Two cases of a rare skin condition were successfully treated with laser therapy, offering a non-surgical treatment option.

Thick scalp melanoma can be hard to diagnose because it often looks like other skin conditions.

This study investigated pilomatrixoma, a benign skin tumor, and found that irregular expression of β-catenin and Lef-1 in transitional cells may contribute to amorphous debris and cyst formation.

This case report describes an adolescent female with a linear array of trichoepitheliomas on her left neck, highlighting the clinical presentation of this benign tumor.

This study identified and described a new form of alopecia termed "macular alopecia," predominantly affecting young Hispanic/Latinx females, characterized by small macules on the scalp with a high rate (63%) of spontaneous resolution in about five months.

This case study documented a black male newborn developing large bullae that healed with hypopigmentation, suspecting proteolytic enzymes in keratinocytes caused the collagenolysis responsible for the condition.

This review discusses the role of melanocytes in skin pigmentation and UV protection, explaining their interactions with keratinocytes and highlighting their involvement in processes like melanin transfer and melanoma development, but reports no new results.

This case report describes a black male newborn who developed bullae that healed with hypopigmentation, linked to collagenolysis and RER vacuoles potentially containing proteolytic enzymes.

Hair removal with intense pulsed light can cause rare skin lesions that are hard to fully treat.

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.

In this report, a 1-year-old boy with congenital atrichia with papular lesions was found to have a complete absence of scalp and body hair and keratin-filled cysts due to a mutation in the hairless gene.

In this study, a novel E583V missense mutation in the hairless gene was identified in an Italian family with atrichia with papular lesions, reinforcing the significance of zinc-finger and LXXLL domains in this condition.

This study reports cases of androgenetic alopecia patients with depigmented macules on sun-exposed scalp areas, suggesting potential ultraviolet-induced scalp leukoderma not covered in existing dermatology texts.

A woman got melanoma on her scalp after anti-hair loss treatment with injections.

This report describes three cases of erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli showing significant improvement in facial telangiectasia following treatment with a 595-nm pulsed dye laser, with minimal recurrence observed during follow-up.

This case report describes an adult female with concurrent mycosis fungoides and papillary dermal elastolysis, highlighting the importance of considering rare presentations in differential diagnoses.

This review details the characteristics, associations, and differential diagnoses of vitiligo and reports no new clinical findings.

This case report discusses a benign trichofolliculoma in a 40-year-old woman, confirmed through histopathological examination with no recurrence noted during a one-year follow-up period.

This study observed that melanocytes in the outer root sheath of fetal scalp hair follicles may act as stem cells, showing rapid proliferation but immature function and morphology in culture.

This case report suggests that identifying hyperpigmentation on the upper eyelid with specific dermoscopy patterns could help diagnose facial lichen planus pigmentosus without needing a facial biopsy.

This case report details the dermoscopic features of bilateral cutaneous larva migrans in an adult male, noting similarities with lymphangioma circumscriptum but highlights that typical dermoscopy magnification may be insufficient for diagnosis.

This case report describes a young patient with a unique combination of dysmorphism, bullous eruption, skin and muscle atrophy, and hyperpigmentation that doesn't fit existing nosological categories.

This case report presented a 52-year-old man with cutaneous focal mucinosis, exhibiting rare follicular induction of the epidermis, underscoring the importance of recognizing this association in differential diagnoses.

This study suggests that congenital atrichia with papular lesions may be more common than previously thought and proposes diagnostic criteria including the observation of hypopigmented whitish streaks on the scalp.

A boy with a rare birthmark called verrucous hemangioma needed careful timing for surgery due to its size and depth.

This study found that scalp melanoma in areas with androgenetic alopecia presents with more frequent detrimental mutations and may have a poorer prognosis due to late diagnosis linked to hair concealment.

This report describes the clinical and histopathological features of lipoid proteinosis in a brother and sister with lid lesions, highlighting the importance of recognizing such lesions for diagnosis.

This case report suggests that nonsynchronized segmented heterochromia in black scalp hair in a 14-year-old girl may represent premature greying unrelated to deficiencies in iron, copper, zinc, or protein.

This article reports two new cases of erythromelanosis follicularis faciei in women and includes a literature review on this rarely diagnosed condition.

In this study, researchers identified a new dominant mutation in Hairless mice, called Pied, resulting from a deletion in the Adam10 gene, which causes freckle-like skin pigmentation by inhibiting melanocyte expansion.
