This study reports that familial frontal fibrosing alopecia was diagnosed earlier in premenopausal women compared to postmenopausal women, though long-term outcomes remain uncertain without a definitive treatment.

This study found that certain T cell-associated genes were upregulated in dogs with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome and vitiligo, suggesting a shared immunopathogenesis with humans.

This study suggests a potential role for systematic scalp examinations in first-degree relatives of patients with pattern cicatricial alopecia.

This study evaluated the use of Jet Peel technology, a non-invasive hydroporation method, in treating androgenetic and telogen effluvium alopecia, finding improvements in hair growth and thickness, and a reduction in associated scalp conditions.

This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib for treating severe alopecia areata in five patients, finding that three responded favorably with mild side effects, supporting its potential use based on existing research.

This study observed that recurrent alopecia areata patients with salmon patches on the nape often had severe disease, particularly alopecia areata ophiasis, which was more common in females.

This article discusses androgenetic alopecia, emphasizing its prevalence across age groups and noting that it is the most common cause of hair loss in adolescents, but provides no new clinical results.

This report describes four cases of patchy, non-scarring alopecia areata that spared gray hairs and affected only pigmented hairs.

This study found that all 26 patients with specific skin lesions, primarily young females, were confirmed to have iron deficiency anemia after ruling out other possible causes such as zinc deficiency and pellagra, highlighting the importance of considering anemia as a diagnosis in such cases.

This study suggests that finasteride may be a safe and effective treatment for androgenetic alopecia in transgender men undergoing testosterone replacement therapy, though it may influence testosterone's effects.

In this case series, restarting Janus kinase inhibitors after pregnancy led to hair regrowth in women with alopecia areata, but highlights the lack of standardized treatment guidelines for those planning pregnancy.

This paper discusses four rare causes of hyperandrogenism in women, emphasizing the importance of detailed biochemical testing and invasive diagnostic tools when imaging fails to identify ovarian tumors.

This study suggests that tetracycline may be more effective for treating lichen planopilaris than previously thought, alongside topical high-potency and intralesional corticosteroids.

This study reports that oral spironolactone may be a useful and low-cost first-line treatment for hidradenitis suppurativa in women, with relatively few side effects.

This retrospective review found that while intralesional corticosteroids provided symptomatic improvement for lichen planopilaris, hydroxychloroquine with topical corticosteroids led to higher remission rates but did not result in visible hair regrowth.

This study suggests that deep dermatophytosis is a distinct condition occurring in immunocompromised patients, characterized by nodules, an indolent course, and absence of follicular invasion, which resolves completely with systemic antifungal treatment.

Adalimumab improved folliculitis decalvans in most patients.

This case series highlights the real-world challenges and experiences of US healthcare providers using pegvaliase for phenylketonuria treatment, emphasizing patient education on adverse events and dietary changes, and tailored titration schedules, while reporting that most patients achieved treatment efficacy despite initial adverse events.

This case series found that patients with the NUDT15 415C>T variant experienced severe azathioprine toxicity, suggesting genotype-based dosing could reduce adverse effects.

In this prospective study, dabrafenib and trametinib were associated with various skin side effects, including papillomas, hyperkeratosis, and acneiform eruptions in patients with metastatic melanoma.

This case series observed that macular changes from popper use can resolve completely after cessation, even in individuals with chronic use.

This case series found that low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation may benefit some patients with trichotillomania, although one of five patients experienced worsening symptoms after treatment.

Tofacitinib may effectively treat folliculitis decalvans.

In this study, researchers reviewed cases of EGFR inhibitor-induced folliculitis decalvans and reported the first known occurrences associated with afatinib in three female NSCLC patients, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and management to improve patient quality of life.

This study observed that trichoscopic changes associated with EGFRI treatment include pili torti and asymmetric hyperpigmented fusiform widening, along with dermoscopic skin manifestations such as scale and branching vessels.

This case series describes three siblings with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, highlighting variations in their clinical presentations.

This case series highlights that diagnosing ovarian Leydig cell tumors can be challenging, and expert sonography is crucial for accurate identification, as imaging modalities like CT, MRI, and PET-CT may fail to detect them.

This study reported severe and persistent skin reactions, including inflammation and scarring, after intradermal injections of unregulated exosome-based products, highlighting potential risks in aesthetic dermatology.
