This systematic review found that topical 5% minoxidil significantly increased nail growth in healthy individuals after one month, and showed an 81% clinical response in onychomadesis patients after 12 months, without serious adverse effects, although more extensive trials are needed to confirm long-term outcomes.

This systematic review found that topical minoxidil significantly increases nail growth in healthy individuals and patients with nail disorders, showing a promising mean increase in growth rate and clinical response compared to controls, without serious adverse effects reported.

This systematic review found that topical minoxidil may safely enhance nail growth, with significant increases observed in healthy individuals and those with nail disorders, although larger trials are necessary to confirm its long-term efficacy.

This retrospective study found that intravenous iron therapy significantly improved hair loss in most patients with iron deficiency, achieving complete resolution in 60%, partial improvement in 36%, and persistent hair loss in only 4% after three months.

This study used an ex vivo human skin model to show that tropical conditions disrupt skin homeostasis, resulting in epidermal thickening and junctional flattening, and found that Kombucha tea extract may help preserve skin structure under such stress.

In this case report, a 42-year-old woman with hypothyroidism showed improvement in symptoms like fatigue and hair loss after following an Ayurvedic regimen including Kunjal Kriya, Yoga, and diet changes alongside her regular medication, though further clinical studies are recommended to validate these findings.

In this study, the researchers developed a biomimetic multilayer composite scaffold combining a decellularized amniotic membrane, fibroblast-laden collagen gel, and epidermal stem cells, which healed full-thickness skin wounds more quickly and effectively by regenerating hair follicles without scarring compared to Moropicin ointment.

In this case report, a 71-year-old woman with severe hyperandrogenism and virilization revealed a bilateral ovarian steroid cell tumor, confirmed after adnexectomy, resulting in normalized testosterone levels and improved hirsutism post-surgery.

This study found that the MIRA technique, which customizes needle length and injection angle guided by ultrasound, improved structural and esthetic outcomes for cellulite treatment compared to standard methods.

This report presents two cases of Berardinelli–Seip syndrome, emphasizing the role of genetic analysis and comprehensive care in managing the variability and complications of this rare condition.

This study found trichoscopy to be a quick and effective method for diagnosing and monitoring tinea capitis in children, with improvements in trichoscopic features observed by week 2 and full recoveries confirmed mycologically by week 8.

In this report, the European Medicines Agency confirmed in 2025 that finasteride, a drug used to treat hair loss in men, is linked to suicidal thoughts, a concern previously raised by patient advocacy groups.

In this study, researchers reported that dermoscopic examination of eyebrow hairs can help in the early diagnosis of Netherton syndrome in children by detecting trichorrhexis invaginata, facilitating prompt counseling and care while awaiting genetic test results.

This study highlights a comprehensive approach for authenticating and assessing the quality of herbal medicines using a combination of physiological, morphological, and molecular techniques, including HPTLC, ICP-MS, UV spectroscopy, and DNA barcoding, to ensure the standardization of herbal medicinal products, particularly Eclipta alba.

This study found that minoxidil had the highest solubility in shea butter, stearic acid, and rosemary oil, suggesting these natural oils may improve drug loading and encapsulation efficiency in lipid nanocarrier formulations for potential hair growth applications.

This retrospective study reported that in HER-2-negative metastatic breast cancer patients, anlotinib combined with taxane/capecitabine showed superior disease control rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival compared to bevacizumab plus chemotherapy, with both treatments having tolerable safety profiles.

In this study, researchers found that overt hyperthyroidism was the most prevalent thyroid disorder among patients, especially in women, and it was characterized by classic symptoms like high pulse rate and weight loss, highlighting the importance of early identification and management to prevent complications.

This study observed that exosomes from adipose stem cells and dermal papilla cells altered the immune environment in hair follicles, promoting hair regrowth in mouse models and human follicle cultures.

The researchers reported that baricitinib treatment for at least 52 weeks reduced severe alopecia areata severity and improved psychological well-being and quality of life in study participants.

This review suggests that GLP-1 receptor agonists may improve various dermatologic conditions, but larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.

This pilot study found that using skin patting with iontophoresis to deliver dutasteride gel significantly improved hair density, shaft diameter, and pull test scores in men and postmenopausal women with treatment-resistant androgenetic alopecia, with participants reporting high satisfaction and no adverse events.

The study's findings on omega-6 and hair loss are unreliable.

In this case report, a 13-year-old boy was diagnosed with a rare variant of cutaneous sarcoidosis presenting as Lichen Planus Pigmentosus-like hyperpigmentation, highlighting the diagnostic challenges associated with identifying uncommon manifestations of this disease.

This case report highlights that macro-TSH, a rare condition causing falsely elevated TSH despite normal thyroid hormone levels, can lead to misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment; identifying TSH antibodies and fractionation chromatography can prevent incorrect management, as demonstrated in a 19-year-old patient.

This study suggests that lichen planopilaris should be considered as a potential diagnosis in African American women with scarring alopecia, often displaying an "arrowhead" distribution pattern, which may guide treatment strategies.

This study found that combining dermoscopy with reflectance confocal microscopy is more sensitive and specific than using either method alone for assessing vitiligo disease activity and treatment response. Additionally, specific characteristics observed via these techniques correlated with either good or poor treatment outcomes.

This study observed that among 120 patients recovering from COVID-19, severe diffuse hair loss typically began less than two months post-infection, with the majority of patients experiencing a severe degree of hair loss and positive hair pull tests, often alongside vitamin D deficiency.
