Accessory Structures of the Skin: Hair Growth and Types

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Hair Growth and Types

Hair growth begins with the production of keratinocytes by the basal cells of the hair bulb. As new cells are deposited at the hair bulb, the hair shaft is pushed through the follicle toward the surface. Keratinization is completed as the cells are pushed to the skin surface to form the shaft of hair that is externally visible. The external hair is completely dead and composed entirely of keratin. Hair can be cut or shaven without damaging the hair structure because the cut is superficial. Most...

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

A hair follicle or HF is a small part of the skin that produces the hair shaft. Paul Gerson Unna was the first to observe a bulge in the human hair follicle's outer root sheath (ORS). The bulge is present between the sebaceous gland and the arrector pili muscle and is the niche for hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). The bulge is also a niche for melanocyte stem cells, and their loss results in graying of hair. The HFSCs express Sox9 and Lhx2, which help them maintain stemness and prevent...

Papillary Dermis

Papillary Dermis

Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...

Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery

Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery

Here is a stepwise guide to assessing the body temperature at the temporal artery using a temporal artery thermometer
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don a fresh pair of gloves to prevent cross-infection and ensure patient safety.
Step 2: Explain the procedure to the patient to establish trust. Clear communication establishes trust with the patient, ensures they understand what to expect, promotes cooperation, and enhances comfort during the procedure.
Step 3: Assess the patient's...

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Trichology

Background:

Triangular temporal alopecia (TTA) is a benign, non-scarring hair loss condition.
It typically affects the temporal scalp in children aged 2-9 years.
TTA is usually asymptomatic and self-limiting.

Observation:

This case report presents TTA in an adult woman with no prior history of alopecia.
The condition presented as a circumscribed area of hair loss on the temporal scalp.
The patient was asymptomatic and the alopecia was non-scarring.

Findings:

Adult-onset TTA is rare but can occur.
Misdiagnosis of TTA in adults can lead to inappropriate treatments like steroids.
Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate patient management.

Implications:

Highlights the importance of recognizing TTA in adult patients.
Emphasizes the need for differential diagnosis to avoid unnecessary interventions.
Contributes to the limited literature on TTA in adults, aiding future clinical practice.
