    TLDR Triamcinolone acetonide therapy for hair loss may cause a skin condition called linear lichen planus.
    The document described a case where linear lichen planus, a skin condition, developed along the lines of Blaschko in a patient undergoing intramuscular triamcinolone acetonide therapy for alopecia areata multiplex. This suggests a potential side effect of the treatment, highlighting the need for awareness and monitoring of skin reactions in patients receiving this therapy.
