Male androgenetic alopecia (MAA) is quite common and worsens with age, with a significant impact on quality of life, and is increasingly a reason for consultation with a dermatologist. The etiopathogenesis of MAA is multifactorial and genetic and hormonal influences stand out. MAA starts with the process of follicular miniaturization in diverse phenotypic patterns. The diagnosis of MAA is basically clinical and currently corroborated by well-established trichoscopic findings. Despite this, therapeutic options are limited, especially when one considers medications with a high level of scientific evidence. This review aims to help the general dermatologist towards a better understanding of MAA providing a basis for good individualized and judicious therapeutic decisions.

Keloid is a common fibrotic disease, which is difficult to treat. It often causes itching and pain, which greatly disturbs patients in their work and daily life and causing difficulties in social interaction. Its pathogenesis is not clear, but may be related to several aspects: genetic susceptibility, environmental, immunological and endocrine factors, trauma and tension. The central point of its pathogenesis is the excessive proliferation of fibroblasts, with excessive synthesis and secretion of extracellular matrix such as collagen. However, the cause of fibroblast excessive proliferation and differentiation is not clear. Immune abnormalities may play an important role, with cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, and other important immune molecules acting on fibroblasts. This paper presents a detailed and comprehensive literature review on this subject.
