🚨 The text is moderately relevant as it discusses a condition related to hair removal and its effects on the scalp, which can be linked to scalp health and wound healing, but it does not directly address hair loss or alopecia.
TLDR Laser hair removal can cause severe skin irritation, but it can improve with treatment.
A 33-year-old healthy Thai male developed severe folliculitis one day after diode laser hair removal treatment, which used a combination of three wavelengths (755 nm, 810 nm, and 1,064 nm). The condition improved significantly with a short course of prednisolone and topical benzoyl peroxide. At the 4-week follow-up, the lesions had nearly resolved, with only a few erythematous papules and hyperpigmented follicular macules remaining and no scarring. Further studies are needed to understand the mechanism of folliculitis post-laser hair removal for better prevention and management.
