BACKGROUNDAndrogenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common type of alopecia in men, which is an androgen mediated event. The FDA approved treatment for male AGA are Finasteride and Minoxidil. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a newer method for the treatment of various types of alopecia by providing growth factors in stimulating dermal papilla associated stem cells. Minoxidil helps in new hair growth by causing vasodilatation of scalp blood vessels. Treatment with microneedling showed an accelerated response leading to significant increase in scalp density.
BACKGROUNDEpidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is a rare, lifelong, cutaneous, autosomal recessive genetic disorder of the immune system manifested by increased susceptibility to cutaneous Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection beginning in the early years of life. EV lesions are frequently described as pityriasis versicolor-like scaly macules, flat warts like papules or verrucous and seborrhoeic keratosis like papules and plaques. Here, we report a case of 14 years old boy who presented to us with multiple hyperkeratotic papules over face and upper extremities since 2 years. Hypopigmented macules over face, neck, upper chest and trunk since 4 months. Patient was treated topically with cryotherapy and systemically with acitretin and immunomodulators for warts and pityriasis versicolor was treated with topical and oral antifungals.
