Little spiny follicular Lichen decalvans

Little spiny follicular lichen decalvans - (e. g. g. little, 1867-1950, English dermatologist) is a rare skin disease characterized by the appearance of small spiny rashes around the hair follicles, leading to baldness (decalvation).

The disease was first described in 1889 by the English dermatologist Ernest Graham Little, after whom it received its name. The reasons for the development of little lichen follicularis decalvans are not completely clear; presumably, it may be a manifestation of an autoimmune process.

Clinical manifestations include the appearance of multiple small (up to 1 mm) papules and pink or reddish plaques around the hair follicles. The scalp, eyelashes and eyebrows are mainly affected. Subsequently, scarring and baldness occur in the affected areas.

Diagnosis is based on the clinical picture and histological examination. Differential diagnosis is carried out with other follicular dermatoses. Treatment is usually ineffective. Glucocorticosteroids are prescribed locally and systemically, retinoids, and antimalarial drugs. The prognosis is generally unfavorable.

Litola Thomas Willett (1866-1940) - American dermatologist and gynecologist specializing in the treatment of skin diseases, including lichen planus, psoriasis, eczema, blistering diseases, etc. He is the founder of the first educational institution for dermatology in the United States - the University of Kansas School of Medicine , which was opened in 1909.

Littola was involved in clinical research, including successful dermatoplasty operations. He also developed methods for diagnosing and treating a number of skin diseases. Littola was famous for his microscopy and various types of tissue staining techniques, which later became standard in dermatological practice and in modern skin research .

Litera T. Willetta became the first female MD in the United States in her specialty of dermatology. She was also the first female editor of the American Journal of Dermatology and the first female head of the American Dermatological Association. In addition to her scientific and research activities, Littola also wrote a patient journal. Many scientists appreciated her work and believed that they should learn from her method of transmitting knowledge.

Little spinous lichen planus pilaris is a poorly understood skin disease. This occurs due to the inability of the lymphatic system to block the infection.

Symptoms include bumps of varying sizes, the surface of which may be smooth, moist or rough, bare or covered with skin. These formations can persist and most often appear on the neck and shoulders. As a result of disruption of the nervous system and blood circulation passing through the nerves of this area, swelling and deformation of the body of the lump occurs, which is manifested by their “rough appearance” and the difficulty of preserving the skin in these places. The rash can be localized to one area or spread throughout the body. Most often, their appearance is caused by various injuries and skin irritations,
