This article is a letter to the editors about a novel observation regarding chemotherapy-induced alopecia and does not include an abstract with new research results.

This case study in a renal transplant patient observed that eruptive KA-type SCCs exhibited aggressive behavior and genetic expression changes following intralesional chemotherapy, indicating potential caution against routine use of such treatments in similar cases.

This case report suggests that topical diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) may be beneficial for treating both alopecia areata and verruca vulgaris, although it is not typically a first-line therapy.

Imiquimod improved skin pigmentation in most patients with xeroderma pigmentosum and may prevent further skin cancer, but some treatments can have side effects.

This case report describes a 45-year-old man with male pattern baldness who began regrowing hair after receiving fluorouracil treatment for scalp actinic keratosis.

In a randomized phase 2b clinical trial, oral ritlecitinib significantly reduced facial vitiligo area scores in patients with active nonsegmental vitiligo compared to placebo, with a favorable safety profile observed over 48 weeks, suggesting its potential as an effective treatment option (Ezzedine et al., 2023).

This case report describes a unique instance of keratoacanthomas developing within a red ink tattoo on a 51-year-old male, eight years after tattoo placement, and highlights the importance of monitoring for these lesions in tattoos, particularly red ink.

This review discusses the unique characteristics and possible pathophysiology of spiny keratoderma, reporting no new clinical results, but suggests that some therapies might alleviate symptoms.

This study found that down-regulation of sonic hedgehog gene expression is a critical early event in chemotherapy-induced tissue damage in hair and feather follicles.

This article contains only correspondence information and acknowledges contributions but reports no new research results.

This chapter reviews studies on the side effects of cytostatics and immunosuppressive drugs, detailing various toxicities such as cardiovascular, pulmonary, and neurotoxicity, but provides no new clinical results.

This review reports no new results and discusses various topical treatments, noting that fluocortin butyl ester offers anti-inflammatory effects without systemic side effects, while combinations outperform single-agent therapies in managing hyperpigmentation.

This article reports a case where a man's hair regrew after treating actinic keratosis with fluorouracil, suggesting a possible unexpected effect of the treatment.

This review discusses the regulatory roles of type 2 alarmin cytokines in skin immunity, focusing on their implications in host defense, chronic inflammation, and cancer, but reports no new clinical results.

This study developed a triple drug delivery system using nanoparticles loaded with 5-fluorouracil, curcumin, and piperine to target breast tumors, demonstrating notable in vitro cytotoxicity and anti-metastatic potential in 3D tumor spheroids which suggests its promise for further preclinical evaluation.

In patients undergoing treatment with capecitabine for colon cancer and metastatic breast cancer, this study observed that hand-foot syndrome occurred more frequently than with intravenous 5-FU, but other side effects were less common.

This study found that combining Juniperus communis extract with 5-Fluorouracil inhibited oral cancer cell growth more effectively than 5-FU alone, inducing cancer cell death and reducing drug resistance by affecting key cellular pathways and proteins.

Terbinafine is the most effective medicine for fungal nail infections, especially for diabetics and those with weak immune systems.

This study found that nanoethosomes containing Lidocaine showed effective skin penetration, suggesting they may be a suitable carrier for topical anesthetic delivery.

This study found that nearly all nurses caring for chemotherapy patients showed detectable levels of cyclophosphamide in their urine, indicating significant occupational exposure to this antineoplastic drug.

Finasteride increases hair density in female androgenetic alopecia, but individual results may vary.

This study found that for metastatic colorectal cancer patients, substituting calcium folinate with disodium folinate in combination with fluorouracil and oxaliplatin showed similar effectiveness and safety as the mFOLFOX6 regimen.
