Smoking and drinking are linked to psoriasis in men, a cream helps with a type of skin cancer, and low iron levels don't directly cause chronic hair loss in women.
July 2003 in “Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery” High blood pressure drugs often cause skin lupus, stopping the drug usually helps. A vaccine helps prevent genital herpes and HPV-16. More frequent light therapy clears psoriasis faster. No link was found between low iron and chronic hair loss.
July 2003 in “Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery” Treating psoriasis with UVB light three times a week is faster than twice a week, and certain medications and lifestyle factors affect psoriasis treatment outcomes.

July 2003 in “Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery” Blood pressure drugs can cause skin lupus, but it improves after stopping the drug. The glycoprotein D vaccine works against genital herpes in some women, and the HPV-16 vaccine reduces HPV-16 infection and related diseases. More frequent light therapy clears psoriasis faster. A cream called imiquimod effectively treats a type of skin cancer. Iron supplements don't necessarily help with chronic hair loss in women.
July 2003 in “Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery” Some medications can improve skin conditions, while lifestyle factors like smoking and drinking may worsen them; treatments like monoclonal antibodies and imiquimod cream show promise for certain skin diseases.
