    TLDR Hyaluronic acid successfully treated skin atrophy caused by corticosteroid injections.
    The document described a case of alopecia localized to the frontal and temporal hairline, characterized by atrophic and shiny skin, follicular keratinization, and perifollicular erythema. The treatment included oral dutasteride (0.5 mg daily) and 5% minoxidil lotion, along with intralesional corticosteroid injections (triamcinolone acetonide diluted in lidocaine). Following the injections, the patient developed cutaneous atrophy at the injection sites. This atrophy was successfully treated with a single session of hyaluronic acid (Belotero Soft®) using a subcutaneous micro depot technique, resulting in excellent outcomes.

      The user noticed small circular hairless spots after a buzz cut and has been using finasteride, dutasteride, and oral minoxidil for hair loss. They are experiencing continuous shedding and thinning, and it is suggested they consult a dermatologist for a scalp examination and possible biopsy to determine if it's alopecia areata or androgenetic alopecia.
