This article reviews the clinical features, pathogenesis, and treatment strategies for Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia, emphasizing the need for enhanced understanding and early diagnosis, but reports no new research findings.

This policy brief reports that post-drug syndromes like Post-Finasteride Syndrome are largely overlooked in current pharmacovigilance systems, which prioritize acute drug reactions, resulting in inadequate recognition and management of persistent medication-induced conditions.

This case report describes a flap advancement technique following skin expansion as a successful method to address primary essential cutis verticis gyrata, preserving hair growth and improving cosmetic outcomes.

This study reported that applying a cream with 5% vitamin C reduced dermatoporosis-related purpura, suggesting the condition may be linked to vitamin C deficiency.

CCCA affects Black men too, with a genetic link found in the PADI3 gene.

This study identified a novel I268T mutation in the vitamin D receptor that reduces its function, contributing to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, and found that a potent vitamin D analog could improve receptor function.

Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) is a useful tool for studying how drugs interact with skin and diagnosing skin disorders, despite some limitations.
