This study found that mahanimbicine and a crude extract of Murraya koenigii may enhance wound healing in rats by promoting faster wound contraction and higher collagen deposition.

Bullous pemphigoid can look like erythema multiforme, so awareness is needed for proper treatment.

This study explored the intersection of art and medicine, specifically examining the depiction of the malar rash associated with lupus in historical paintings. The authors suggest that this approach, known as iconodiagnosis, can enhance medical education and understanding of disease manifestations through visual arts.

This study reports a case of a woman with Cushing's disease whose initial complaint was hair loss, a rare presenting symptom, despite multiple dermatological signs like easy bruising and violaceous striae being more indicative of the condition.

In this case study, a 12-year-old boy with a restricted diet exhibited symptoms of scurvy, including leg weakness and bruising, which improved following treatment with vitamin C and B12 supplements, highlighting the impact of severe vitamin deficiencies on health.

Low vitamin C caused bleeding and corkscrew hair, resolved with vitamin C treatment.

Adjusting the medication tacrolimus resolved a boy's red nail beds after a stem cell transplant.

The document concludes that skin and nail changes can indicate various underlying health conditions.

This study presents a method using polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography to accurately assess the depth of burn wound damage in the dermal collagen matrix, potentially improving diagnosis beyond traditional visual methods.

This article reports that cocaine injections can lead to skin lesions containing talc crystals at the sites of injection.

In this case study, the researchers reported a rare incidence of bilateral hyperpigmented macules on a patient's lower legs, possibly due to cyclophosphamide, suggesting that this chemotherapy drug may directly stimulate hair follicles to cause skin discoloration.

This case report describes Rumpel-Leede phenomenon in a patient without underlying conditions, occurring after pneumatic compression for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis, with spontaneous resolution upon stopping compression.

Different sports can cause specific skin conditions that need proper diagnosis and treatment.

This study found that intradermal bleomycin injections induced dermal fibrosis in C57BL/6 mice, evidenced by hair follicle obliteration and dermal thickening, though no significant trends in gene expression were observed, indicating the need for further research to understand the link between fibrosis and dyschromia.

Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation causes dark skin patches and needs personalized treatment.

This study found that pigmented hair-thickening fibers improved the appearance of scalp alopecia in patients with epidermolysis bullosa, although they may cause pruritus and should be used cautiously.

This case study highlights that RDEB-mitis can be misdiagnosed in older adults, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis as it does not require immunosuppressive treatment.

This case report highlights the significance of alopecia totalis and knuckle pad hyperpigmentation as early indicators of azathioprine-induced myelosuppression and pancytopenia.

This study describes Pseudopelade of Brocq as a rare and enigmatic scarring alopecia characterized by irregular hair loss patterns on the scalp, requiring exclusion of other conditions like lichen planopilaris and discoid lupus erythematosus for a specific diagnosis.

This report describes two cases where pemphigus lesions developed at sites of cosmetic procedures, suggesting these treatments might trigger the disease and should be distinguished from other post-surgery complications.

This study defines two types of RDEB wounds, chronic open and recurrent, and finds that patient self-reports on wound size correlate well with investigator measurements when complemented by serial photography.

This study observed a fourfold increase in striae rubrae among people under 20 during the COVID-19 outbreak, potentially linked to lifestyle changes like sedentary behavior and weight gain.

This review examines the diagnostic significance of yellow and orange colors in skin lesions and concludes that their role is often underrepresented in the literature.

This abstract contains navigation and subscription information for JAMA Dermatology and reports no new clinical findings.

This study reported the case of a 30-year-old man with a bluish-grey scalp nodule that developed over a previously stable hairless plaque, revealing histopathological features consistent with epithelioid cell nests and spindle-shaped dermal melanocytes embedded in collagen.

This study reviewed 31 publications and found various adverse events in aesthetic procedures performed by biomedical professionals, including infections, skin burns, muscle dysfunction, emergency-required damage, deformities, and pain, highlighting the need to incorporate patient safety topics into their education.
