This study found that in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, combining topical tacrolimus with isotretinoin is more effective after four weeks of treatment compared to tacrolimus with finasteride, though both regimens offered some benefit.

This study suggests that the T allele of the SNP rs2476601 in the PTPN22 gene may increase the risk of alopecia areata, although further studies are necessary to validate this finding across different populations.

Tofacitinib is a potential alternative treatment for alopecia totalis, especially in patients with a shorter duration of the condition and more preserved hair follicles, but the overall response rate is low.

In this narrative review, researchers evaluated existing literature on the treatment of frontal fibrosing alopecia, finding that while no curative treatment exists, clinical improvements can be achieved through personalized and combined therapy approaches.

In this study, oral tofacitinib showed higher efficacy and tolerability in treating refractory alopecia totalis and universalis compared to traditional treatments, achieving a 50% improvement in severity scores for 44.4% of patients over six months, with fewer adverse effects.

This study found that polycystic ovary syndrome was the most common cause of hirsutism among premenopausal women in Algeria.

This article offers dermoscopic comparisons between fibrosing alopecia and androgenetic alopecia with seborrheic dermatitis but reports no new research findings.

This case report found that a woman's hair loss, which progressed while using spironolactone and topical minoxidil, reversed after switching to flutamide therapy.

This review summarizes the current treatment modalities for frontal fibrosing alopecia and provides a practical guide for clinicians, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report documents two postmenopausal women with frontal fibrosing alopecia whose hair loss stabilized after treatment with topical corticosteroids, one also using minoxidil.

This study found that women with female pattern hair loss exhibited hormonal imbalances, with the Free Androgen Index being a particularly effective diagnostic marker.

This review discusses hair transplant techniques for female pattern hair loss and reports no new clinical results; it highlights the benefits of transplants combined with various treatments for improved hair density and styling options.

This study suggests that early initiation of treatment in fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution may lead to a more favorable outcome, as evident in some patients experiencing arrested disease progression and hair regrowth.

This study observed that antifungal treatment in fungal asthma patients led to a significant decrease in oral corticosteroid use, though the clinical importance remains unclear due to potential confounders.
