The study reported a 7.80% prevalence of scarring alopecia in Chinese SLE patients and identified several risk factors, including mucocutaneous lesions and high disease activity, while renal and cardio-respiratory involvements were negatively associated with it.

This study found that 7.80% of Chinese patients with systemic lupus erythematosus experienced scarring alopecia, with certain disease characteristics and treatments influencing its prevalence.

This study reported that 7.80% of systemic lupus erythematosus patients experienced scarring alopecia, with mucocutaneous lesions and certain autoantibodies identified as risk factors, and some organ involvements and immunosuppressants as protective factors.

Polarized microscopy is a quick and free method to correctly identify types of hair loss.

This review discusses the mechanisms of wound healing and excessive scarring, highlighting the importance of understanding these processes for developing new therapies to prevent fibrotic scarring in large skin wounds.

In this systematic review, oral minoxidil was found to be a safe and effective treatment for androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, with additional benefits for female pattern hair loss and other types of alopecia, although common side effects included hypertrichosis and postural hypotension.

This case report describes a 22-year-old woman initially suspected of alopecia areata, whose scalp lesions were ultimately diagnosed as discoid lupus erythematosus after histopathological analysis.

This study reviewed the etiology, mechanisms, and treatments of scarring alopecias and noted that early and accurate identification is crucial due to overlapping features among different types, making differential diagnosis challenging.

This review discusses the mechanisms, causes, and treatment options for telogen effluvium, noting acute cases often resolve by addressing causative factors, while chronic forms remain challenging to treat; recent causes include post-hair transplantation, vitamin D deficiency, and COVID-19.

This study reported that in mouse models, deletion of EGFR resulted in stem cell hyper-proliferation followed by apoptosis, leading to scarring alopecia, and implicated EGFR's role in maintaining hair follicle quiescence and immune privilege during inflammation.

This article discusses skin lesions in chronic graft-versus-host disease and highlights the importance of coordinated care between haematologists and dermatologists for effective management; it presents no new clinical results.

This study found that low serum ferritin levels were significantly associated with chronic telogen effluvium in adult menstruating females, suggesting that serum ferritin is a better indicator of low iron stores than hemoglobin levels in this condition.

This article discusses primary cicatricial alopecia, highlighting the need for early and precise diagnosis to effectively manage and treat these complex inflammatory hair disorders, but presents no new clinical results.

This study suggests that damage to stem cells in the bulge region of hair follicles may contribute to scarring in chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus.

In this study, researchers found that disrupting EGFR signaling in mice led to increased inflammation and hair follicle damage but that inhibiting the JAK-STAT1 pathway could restore hair growth and skin function.

This review discusses the range of long-term complications, including mucocutaneous, ocular, and psychological sequelae, for survivors of Stevens–Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, but reports no new clinical results.

Erlotinib may cause scarring hair loss.

This study suggests that the presence and arrangement of plasmacytoid dendritic cells can help distinguish chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus from other types of scarring alopecia.

This review discusses histologic findings in alopecia and emphasizes the importance of understanding normal follicular anatomy and cycles in transverse sections, without reporting new results.

This report describes a case of lichen planopilaris potentially triggered by chronic scalp trauma from break dancing, emphasizing the need for careful examination to differentiate it from androgenetic alopecia.

This letter discusses three plasmacytoid dendritic cell-related parameters that may help differentiate lupus alopecia from lichen planopilaris, but it reports no new study results.

This review discusses the mechanisms and grading challenges of acne vulgaris, highlighting the need for better treatment strategies and reports no new experimental results.

This article reports a case of erosive pustular dermatosis on the scalp of an elderly male, highlighting its complex diagnosis and successful treatment with high-potency topical corticosteroids.

This case report describes a 41-year-old man with preauricular and postauricular plaques unresponsive to topical treatments, with lab results indicating low-titer antibodies for Sjögren syndrome A and B.

This review article proposes a possible skin-gut-fibrosis axis, suggesting that gut microbial metabolites may influence the development of keloids and hypertrophic scars by affecting immune responses and fibrotic signaling pathways, although direct evidence in skin fibrosis remains limited.

This case study presents what is reportedly the first association of Graham Little-Lassueur Syndrome with chronic hepatitis C, observed in a 47-year-old female patient.

This article reviews lichen planopilaris, a chronic scarring alopecia, and explores recent treatment developments, but it reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews acne keloidalis in young black men, describes its clinical and histopathological characteristics, and highlights surgical therapy approaches despite the uncertain etiology of the condition.

This case report describes two men with acne keloidalis nuchae who experienced successful outcomes with excision followed by secondary intention healing, resulting in good cosmetic results and minimal recurrence.

The researchers reported a rare case of invasive cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the scalp extending into bone and dura mater, successfully treated with surgery and skin flap repair, without metastasis observed at three months.
