Introduction: Introduction: Androgenic alopecia is the most common type of alopecia. It is characterized by alterations in the hair cycle, leading to progressive follicular miniaturization. Platelet-rich plasma, promotes angiogenesis in the tissue by action of growth factors, which stimulate the hair follicle Objective: To eveluate the hair growth in androgenic alopecia, through cell stimulation performed with the subcutaneous injection of platelet-rich plasma. Methods: Three injections of platelet-rich plasma were performed in 18 patients, at 21-day intervals.The evaluation was performed through comparative clinical photographs, dermoscopy, as well from responses to questionnaires. The Mann-Whitney test and Wilcoxon test were used to analyze the results. Results: For seven women who completed the study, the average improvement was 42.85% (patients) and 35.71% (external observer). For the 9 males, the average improvement was 25.55% (patients) and 18.88% (external observer). In Dermoscopy were observed thickening of hairs, improved local circulation and increased number of follicles. Conclusions: An effective and satisfactory response in androgenic alopecia was verified in relation to the platelet-rich plasma injection technique.

The nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn is a congenital benign hamartoma of the skin that occurs more frequently in the scalp, but can also arise in the face. Due to its potential for malignization, exeresis is often required. Lesions located in the scalp are challenging to surgeons because of the anatomical characteristics of this body site, namely scarcity and inelasticity of the adjacent skin. In the present report, the authors describe a case of excision of a nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn located in the scalp, using a bilateral rotation flap – a very straightforward and versatile technique, excellent for reconstructing difficult topographies such as the scalp – for the closure of the surgical wound.
