    TLDR Stopping the depression medication improved the woman's eyebrow hair loss, and a treatment for a skin condition caused by mites was effective.
    The document reported a case where a 36-year-old woman developed alopecia areata-like lesions on her scalp and eyebrows after taking imipramine hydrochloride for depression. The hair loss on her eyebrows improved after stopping the medication. Additionally, the document discussed rosacea-like demodicidosis, a condition caused by Demodex folliculorum infestation, and differentiated it from common rosacea, outlining a specific treatment regimen. Furthermore, a preliminary trial for cutaneous leishmaniasis treatment using 2% ketoconazole ointment and DMSO was mentioned, with an 89% cure rate within one month. Lastly, the document touched on drug-induced lichen planus, indicating that some drugs can lead to lichenoid eruptions.
