This case study reports that a 9-year-old Nepalese boy with tinea capitis successfully recovered with systemic antifungal therapy, though experienced focal alopecia without recurrence at a two-year follow-up.

This report describes a case of tinea capitis caused by Epidermophyton floccosum, highlighting its unusual ability to perforate hair and act as an etiological agent for the condition.

This article reviews various dermatophyte infections, particularly tinea capitis, and discusses their clinical presentations, diagnosis, and treatment, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that specific dermoscopic features, such as altered pigmentary network and yeast invasion of hair follicles, along with certain histopathological features, assist in diagnosing pityriasis versicolor.

This study suggests that in gp91phox-knockout mice, tranexamic acid administration led to brown hair by increasing MGRN1 and collagen XVII levels, while the retention of black hair appears to rely on the gp91phox/ROS/IL-1β/TGF-β pathway.

USB videodermatoscopes are a practical and affordable alternative for diagnosing skin conditions.

This review discusses the clinical features of various types of hair loss, including both common and less common alopecias, and reports no new clinical results.

This study reported complete clinical clearance of tinea capitis in a 3-year-old boy after 8 weeks of treatment with oral griseofulvin and ketoconazole shampoo.

This article reviews pediatric hair growth issues, common causes of hair loss in children, and approaches to diagnosis, but presents no new clinical findings.

This case study reports that combining skin debridement with topical and systemic antifungals improved treatment outcomes for kerion celsi in a 5-year-old boy, preventing scarring alopecia.

This study provided a dynamic 4D atlas showing the development process of mouse hair follicles through a telescope-like model, revealing new insights into the origin of hair follicle stem cells.

This study analyzed the structure and dynamics of ketoconazole, revealing how its molecular characteristics, such as spin-lattice relaxation time and chemical shift anisotropy, are influenced by π-π stacking interactions and different carbon site environments.

This study suggests that specific structural features of minoxidil analogs, such as hydrophobic and hydrogen bond field contributions, are key to enhancing lysyl hydroxylase inhibitory activity, which could inform future hair growth treatments.

Hormonal contraceptives are effective for teens but require careful consideration of side effects and individual health.

This chapter details the causes and diagnostic process of pediatric alopecia, including trichoscopic findings, but reports no new clinical results.

In this case study, a 7-year-old boy with kerion celsi experienced persistent inflammation even after microbiological clearance; dermoscopic-guided removal of hair and keratin debris improved his condition, suggesting a novel inflammatory mechanism involving granulomatous response to keratinous debris in tinea capitis.

In this case series, five pediatric patients with tinea capitis showed varied clinical presentations, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and prompt systemic antifungal therapy to prevent permanent outcomes such as alopecia and scarring.

This study observed that in children with persistent kerion, ingrown hairs could be identified with a dermatoscope and their removal often improved the condition, suggesting that ingrown hairs might be an aggravating factor in the persistence of this fungal infection.

This study reviewed existing literature on Tinea Capitis, highlighting its frequent occurrence in children, the ease of fungal spread from humans or animals, and the necessity for prompt and proper antifungal treatment due to potential drug resistance and complications like alopecia.

In this case study, a 45-year-old immunocompetent woman with tinea capitis exhibited an unusual presentation of the infection with a scaly plaque and hair loss, which responded well to treatment with itraconazole.

This study reports a rare case of tinea capitis in an adult female, where Malassezia species may facilitate Microsporum canis growth, and successful treatment with oral antifungals led to rash resolution and hair regrowth.

This case report describes a child with tinea capitis who experienced complete lesion remission and hair regrowth after early diagnosis and treatment with antifungal medications, highlighting the importance of timely management to prevent complications like scarring and permanent hair loss.

This case study highlights how trichoscopy helped differentiate between diffuse alopecia areata and trichotillomania in an 11-year-old girl, demonstrating its importance in distinguishing hair disorders with similar presentations.

Tinea capitis can be quickly diagnosed and treated using dermoscopy to prevent hair damage.

This paper reviews the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory tinea capitis, highlighting the importance of laboratory confirmation and recommending griseofulvin as the gold standard treatment.

This text describes kerion, a severe form of tinea capitis, and emphasizes the difficulty of diagnosis and the need for oral antifungal treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, white females with Ludwig I female pattern hair loss had significantly higher hair density on the occipital scalp area, while Asian females had significantly thicker hair diameters in both frontal and occipital areas.

This chapter reviews various fungal zoonoses, including dermatophytoses and trichophytosis, and reports no new empirical findings.

This guideline review discusses updated evidence-based recommendations for managing tinea capitis, with a focus on accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and prevention strategies, but reports no new clinical results.

This review presents European guidelines for treating tinea capitis, noting systemic antifungals are essential, with griseofulvin preferred for Microsporum infections and newer antifungals viable for Trichophyton but often costlier.
