foot ulcers, neonatal herpes simplex virus infection, pediatric vasculitis, localized scleroderma, and varicella. Three studies evaluated the efficacy of vaccines against smallpox, genital herpes simplex virus, and human papillomavirus type 16. A study involving 113 patients with psoriasis found that NB-UVB phototherapy applied three times a week cleared psoriasis faster than twice-weekly application. Other studies investigated treatments for psoriasis and dermatitis, including the use of monoclonal antibodies, oral pimecrolimus, alefacept, and infliximab. Two studies established a safe and effective dosing regimen for the treatment of primary nodular basal cell carcinoma using 5% imiquimod cream. A study involving 194 females found no direct relationship between low serum ferritin and chronic diffuse telogen hair loss.

      Certain drugs can cause lupus, stopping these drugs is the main treatment. NB-UVB phototherapy clears psoriasis faster when applied three times a week. Monoclonal antibodies and oral pimecrolimus are effective in treating psoriasis. Smoking and drinking are linked to psoriasis in men. No direct link between low iron and hair loss was found. Vaccines are effective against genital herpes and human papillomavirus type 16.

      Various skin conditions like cutaneous lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, and basal cell carcinoma can be effectively treated with antihypertensive agents, NB-UVB phototherapy, and imiquimod cream respectively. Vaccines are effective against genital herpes and HPV-16 infection. Early intervention is crucial for conditions like diabetic foot ulcers and neonatal herpes. Certain dyes can cause hand dermatitis, and there's a link between smoking/drinking and psoriasis in men. No direct link was found between low iron levels and chronic hair loss in women.

      Blood pressure drugs can cause skin lupus, but it improves after stopping the drug. The glycoprotein D vaccine works against genital herpes in some women, and the HPV-16 vaccine reduces HPV-16 infection and related diseases. More frequent light therapy clears psoriasis faster. A cream called imiquimod effectively treats a type of skin cancer. Iron supplements don't necessarily help with chronic hair loss in women.
