In this literature review, researchers identified 68 African plants used in hair treatment, noting that 58 of these may also help with glucose metabolism issues, suggesting a nutritional therapy approach might explain their benefits.

This review provides a detailed overview of the causes, prevalence, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and treatment of beard alopecia, highlighting conditions such as alopecia areata, pseudofolliculitis barbae, and tinea barbae, and aims to serve as a resource for clinicians handling such cases.

This study found that in Yogyakarta, dermatophytosis in cats is primarily caused by M. canis and characterized by symptoms such as alopecia, crust, and erythema.

This case report identifies a 13-year-old boy with disseminated tinea incognito, emphasizing the importance of considering fungal infections when red and scaly lesions persist despite corticosteroid treatment.

This study found that preserving hair follicles at 4℃ using Ringer's solution during FUE Megasession hair transplantation surgery significantly improves cell survival rates and supports optimal hair growth, demonstrating clinical feasibility for longer procedures.

In this study, an infection model using rabbits was developed for dermatophytosis by inoculating macroconidia of Microsporum species, showing that direct intradermal application effectively progressed to the skin invasion phase and highlighted the correlation between severity of symptoms and duration post-inoculation.

This case report describes a Dogo Argentino dog with M. nanum infection, likely from hunting wild boar, that responded well to itraconazole and topical miconazole treatment.

This article reviews the use of dermoscopy as a noninvasive tool for diagnosing various types of nonscarring alopecia but presents no new clinical findings.

The document concludes that various disorders can cause hair loss in dogs, each requiring different treatments, and some may heal on their own.

This study found that continuous itraconazole therapy was more effective than pulse therapy for treating tinea capitis caused by Microsporum ferrugineum, with a higher cumulative cure rate and no significant adverse effects.

This case report describes a 19-year-old farmer who experienced difficulty breathing due to a fungal infection in the neck, successfully treated with antibiotics and antifungal medications.

This study reported that tinea capitis, though rare in infants under 1 year, should be suspected in those with hair loss or scalp inflammation and can be effectively treated with specific antifungal medications.

The document says that hookworms are treated with mebendazole and stress-related hair loss usually gets better in 6 months, while other hair loss types have specific treatments.

The document concludes that while some hair and scalp disorders can be treated, hair loss from destroyed follicles is permanent, and damaged hair can only regrow naturally.

This report details a refined hair transplantation method called direct no-shave follicular unit excision (DNS FUE), which avoids donor-site shaving and minimizes follicular trauma while yielding high patient satisfaction.

In this study, outbreaks of tinea capitis caused by Trichophyton tonsurans were linked to hairdressing in Sardinian barbershops, with 10 young adult men developing the infection following haircuts; timely treatment is crucial to prevent complications like scarring alopecia.

This review reports that tinea capitis is uncommon in adults, with postmenopausal African American or Black women at higher risk, and emphasizes the importance of prompt antifungal treatment to prevent complications.

This study found that ring block anesthesia was the most acceptable method for reducing pain during platelet-rich plasma injections for hair loss.

In this study, researchers found that a ring block technique was the most accepted anesthesia modality for platelet-rich plasma injections in hair loss treatment, with the least post-procedural pain compared to other methods like vibration anesthesia and nerve blocks.

This research outlined techniques for local anesthesia in follicular unit excision hair transplantation, highlighting that using ring blocks can significantly reduce pain and enhance patient comfort, making it the preferred method over nerve blocks unless ring blocks are insufficient.

This article reviews local anesthesia techniques for Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) hair transplantation, noting that ring blocks are preferred due to their simplicity, effectiveness, and safety, while nerve blocks are used when additional anesthesia is needed.

This case report describes a rare instance of dissecting cellulitis of the scalp in a White child, which is uncommon in pediatric cases and presented challenges in diagnosis and treatment.

This study found that among 86 skin scrapings from various dog breeds with ringworm lesions, Microsporum species were the predominant fungal infection, with Labradors showing the highest infection rate. Miconazole was most effective in antifungal susceptibility tests.

This study suggests that PGD2 may increase testosterone production in keratinocytes through oxidative stress pathways, with n-acetyl-cysteine blocking this effect.

Some African American women experience central scalp hair loss, often linked to a history of fungal scalp infection.

This study developed a new method for synthesizing finasteride that eliminates the need for expensive and toxic chemicals, achieving high purity and a 24.2% yield.

This research outlines a chemical synthesis process for Finasteride, detailing the conversion of pregnadienolone acetate through various chemical reactions and modifications.

This study successfully developed a synthetic route for finasteride that achieves a 30.6% yield and is suitable for industrial production, avoiding the use of expensive or poisonous reagents.

This article outlines how pediatric hair problems present and how they can be assessed, without reporting new research results.

More research is needed to understand hair and scalp disorders in children with skin of color.
