In this study, treatment with DPCP alone was more effective for hair regrowth and presented fewer side effects in chronic extensive alopecia areata compared to combination therapy with DPCP and anthralin.

This study found that patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia preferred shared decision-making with their doctors regarding treatment management.

This case report describes a 4-year-old boy with congenital alopecia characterized by complete irreversible hair loss and papular lesions associated with keratin-filled cysts.

This study found that central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia primarily affects adult women of African descent and suggests an association with traumatic hair care practices and delayed diagnosis.

This case series observed a potential familial link in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), suggesting a genetic predisposition that may be worsened by hair grooming practices.

This case report describes a 5-year-old girl with atrichia with papular lesions, whose diagnosis was confirmed through genetic testing identifying mutations in the hairless gene.

This review discusses the evolution and ongoing debate about the causes of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American women, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study found that a peripilar white gray halo around hair emergence is a highly specific and sensitive dermatoscopic feature for diagnosing central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American patients with mild central thinning.

This study suggests that KRTAP2-3 may serve as a novel biomarker to identify cells in the polyaneuploid cancer cell state, which is linked to therapy resistance and poor prognosis in prostate cancer.

This study in Italy found that APS-1, a rare disorder, is associated with various AIRE gene mutations and most individuals have autoantibodies such as IFNωAbs, which are markers of the condition.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African-descent females, discussing possible causes, associated styling habits, and potential treatments, but reports no new clinical findings; the authors call for further research.

Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution is a unique hair loss condition with inflammation and scarring, resembling but distinct from common balding.

This article reviews various types of primary cicatricial alopecias and emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis to improve management strategies, particularly detailing remaining lymphocytic forms and expanding on neutrophilic and mixed types.

CCCA in African Americans may be linked to hair grooming, low vitamin D, and autoimmune factors.

This report describes a rare case of papular atrichia in a 4-year-old girl, highlighting the absence of effective treatment to stimulate hair growth for this condition.

This study found that CPA-loaded nanoparticles, particularly SLN formulations, increased CPA epidermal penetration compared to a conventional cream and may reduce side effects in treating androgen-dependent conditions.

This review discusses fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution and highlights diagnostic features, but reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the value of trichoscopy and histology in diagnosis.

Some people with primary cicatricial alopecia also have inflammatory bowel disease, suggesting a possible connection.

This article describes a rare case of alopecia with both scarring and non-scarring features, combining histologic signs of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia with select immunologic features of alopecia areata.

In this study, APC collagen peptides were observed to enhance hair elasticity and gloss in human hair follicles by increasing amino acid and lipid component levels, suggesting their potential benefits for improving hair qualities.

Alopecia areata often recurs after treatment with diphenylcyclopropenone.

Men with CCCA often face delayed diagnosis and severe hair loss, highlighting the need for earlier recognition and treatment.

This study found that hair regrowth occurred in 72.2% of alopecia areata patients treated with diphencyprone, with disease extent at baseline and duration affecting outcomes.

This study introduced the C-CAT, a new assessment tool for central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, and found that established treatments improved symptoms in most patients over six months.

This study found that adding PRP to DPCP treatment for severe alopecia areata did not enhance effectiveness compared to DPCP alone.

This review discusses various types of primary cicatricial alopecias, categorized by the predominant type of inflammatory cells involved, and reports no new clinical results.

This study identified nine pathogenic variants in the PADI3 gene and variants in the S100A3 and TCHH genes in patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, suggesting a broader genetic basis for the disease and potential targets for genetic testing and therapies.

This study found that hyperpigmentation following contact immunotherapy for severe alopecia areata may indicate poor treatment responsiveness and aligns with characteristics of pigmented contact dermatitis.

This review explores new theories, diagnostic tools, and management strategies for primary cicatricial alopecia but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia were less likely to report treatment improvement and more commonly associated with certain hairstyling practices compared to those with other scarring alopecias.
