This study identified a new dermoscopic feature, plexiform erythema, in lichen planopilaris lesions, suggesting it may indicate active disease and the potential need for more aggressive treatment.

This review highlights the potential of combining microneedling with exosome therapy in treating various dermatological conditions, but emphasizes the need for more evidence regarding its safety and effectiveness.

This study found that acral lick dermatitis in dogs has a higher prevalence in young male dogs, especially Labrador retrievers, during colder months, with psychogenic triggers being the most common cause.

This abstract discusses the classification of scarring alopecia, distinguishing it from secondary scarring alopecia and detailing its subtypes based on inflammation patterns and cells present during the disease's active phase, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, patients using ALERANA® 5% topical spray and Serum BIO active complex for stress-induced nonscarring alopecia saw a 17% increase in hair amount within 3 months, and it was well tolerated.

This paper discusses microsurgical autologous hair transplantation as a method to improve androgenetic and non-active scarring alopecias, emphasizing the importance of surgeon expertise and proper planning; no new clinical results are provided.

This study reported that mycophenolate mofetil was effective in reducing signs and symptoms of active lichen planopilaris in 83% of patients who had failed multiple prior treatments.

This case study reports a rare coexistence of alopecia areata and lichen planopilaris in a 37-year-old woman and highlights the importance of targeting active scalp areas for biopsy to appropriately manage coexisting scarring and non-scarring alopecias, with distinct therapeutic priorities.

This study found that infrared thermography might be a useful non-invasive tool to help diagnose frontal fibrosing alopecia by identifying active phases of the disease.

This review discusses surgical and future therapeutic options for cicatricial alopecia and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for more options for patients without active disease signs.

This study found that trichoscopic examination is useful for diagnosing and monitoring systemic lupus erythematosus, with severe diffuse non-scarring alopecia indicating active disease.

In this clinical experience, treating frontal fibrosing alopecia with oral finasteride, hydroxychloroquine, tacrolimus, and excimer laser was associated with optimal results in patients with active inflammation.

This review found that microneedling is generally safe, with most adverse effects being minor and resolving quickly, though there is increased risk in patients with active infections, darker skin, or metal allergies.

This study reported that 7.80% of systemic lupus erythematosus patients experienced scarring alopecia, with mucocutaneous lesions and certain autoantibodies identified as risk factors, and some organ involvements and immunosuppressants as protective factors.

Non-scarring hair loss can be diagnosed with two 4mm punch biopsies, one cut vertically and the other transversely.

In this cross-sectional study, both follicular lichen planus and discoid lupus erythematosus were identified as common causes of scarring alopecia, affecting young people with a more favorable prognosis for hair regrowth in discoid lupus erythematosus compared to follicular lichen planus.

This study demonstrated that disrupting EGFR signaling in mice leads to immune sensitivity compromising the hair follicle's protective environment, but JAK1/2 inhibition can restore this immune privilege and stimulate hair growth, suggesting a potential therapy for scarring hair loss diseases like cicatricial alopecia.

This study demonstrated that litifilimab significantly reduced disease activity in cutaneous lupus erythematosus by Week 16, with improvements most notable in sunlight-exposed skin areas.

In this study, the researchers found that the effectiveness of a 1,550-nm fractional laser in promoting hair growth in mice depends on the specific combination of beam energy and density, with inappropriate settings potentially causing ulcers or hair follicle injury.

This presentation reviews common myths and practical treatment guidance for dandruff and scalp seborrheic dermatitis but does not provide new research findings.

This study found that vitamin D levels were lower in alopecia areata patients, with trichoscopic features like broken hairs and black dots more prevalent in cases with vitamin D deficiency.

The document concludes that understanding nail anatomy is key for diagnosing nail diseases, early signs of nail melanoma may allow for less aggressive treatment, and specific genetic mutations are important in thyroid cancer prognosis and treatment.

This observational study reports a striking correlation between the use of henna hair dye and a specific pattern of hair loss, termed "hennapecia," but calls for experimental research to determine causality.

This study found that patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and diffuse hair loss showed non-scarring alopecia without inflammation and a decrease in total hair follicles.

This study found that the vehicle of hydrocortisone impacts its absorption and therapeutic effectiveness, as demonstrated by efficacy tests using UV-erythema and vasoconstriction models.

This report describes a unique case of dyschromatosis universalis in a 10-year-old Haitian male, notable for the presence of a silvery sheen to his scalp hairs and eyelashes, which may represent a variation of the condition.

Wound healing is a complex process involving different cells and stages, leading to scar tissue formation and strength increase over time.

This chapter reviews treatment options for androgenetic alopecia, noting FDA-approved finasteride and minoxidil for stabilizing or improving scalp coverage, positive off-label results with platelet-rich plasma, and effectiveness of hair transplantation using healthy follicular units.

This study suggests that tetracycline may be more effective for treating lichen planopilaris than previously thought, alongside topical high-potency and intralesional corticosteroids.

This review explores the interactions between the skin, peripheral nervous system, and immune system and reports no new results; the authors highlight the importance of understanding these connections for various skin conditions.
