research 5. HIV, Fungal and Infectious Diseases
The document concludes that various treatments for skin conditions are effective, but some require further research, and certain factors like gender and lifestyle can influence disease outcomes.
research 1. Medical Practice; Therapy; Adverse Reactions
Blood pressure drugs can cause skin lupus, but it improves after stopping the drug. The glycoprotein D vaccine works against genital herpes in some women, and the HPV-16 vaccine reduces HPV-16 infection and related diseases. More frequent light therapy clears psoriasis faster. A cream called imiquimod effectively treats a type of skin cancer. Iron supplements don't necessarily help with chronic hair loss in women.
