This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, its similarities to lichen planopilaris, and emphasizes the need for further research due to its underdiagnosis and impact on African-descended women.

This study observed that 65.6% of acne patients also had PCOS, with these individuals showing more severe acne, higher testosterone levels, and greater prevalence of hirsutism and androgenic alopecia compared to those with isolated acne.

This study found that genetic predictions of male pattern baldness derived from European data do not accurately predict baldness in African populations, highlighting significant continental differences in genetic architecture and evolutionary history.

Biopsies matched initial diagnoses in 76.6% of black women with alopecia and led to treatment changes in 44% of cases.

This study conducted in Rabat surveyed 100 individuals with afro-textured hair to identify plant-based treatments, finding twelve plant species purportedly effective in managing hair issues, with Ricinus communis, Cocos nucifera, and Aloe barbadensis being the most frequently cited.

This case report describes a 23-year-old African-American woman who suffered a small bowel obstruction after ingesting hair from a hair weave, highlighting a specific risk associated with trichophagia in Black hair care practices.

This case report highlights a small bowel obstruction from hair ingestion in an African American woman, emphasizing the need for cultural awareness of Black hairstyles in trichotillomania and trichophagia.

This study explored how chronic hair pulling behavior serves as a coping mechanism among African American women, particularly through the lens of eroticism, but reports on narratives rather than clinical results.

This case report highlights that frontal fibrosing alopecia can occur in black patients and may resemble androgenetic alopecia, underscoring the importance of considering FFA when diagnosing frontotemporal alopecia in this population.

This study observed that certain hair care practices, such as wearing cornrows and using hair extensions, were strongly associated with the development of traction alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis in African American girls.

This study observed significant differences in hair care practices and biologic hair parameters between Caucasian and African American women, which may contribute to varying hair fragility and growth.

In this study, a curved nonrotary punch was found to achieve the lowest follicular unit transection rates of less than 5% compared to conventional rotary punches in hair transplantation for patients with tightly curled Afro-textured hair.

This study found significant correlations between old and new ultrasound devices for measuring NF and ovarian volume, being the first on the African continent to reassess ultrasound criteria for PCOS.

Hair care practices and concerns about maintaining hairstyles can reduce how often African American women exercise.

The document is retracted and cannot be summarized.

In this study, dermatophytosis was prevalent among 52% of dogs and 70% of cats with skin lesions, with younger animals facing higher infection risks; combined itraconazole, clotrimazole, supportive care, and vaccination led to the fastest recovery.

This study reviewed 41 cases of lichen planus pigmentosus in patients from southeastern Tunisia, highlighting its prevalence among older individuals and notable differences compared to patterns observed in an Indian cohort.

This review discusses the diagnosis, treatment, and management of atopic dermatitis in developing countries and identifies significant unmet medical needs, particularly in access to care and effective treatments; it reports no clinical results.

This study found no significant proteomic differences in hair samples across racial or geometric groups in a culturally diverse South African cohort, highlighting the limited value of racial classification in precision medicine.

In this study, researchers found that two dominant haplotypes in the EDA2R/AR intergenic region have likely been shaped by demographic changes and selection during human evolution, particularly notable in African and non-African populations.

This study observed that many women with PCOS had unfavorable lipoprotein profiles, mostly moderate changes in triglycerides, HDL, and LDL cholesterol, with small LDL particles not being rare and potentially aiding risk assessment.

In this study, researchers identified four gene variants that may contribute to androgenic alopecia and vitiligo, proposing a novel di-genic inheritance model that could help guide genomic approaches for personalized treatment and early diagnosis.

This abstract is a narrative piece discussing themes of womanhood, beauty, and resilience, and does not report any new research findings.

This study analyzed the nanotribological properties of various hair types and human skin, revealing differences in friction and adhesion based on ethnicity and hair condition.

In this study, the researchers measured and discussed the friction and wear properties of various hair types against synthetic skin and other hair, finding variations based on factors like ethnicity, hair condition, and environmental conditions.

This review discusses the use of ablative and nonablative fractional resurfacing for enhanced topical drug delivery in dermatology and reports no new clinical results; further studies are needed to explore these methods.

In this study, researchers found that higher concentrations of internal lipids in African hair may influence its keratin structure, as observed through various analytical methods.

This review discusses various herbal therapies, such as Serenoa repens and Pygeum africanum, for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, noting their potential but highlighting unresolved questions about their efficacy and safety.

This study found that bleach treatments significantly increased hair surface roughness and decreased Young's modulus, indicating marked changes in hair's molecular structure which may affect future hair-care product formulation.

This article examines differences in aging among ethnic populations and highlights cosmetic procedures specific to skin of color, but reports no new research findings.
