Some nutrients and antioxidants may improve skin and hair health, but more research is needed to confirm these benefits.

This article discusses treatments for male pattern alopecia, noting variable response rates, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report suggests that poor hair and nail growth in children with autism spectrum disorder and developmental delay may indicate a biotin-responsive condition, as biotin and acetazolamide therapy improved symptoms and school performance in the reported patient.

In this case study, an 8-day-old neonate with holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency showed dramatic improvement in lactic acidosis and overall clinical condition following biotin mega-dose therapy, highlighting the importance of early genetic testing and timely treatment in such metabolic disorders.

This study investigates differences in nutritional status, vitamin, and mineral levels between individuals with telogen effluvium and a control group, aiming to understand the nutritional factors involved in this condition.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had lower serum zinc and biotin levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting these deficiencies may play a role in the condition's pathogenesis.

A young boy's uncombable hair is due to a rare genetic condition that usually improves over time.

This article reviews alopecia areata incognita, a rare condition mostly seen in young women, and discusses its similarities and differences with telogen effluvium; however, it reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that many individuals with alopecia areata seek or receive dietary and nutritional advice to manage their condition, often making changes such as taking supplements or adding specific foods, yet most reported no change in their disease status.

This case study of three siblings highlights the importance of recognizing dermatologic signs—alopecia and periorificial dermatitis—for early diagnosis and treatment of biotin-responsive multiple carboxylase deficiency.

This study describes a family with uncombable hair syndrome, suggesting autosomal dominant inheritance, and reports that oral biotin improved hair appearance in two young patients.

This review discusses various therapeutic options for alopecia areata and reports no new clinical results; treatments may manage symptoms but do not cure the condition.

This study found no significant difference in serum biotin levels between patients with telogen effluvium and control subjects.

This study observed that a mesotherapy formulation was associated with statistically significant improvements in hair quantity, thickness, and scalp condition among 23 patients with androgenetic alopecia, without noted side effects.

In this study, among 50 patients with premature hair graying, the combination of biotin, zinc, and calcium pantothenate showed no significant efficacy in treating the condition, and the researchers observed associations with other disorders such as anemia, alopecia areata, thyroid disorder, and vitiligo.

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 38% of women with hair loss had a biotin deficiency, suggesting oral biotin supplementation should be based on confirmed biotin deficiency rather than as a general treatment.

This case report describes a 5-month-old Japanese infant with biotin deficiency, where daily oral biotin supplementation led to significant improvements in skin conditions and hair growth.

This study found that biotin deficiency in mice led to reduced zinc levels, disappearance of epidermal Langerhans cells, and increased ATP production, resulting in prolonged irritant contact dermatitis.

This review discusses biotin supplementation for dermatological conditions and highlights the lack of strong evidence supporting its efficacy, as well as the potential for laboratory testing interference.

This review examines clinical studies on the effectiveness of biotin in treating hair loss, detailing its role in hair health, recommended usage guidelines, and potential side effects, aiding physicians and patients interested in hair loss prevention and treatment.

In this case report, a 24-year-old male with acquired distal trichorrhexis nodosa showed significant improvement after avoiding harmful hair treatments and using a repair shampoo alongside biotin and zinc supplements.

This article reviews the role of micronutrient deficiencies in idiopathic alopecia and suggests that diets rich in protein, vegetables, and soy may support hair growth, though it reports no new clinical findings.

This consensus paper reviews expert opinions on treating telogen effluvium but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, biotinidase deficiency in children usually presented with neurological or skin symptoms, while metabolic ketoacidosis and organic aciduria appeared later.

This study suggests that biotin therapy may be beneficial for individuals with partial biotinidase deficiency, as some developed symptoms later, which resolved with treatment.

This case report describes a girl in China with biotinidase deficiency confirmed by genetic mutations, whose skin and hair symptoms improved with biotin therapy.
