This study highlights that the combination of adapalene and benzoyl peroxide (Epiduo®) is an effective first-line treatment for acne, significantly inhibiting antibiotic-susceptible and antibiotic-resistant P. acnes strains.

This case report describes the first successful use of telitacicept in treating a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus and a history of papillary thyroid carcinoma, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic option for such conditions.

In this case report, the authors describe a child with treatment-resistant alopecia areata who successfully responded to leflunomide and anthralin, proposing this combination as a potentially cost-effective alternative for managing recalcitrant cases by possibly inhibiting the JAK/STAT pathway.

This study reports that once-daily oxiconazole cream effectively achieves mycologic and clinical cures for various fungal infections, with success rates of at least 80% in patients.

In this study, researchers used in silico mutagenesis to identify key calcium-binding sites influencing the stability of Rand protease from Bacillus subtilis, potentially enhancing its application in industries like leather dehairing by improving stability and eliminating the need for additional metal ions during the process.

In this study, researchers observed that fenugreek aqueous extract was more effective than its alcohol extract in inhibiting the growth of bacteria associated with acne, particularly gram-positive bacteria like Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus.

This study found that nanostructured lipid carriers provided better skin-targeted delivery and drug loading for lidocaine than nanoethosomes, indicating improved local anesthetic efficacy in vitro.

In this case report, long-term oral antibiotics were extremely effective in treating a 49-year-old man with a therapy-resistant botryomycosis infection on his forearm.

This study found that using spanlastics, a nano, surfactant-based drug delivery system, improved the bioavailability, drug release characteristics, and pharmacokinetic behavior of famotidine, a poorly soluble drug, by enhancing its dissolution and membrane permeation.

This study found that treatment with ritlecitinib or brepocitinib was effective in improving scalp hair loss for patients with alopecia areata over 24 weeks compared to placebo.

This study found that combining bromhexine and spironolactone was effective in improving clinical outcomes and reducing viral load or hospitalization duration in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.

This study found that Botryococcus terribilis ethanol extract significantly reduced inflammation markers in LPS-stimulated RAW264 cells, potentially via Axl inhibition and alteration of immune-related gene expression.

This study developed a closed-loop system for emergency wound care that monitors infection in real-time using biomarkers and delivers amikacin-loaded liposomes for treatment, integrating a conductive hydrogel for environmental protection and antibacterial benefits.

This phase 1 study reported that after administering supratherapeutic doses of cortexolone 17α‐propionate, a topical antiandrogen intended for hair loss treatment, there was no effect on the QTc interval, indicating no measurable cardiac safety concerns in the concentration range tested.

This review provides guidelines for physicians on using hormonal therapies, such as androgen receptor blockers and oral contraceptives, to treat hormonally related acne, but reports no new clinical findings.

This systematic review concluded that the support for using spironolactone at commonly prescribed doses is based on evidence of limited quality.

This case study reports that a 35-year-old woman developed nonscarring alopecia following the cosmetic use of poly-L-lactic acid on her face and hairline.

The researchers reported that low-dose methotrexate, in combination with surgical dilatation and local treatments, may improve symptoms in patients with severe stenosing vulvovaginal lichen planus.

This study found that PEGylated Ag₂S-ZnS@TGA-AA heteronanostructures, activated by light exposure, showed synergistic antibacterial effects against multidrug-resistant bacteria, significantly accelerating the healing of MRSA-infected wounds in comparison to untreated wounds.

This study showed that intralesional injections of pentoxifylline may be an effective and safe alternative to triamcinolone acetonide for treating localized alopecia areata.

This study developed electrospun nanofibers containing mupirocin for wound treatment, reporting enhanced antibacterial activity, high water absorption, and accelerated wound healing in a rat model, suggesting potential use for severe skin injuries at risk of infection.

This review article highlights the complexity of treating folliculitis decalvans, emphasizing the role of systemic antibiotics like rifampicin and clindamycin as common treatments, while also discussing promising novel therapies, including biological agents, that require further clinical trials to assess their effectiveness and safety.

This study reported improvement in an 11-year-old boy with refractory alopecia areata after 4 months of treatment with oral abrocitinib, a JAK1 inhibitor, suggesting it may be a potential alternative for pediatric patients unresponsive to conventional therapies.

In this study, ALA-PDT significantly reduced lipogenesis in an acne-like model by upregulating OLR1 and suppressing lipid accumulation, highlighting a potential therapeutic target.

In this study, Deplanque et al. (2016) explored doxycycline's role in preventing erlotinib-induced folliculitis in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer, highlighting skin toxicity as a common side effect that can affect patient adherence to treatment.

In laboratory tests and mouse models, this study found that the novel IPC analog SIG-1451 may offer potent anti-inflammatory effects for treating allergic skin inflammation, potentially outperforming some current therapies in specific inflammatory phases.

This study found that among adolescents with alopecia areata and significant hair loss, treatment with ritlecitinib resulted in greater hair regrowth and self-reported improvement compared to placebo over 48 weeks, with common side effects including headache, acne, and nasopharyngitis.

This study found that the nanostructured lipid carrier formulation with a 70:30 solid to liquid lipid ratio significantly increased the dissolution rate, entrapment efficiency, and stability of spironolactone compared to its raw form.
