    bacterial skin infection with pus-filled lesions

    Pyoderma is a bacterial skin infection characterized by the presence of pus-filled lesions. It can occur when bacteria, such as Staphylococcus or Streptococcus, invade the skin through cuts, abrasions, or other breaches in the skin barrier. This condition can range from superficial infections like impetigo to deeper, more severe infections like cellulitis.

      Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      in Research  692 upvotes 4 months ago
      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
