This section covers the strategies for managing the dermatologic infectious diseases and how they present in emergency and acute settings. In order to keep the staff and patients safe, emergency physicians should be able to limit the nosocomial infection spread.
Background: Androgenic alopecia (AGA) is a common hair loss disorder seen in both males and females and continues by presenting thinning and miniaturization because of androgens, genetics, extracellular matrix (ECM) protein destruction, and micro-inflammation. The most common treatments for AGA used in males are minoxidil and finasteride. These drugs have an effective role in the recovery and retardation of hair loss; however, there are different side effects and limitations to their efficacy. Materials and Methods: In this research, we compared the effectiveness of the Trust tonic’s active complex, Capixyl, Procapil, and rosemary extract (CPR), and 2% minoxidil solution in reducing hair loss and stimulating hair growth. The study was conducted on two groups of male subjects with an average of 45 years for twenty-four weeks using 1 ml of each solution everyday in the morning and evening.
Early detection of erythroderma is essential in clinical practice since the related systemic implications might be fatal. it is characterized by widespread redness with a highly variable degree of scaling. Most of cases have an underlying skin problem or a systemic disorder that is known to be related to erythroderma. idiopathic erythroderma occurs in about 30% of cases. Generalized pustular psoriasis is a rare and life-threatening variant of psoriasis manifests with successive crops of pustules on a background of red and tender skin that covers most of the body. Erythroderma and generalized pustular psoriasis are typically managed with hospitalization, supportive measures, and specialist care.

This section reviews the triad of life-threatening drug reactions including Stevens-Johnson/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN), drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
