This article reviews various types of primary cicatricial alopecias and emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis to improve management strategies, particularly detailing remaining lymphocytic forms and expanding on neutrophilic and mixed types.

This review found that infliximab, golimumab, and some forms of radiotherapy significantly improved nail psoriasis compared to controls, although they could have serious adverse effects and are not commonly used specifically for nail issues.

In this retrospective study at a New Delhi children's hospital, the authors found that pediatric skin diseases were most commonly infections and infestations, with bacterial infections and scabies leading, followed by eczemas.

This study found that the subtilisin protease Sub3 from Microsporum canis is essential for adherence to the feline epidermis but is not necessary for invading epidermal structures.

This study found that light stimulation of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells in the eyes can activate hair follicle stem cells through a neural circuit involving the sympathetic nervous system.
