Title: Hair loss during postpartum period Causes and management
Biography:
Dermatologist at Care clinic, Kuwait
Abstract:
Diffuse hair loss in the postpartum period is a well-known situation.
However, little is known about the mechanism and causes of this problem.
It is proposed that the percentage of anagen hairs in pregnant woman is significantly higher than no pregnant.
Hair loss seems to increase within 3-6 months after delivery because the conversion f hair from anagen to telogen is slowed down during pregnancy and is accelerated postpartum.
Clinically evident hair loss may occur immediately after delivery or after a variable latent period up to several months postpartum.
There are several theories for why this distressing phenomenon occurs (drop in estrogen level / physiological stress/prolactin/ nutritional factors/anemia…)
Fortunately, this process is self-limited.
Most women will experience recovery from the hair loss although this may take up to 15 months.
In the management of women with hair loss after pregnancy, all treatments seems to work best when initiated early and when used in combination.

Department of Dermatology, St. Luke's Medical Center, Philippines
Abstract:
Background: Sneddon-Wilkinson disease (SWD) is a rare recurrent neutrophilic dermatosis presenting as sterile pustules. It is important to recognize this disease since it can be associated with underlying systemic disease.
Observation: This is a case of a 49-year old Filipino female, with a three-year history of recurrent pustules and papules on the flexural areas of trunk and extremities. She was initially managed as a case of Candidal intertrigo, and responded to oral antifungal treatment. However, pustules would recur. A skin punch biopsy was done, and results were consistent with Subcorneal Pustular Dematosis. She was then diagnosed to have SWD. Dapsone was given after clearance with normal baseline laboratory exams including G6PD levels. After 2 weeks of Dapsone, patient developed erythematous desquamating plaques on trunks and extremities. Despite the cutaneous lesion, no fever, jaundice, lymphadenopathy and abdominal tenderness were noted. Complete blood count, and liver function tests were all normal. Hence, a Dapsone Hypersensitivity Syndrome was unlikely. She was then managed to have a hypersensitivity reaction to Dapsone. Dapsone was discontinued and she was shifted to oral Colchicine. After 6 weeks of Colchicine therapy, lesions did not recur. Her serum free light chain panel were also normal. Patient was in remission for 6 months thereafter.
