The birth control pill containing ethinylestradiol and chlormadinone may help treat acne and other skin and hair conditions related to hormones.

This article is a letter discussing optical coherence tomography-assisted diagnosis of follicular keratosis of the chin and reports no new research findings.

This study found that sensor-controlled scalp cooling prevented visible hair loss in 53% of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, with greater hair density and absence of comorbidities enhancing its efficacy, also improving patients' quality of life without increasing scalp metastasis risk.

This study describes a distinct pattern of trichoscopic features associated with chemotherapy-induced alopecia and how these features evolve through different phases of chemotherapy treatment.

This source reports that clascoterone cream has been approved in the U.S. for treating acne vulgaris in patients aged 12 and older, suggesting it works by competing with dihydrotestosterone at androgen receptors to mitigate acne's effects.

This study found that while the macular, retinal nerve fiber layer, and retinal layers' thickness were similar between alopecia areata patients and controls, the choroidal thickness was significantly thicker in the alopecia areata group, suggesting potential inflammation-related changes.

This case report describes a 55-year-old woman with alopecia areata whose condition improved rapidly and did not recur after the surgical resection of a thymoma, suggesting a potential immunological link between alopecia areata and thymoma that warrants further investigation.

This study demonstrated that phosphatidylcholine liposomes can deliver calcein and melanin into hair follicles and shafts in mice without significant penetration into the dermis, epidermis, or bloodstream.

This study reports a unique case of coinheritance of BRCA2 and CYLD pathogenic variants in a man with metastatic malignant cylindroma, suggesting that recognizing such genetic profiles in rare conditions can provide new treatment options, including the potential use of therapies targeting BRCA deficiency.

This study found that reported stress and hair growth changes related to facial/body hair excess or scalp hair loss differ among ethnic gender minority groups, with black and other ethnic respondents experiencing more stress compared to Caucasians, particularly in relation to facial/body hair excess.

This case report describes a child with Gomez–Lopez–Hernandez syndrome, highlighting developmental challenges and medical interventions, yet noting academic success and participation in mainstream activities.

In this scoping review and meta-analysis, researchers found that patients with alopecia areata show a complex serum chemokine profile, predominantly involving Th1- and Th2-associated chemokines, suggesting that broader immunomodulatory strategies might address the diverse immune dysregulation observed in the disease.

In this study, reduced hair density, diameter, and follicle miniaturization were key characteristics of female pattern hair loss in Southern Chinese women, with occipital and temporal sites also affected.

Thick scalp melanoma can be hard to diagnose because it often looks like other skin conditions.

This study observed distinct differences in hair characteristics between individuals with cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome and Costello syndrome, highlighting the role of the RAS pathway in these RASopathies and aiding clinical diagnosis.

This case report describes a 10-year-old girl with monilethrix, detailing hereditary autosomal dominant traits and distinctive nodular hair shaft abnormalities observed in her family through clinical examination and microscopic analysis.

This case study reports that selenium shampoo, bacterial infection with trichomycosis axillaris, and possibly strongyloides larvae may have contributed to acquired hair shaft abnormalities resembling trichorrhexis nodosa in two patients.

This case study highlights that breast cancer may present as alopecia refractory to usual treatments, indicating the need for consideration of underlying malignancy in such cases.

Chemotherapy can cause significant hair thinning and changes in hair texture, while tamoxifen has a smaller effect.

This case study describes a rare instance of subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus on the chin, highlighting the effectiveness of using dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy for accurate diagnosis and monitoring, which led to significant lesion improvement with corticosteroid and immunomodulatory treatment over 19 weeks.

In this study, a rare case of a trichilemmal cyst in a 6-year-old's upper eyelid was observed; it was identified through histopathological examination after excision, highlighting the importance of considering trichilemmal cysts in atypical pediatric eyelid swellings.

This study found that dermatology consultations in a tertiary care center led to treatment changes in most cases, especially for complex conditions potentially linked to systemic disease.

This study observed that 2.5% of patients with mycosis fungoides or Szary syndrome experienced alopecia, predominantly within skin lesions, with scalp metastases from other cancers also potentially causing hair loss, highlighting the diagnostic value of trichoscopy in differentiating alopecia types.

This case report introduces 'onycholemmal carcinoma' as a designation for a slowly growing malignant tumor of the nail bed epithelium in a 69-year-old male, with no recurrence or metastasis observed over four years after treatment.

Dermoscopy quickly and accurately diagnosed a rare hair disorder in a 12-year-old girl.

This study found variable outcomes in hair loss treatment with autologous cell-based therapy using DSC cells, with certain gene markers showing inconsistent correlations with treatment efficacy.

This report details a case of a 3-year-old child with Clouston syndrome, a rare inherited disorder affecting nails, skin, and hair, highlighting the need for supportive management due to the absence of treatment options.

This letter to the editor raises the possibility of a new medical entity characterized by symptoms such as poikiloderma, hyperpigmentation, alopecia, malformed bones, lymphedema, and decreased cortisol, but provides no clinical results.

Transgender women on estrogen therapy can develop melasma and need proper skin care.

This review discusses Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, highlighting a relatively mild case and suggesting that it may be a more benign and possibly reversible condition with treatment, but reports no new clinical results.
