Abstract

Abstract Female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is the most common hair loss in post-puberty female. Prevalence of this nonscarring alopecia increases with age. The etiology of FPHL is still unclear, but hormonal and genetic factors are associated with pathogenesis of FPHL. Hormonal factor in FPHL is not as strong as in male pattern hair loss (MPHL). Clinical manifestations of FPHL are characterized by nonscarring baldness with shortening anagen phases and miniaturization of hair follicles, predominantly occur at the vertex, middle, and frontal regions. Hair shedding occurs progressively. The diagnosis of FPHL is established based on clinically. Classification of FPHL is according to Ludwig's criteria. Current FDA-approved FPHL therapy is topical minoxidil 2%, hair transplantation, and low level laser therapy (LLLT). Anti-androgen therapy still needs to be investigated further. The prognosis of FPHL is poor because the progressiveness continues with age. Long term treatment required for FPHL because it is a chronic residif disease. The treatment only prevents the progression of hair loss and does not cure.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction: Acne vulgaris (AV) is a chronic inflammatory of the pilosebaceous unit. Topical retinoid is a mainstay of mild AV first-line treatment. Aim of study: To assess the efficacy of topical retinoid for the treatment of mild AV. Method: The randomized double-blind clinical trial was conducted from June to September 2019 at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang. A total of 70 mild AV patients who fulfilled inclusion criteria were enroled consecutively. Patients randomly treated with adapalene 0.1% cream or tretinoin 0.025% cream and evaluated every 2 weeks for 8 weeks to examine the number of AV lesion (inflammation, non-inflammation and total lesion). Result: There are reduction in number of inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions at both groups but only inflammatory lesion was statistically significant (p <0.05). Total lesions also decrease in adapalene and retinoin group (21.66 vs 5.75, 22.21 vs 7.96, respectively) and statistically significant (p <0.05). Conclusion: Adapalen 0.1% cream showed non-inferiority to tretinoin 0.025% cream in efficacy, especially in the reduction of non-inflammatory and total lesions.
