François Henri Hallopeau 

François Henri Hallopeau (1842-01-17, Paris – March 1919) was a French dermatologist. He studied medicine under Alfred Vulpian and Sigismond Jaccoud. He co-founded and was secretary general of the Société Française de dermatologie et de syphiligraphie. He became a member of the Académie de Médecine in 1893.

He coined the medical term "trichotillomania" in 1887. He also coined the word "antibiotique" in 1871 to describe a substance opposed to the development of life. Selman Waksman would later be credited with coining the word "antibiotic" to describe such compounds that were derived from other living organisms such as penicillin.
