    TLDR Surgical debridement and targeted therapies can effectively heal chronic wounds in KID syndrome.
    This case report describes the successful treatment of a 35-year-old male with KID syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, who had chronic lower-limb wounds resistant to conservative treatment. The patient underwent surgical debridement and received topical treatment with Hyiodine gel, which contains hyaluronic acid and iodine, along with systemic antibacterial and antifungal therapy. Despite significant intraoperative bleeding, the patient experienced strong wound regeneration, reduced pain, and improved mobility, achieving stable wound closure and full functional recovery after more than two years of follow-up. The report highlights the effectiveness of combining surgical debridement with targeted pharmacological management for complex wounds in KID syndrome, though the findings are limited by the single-patient design.

      Men with hair loss might have lichen planopilaris (LPP), which can mimic androgenetic alopecia, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment with finasteride or dutasteride. Proper diagnosis, including biopsies, is crucial to distinguish between androgenetic alopecia and conditions like LPP.

      Hair loss is linked to DHT, with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil being common but not definitive. Economic interests influence research, and there is potential for new treatments like PP405 and RU58841.
