This review concluded that near-infrared and red light photobiomodulation shows potential for certain ocular conditions like age-related macular degeneration and dry eye disease, but clinical evidence is still mixed and insufficient to establish it as a standard therapy.

In this review, the authors discuss various skin conditions linked to hyperandrogenism, such as acne and alopecia, with a focus on androgen-targeted therapies, suggesting these are generally more effective than non-androgen-targeted options.

In a case report, this study identified a new genetic variant in a six-year-old girl from Saudi Arabia with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, expanding the understanding of the genetic spectrum of this rare condition in the region.

This study found that restoring the skin microbiome significantly improved hair growth and skin condition in androgenic alopecia model mice by modulating the immune-inflammatory balance, highlighting the potential of bacterial-based therapies for hair loss.

This article suggests that scalp erythrasma caused by Corynebacterium minutissimum may be underdiagnosed and that oral antibiotics used for other conditions could reduce its risk.

This study highlights that azelaic acid, initially recognized for skin hypopigmentation, shows potential in treating various skin conditions due to its complex mechanisms, even though these are not yet fully understood, indicating a need for further research.

In this study, trichoscopy was found to be a valuable non-invasive tool for diagnosing scalp lesions, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and reducing the need for scalp biopsies by identifying specific trichoscopic features associated with conditions like psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and alopecia areata.

In this case report, a 68-year-old Caucasian woman with Brunsting-Perry pemphigoid experienced scarring alopecia, which was effectively managed using intralesional betamethasone and topical mometasone furoate, suggesting this rare condition may be underdiagnosed in scarring alopecia cases.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had significantly higher serum T3 and cortisol levels compared to healthy controls, although both remained within normal ranges, highlighting potential hormonal involvement in the condition. However, no significant differences were observed in T4 and TSH levels.

This review discusses the crucial role of sex hormones in maintaining and influencing skin health, suggesting ongoing research into hormonal treatments for skin conditions due to life stage changes.

This source reports that PCOS, a complex endocrinal condition, is characterized by hyperandrogenism, which leads to symptoms like hirsutism, acne, and alopecia; genetic factors and hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis disruption play significant roles in its development, but more research is needed to understand these mechanisms fully.

The authors reported a case of significant scalp edema accompanying lichen planopilaris in a middle-aged woman, suggesting a potential new variant of edematous scalp conditions as a reaction to scarring alopecia.

This report describes a patient with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia who lacked the usual hair growth issues, highlighting the challenge of diagnosing this condition due to atypical presentations and underscoring the need for awareness to improve management and future planning.
