This article reviews the epidemiology of desmoplastic melanoma and reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing higher risks in chronically sun-exposed older males.

This report describes a rare case of scarring alopecia, diagnosed as lichen planopilaris (LPP), affecting solely the limbs, highlighting the necessity for thorough evaluation of LPP beyond the scalp.

Using a higher concentration of triamcinolone acetonide leads to faster hair regrowth in scalp patchy alopecia areata.

This study found that trichoscopy was 73.77% concordant with histopathology in diagnosing patchy alopecia, highlighting its usefulness as a diagnostic tool for conditions like alopecia areata, lichen planus pigmentosus, and discoid lupus erythematosus.

A new microneedle patch effectively and safely treats alopecia areata.

In this study, researchers developed a dissolvable microneedle patch containing baricitinib for alopecia areata treatment, reporting significantly higher hair growth in mouse models compared to controls, suggesting its potential as an effective, pain-free topical therapy.

This study observed that recurrent alopecia areata patients with salmon patches on the nape often had severe disease, particularly alopecia areata ophiasis, which was more common in females.

This article explores the pathophysiology of alopecia and reviews various treatment options, including allopathic, homeopathic, naturopathic, cosmeceutical, and ayurvedic approaches, in light of the increasing interest in hair health and the rise in alopecia cases. Results are not reported.

This article explores the various causes of alopecia and provides an overview of treatments such as allopathic, homeopathic, naturopathic, cosmeceutical, and ayurvedic methods, emphasizing recent advancements in addressing hair loss.

This study identified distinct clinical and dermatoscopic features to differentiate non-scarring patchy alopecia in SLE from alopecia areata, emphasizing the value of serological tests in diagnosis.

This article discusses a case of patchy alopecia areata that spares greying hairs but reports no new findings; it refers to existing literature for context.

This study identified a specific genetic variant in the CCHCR1 gene that may contribute to alopecia areata through impaired keratinization, suggesting an alternative mechanism beyond autoimmune causes.

This report describes two cases of cutaneous lupus erythematosus mimicking alopecia areata, highlighting the importance of considering CLE in the diagnosis of patchy hair loss to prevent scarring alopecia.

This study observed that non-scarring diffuse hair loss was common in systemic lupus erythematosus patients, but did not find a significant relationship with the SLE Disease Activity Index.

In this study, 5% minoxidil significantly improved outcomes for children and adults with patchy alopecia areata compared to placebo, with moderate quality evidence and no severe adverse events reported, though more research is needed to address remaining uncertainties.

This study found that in patients with patchy alopecia areata, certain trichoscopic features like upright regrowing hairs and pigtail hairs are positive predictive markers for treatment success.

This report describes four cases of patchy, non-scarring alopecia areata that spared gray hairs and affected only pigmented hairs.

This study found that intralesional injections of triamcinolone acetonide at 5 mg/mL are as effective and safe as 10 mg/mL for treating patchy alopecia areata on the scalp, with similar hair regrowth rates, side effects, and recurrence observed between the two dosages.

This study found that Betamethasone was more effective than Tacrolimus and soft paraffin in promoting hair regrowth in patients with mild to moderate patchy alopecia areata.

This case report describes a 17-year-old boy with alopecia areata who had vitamin D deficiency and an incidentally discovered adrenal ganglioneuroma, with alopecia receding after vitamin D supplementation but later recurring despite normalized vitamin D and no tumor return.

This retrospective cohort study found that individuals with alopecia totalis or universalis have a higher prevalence of systemic autoimmune diseases, particularly endocrine diseases and inflammatory bowel disease, compared to those with patchy alopecia areata.

In this prospective study, 15 patients with patchy alopecia areata treated with intralesional methotrexate every two weeks showed a significant improvement in hair regrowth and reduction in lesion severity, with changes linked to decreased tissue levels of TNF-α.

In this phase 2 trial, STS01 1% significantly improved hair regrowth in patients with mild to moderate patchy alopecia areata compared to placebo, with a manageable skin irritation side effect profile.

This case report from Dr Batra’s Homeopathy Clinic documents a middle-aged man with trichotillomania who showed marked improvement in hair regrowth and reduced hair pulling after receiving a classical homeopathic treatment for seven months.

In this report, a unique case of lupus panniculitis of the scalp was diagnosed in a 40-year-old woman presenting with non-scarring patchy alopecia, which responded completely to oral prednisolone and methotrexate treatment.

This study found that patients with patchy alopecia areata had significantly higher serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNF-α, IL-17A, and IL-21 compared to healthy controls, with these levels correlating positively with disease severity, age, and disease duration.

Alopecia totalis/universalis involves more intense immune activity and inflammation than patchy alopecia areata.

In a phase 2 trial, researchers tested a topical formulation for alopecia areata and found significant hair regrowth with the treatment, but these improvements did not lead to substantial enhancements in health-related quality of life.

This study examines the depiction of a soldier with an atypical hairstyle resembling alopecia in an Isenmann painting, possibly reflecting medical conditions like tinea capitis or alopecia areata to emphasize the soldier's moral degradation, though artists historically mixed medical conditions for stylistic purposes.

This case report highlights that CCCA can present with multifocal patchy hair loss in younger men of African descent, suggesting the need for careful evaluation when diagnosing atypical alopecia patterns.
