SILVA, Leandro  and  SOARES, Rui Oliveira. Hair-follicle transplant as chronic skin ulcer treatment. Port J Dermatol Venereol. [online]. 2022, vol.80, n.1, pp.68-70.  Epub May 16, 2022. ISSN 2795-501X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/pjd.m22000013.

Chronic skin ulcers treatment is a common challenge in clinical dermatology practice. In recent years, hair-follicles transplantation emerged as an effective chronic skin ulcer treatment. The healing improvement is probably due to the action of follicle stem cells. We present a case of a chronic skin ulcer due to livedoid vasculopathy that fully healed 2 months after hair-follicle implantation into the wound bed.
