Specklinia barbae is a species of orchid plant native to Costa Rica. [1]
Alopecia areata, also known as spot baldness, is a condition in which hair is lost from some or all areas of the body. Often it results in a few bald spots on the scalp, each about the size of a coin. The disease may cause psychological stress. People are generally otherwise healthy. In a few cases, all the hair on the scalp is lost or all body hair is lost and loss can be permanent.
Tinea corporis, also known as ringworm, is a superficial fungal infection (dermatophytosis) of the arms and legs, especially on glabrous skin; however, it may occur on any part of the body. It is similar to other forms of tinea.
Tinea barbae is a fungal infection of the hair. Tinea barbae is due to a dermatophytic infection around the bearded area of men. Generally, the infection occurs as a follicular inflammation, or as a cutaneous granulomatous lesion, i.e. a chronic inflammatory reaction. It is one of the causes of folliculitis. It is most common among agricultural workers, as the transmission is more common from animal-to-human than human-to-human. The most common causes are Trichophyton mentagrophytes and T. verrucosum.
Pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) is a persistent irritation caused by shaving. It was first described in 1956.
Acne keloidalis nuchae is a destructive scarring folliculitis that occurs almost exclusively on the occipital scalp of people of African descent, primarily men.
Specklinia is a genus of orchids native to South America, Central America, and the Caribbean. It contains approximately 100 species.
Le Bitu is a book which compiles a register of numerous commercium songs. As an important part of student folklore, it is considered a must-have for students who want to be involved in societies in the French-speaking part of Belgium.
Acne is acneiform eruptions. It is usually used as a synonym for acne vulgaris, but may also refer to:
Sycosis is an inflammation of hair follicles, especially of the beard area, and generally classified as papulopustular and chronic.
Ingrown hair is a condition where a hair curls back or grows sideways into the skin. The condition is most prevalent among people who have coarse or curly hair. It may or may not be accompanied by an infection of the hair follicle (folliculitis) or "razor bumps", which vary in size. While ingrown hair most commonly appears in areas where the skin is shaved or waxed, it can appear anywhere. Anything which causes the hair to be broken off unevenly with a sharp tip can cause ingrown hairs. Ingrown hairs are also caused because of lack of natural exfoliation in the skin.
PFB or pfb may refer to:
Gasteria is a genus of succulent plants, native to South Africa.
David Gruby was a Hungarian physician born in the village of Kis-Kér to a poor Jewish farmer. He received his doctorate in Vienna and performed scientific research in Paris.
Barber's itch may refer to:
Plants are mainly multicellular organisms, predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. Historically, plants were treated as one of two kingdoms including all living things that were not animals, and all algae and fungi were treated as plants. However, all current definitions of Plantae exclude the fungi and some algae, as well as the prokaryotes. By one definition, plants form the clade Viridiplantae, a group that includes the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns and their allies, hornworts, liverworts, mosses, and the green algae, but excludes the red and brown algae.
Sycosis vulgaris is a cutaneous condition characterized by a chronic infection of the chin or bearded region. The irritation is caused by a deep infection of hair follicles, often by species of Staphylococcus or Propionibacterium bacteria. Asymptomatic or painful and tender erythematous papules and pustules may form around coarse hair in the beard or the back of the neck.
Lupoid sycosis is a cutaneous condition that is characterized by a scarring form of deep folliculitis, typically affecting the beard area.
Favus or tinea favosa is the severe form of Tinea capitis, a skin infectious disease caused by the dermatophyte fungus Trichophyton schoenleinii. Typically the species affects the scalp, but occasionally occurs as onychomycosis, tinea barbae, or tinea corporis.
Glyphidocera barbae is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Adamski in 2005. It is found in Costa Rica.
The czupryna, also known as the Polish halfshaven head, is a traditional Polish noble haircut, associated mainly with sarmatism, but worn by Poles in the Middle Ages too. It is marked by shaving hair above the ears and on the neck on the same height, with longer hair on the top of the head. For hundreds of years it was typical of Poles.
