This study found that combining topical calcipotriol with intralesional autologous PRP injection significantly reduced Severity of Alopecia Tool scores in patients with alopecia areata, more effectively than either treatment alone.

In this case study, researchers reported the first documented instance of malignant transformation of congenital triangular alopecia into basal cell carcinoma in a 48-year-old woman, underscoring the importance of assessing long-standing alopecic areas for malignancy.

A 2-year-old boy has a rare hair disorder causing brittle hair and hair loss, which may improve with age.

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 study, a 10-year-old boy with alopecia caused by infections with Microsporum audouinii and Microsporum canis was successfully treated with oral griseofulvine over two months, highlighting a rare co-infection.

Low-dose isotretinoin is effective for treating pediatric scarring alopecia.

The researchers observed that in cases of alopecia areata with atypical features, histopathological confirmation may be necessary, as trichoscopic clues like loss of follicle ostia and vellus hairs were common, while typical features such as exclamation mark hairs were not always present.

This case report highlights the importance of trichoscopy in diagnosing fibrosing alopecia in pattern distribution, distinguishing it from female pattern hair loss, and guiding effective treatment.

This prospective observational study investigated 200 patients with non-scarring alopecia, concluding that accurate classification combined with individualized treatment, including combination therapies, significantly improved outcomes over monotherapy with topical minoxidil.

In this case report, a 65-year-old woman was diagnosed with folliculotropic mycosis fungoides after experiencing scarring alopecia and intense pruritus, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis due to its aggressive nature.

In this case report, a 30-year-old woman with scalp demodicosis experienced resolution of itching, hair shedding, and facial lesions after six weeks of topical metronidazole, highlighting the importance of early trichoscopic diagnosis and treatment for Demodex mite infestations.

In this study, researchers observed that individuals with alopecia areata exhibited significant changes in scalp microbiota diversity and composition, which were linked to disease severity and inflammation markers, though it remains unclear if these microbial shifts are a cause or a result of hair loss.

This case study reports a young male with alopecia universalis experienced significant hair whitening following baricitinib treatment, highlighting the need for further research on JAK inhibitors' impact on hair pigmentation and their underlying mechanisms.

This review article explores the current use and evidence of stem cell therapy in dermatology, detailing its applications, benefits, and limitations across various skin disorders, while also addressing teledermatology's rise during COVID-19 and proposing its ongoing integration into healthcare delivery.

In this study, PRP combined with minoxidil was found to be more effective in improving hair counts in androgenetic alopecia patients compared to minoxidil alone or with dermaroller, showing significant improvements at both 3 and 5 months.

In this case report, researchers documented a 19-year-old male professional athlete with acquired trichorrhexis nodosa, noting environmental factors like chlorine exposure during swimming may have contributed to his condition, which improved after advice on hair care changes.

This review highlights the increasing use of trichoscopy, a noninvasive and well-tolerated diagnostic tool, to aid in the accurate diagnosis and management of various pediatric hair and scalp conditions, such as alopecia and other abnormalities.

This study offers a comprehensive overview of alopecia, detailing its various types, diagnostic approaches, and treatment options, including updated medical and procedural interventions such as Tofacitinib, PRP therapy, and microneedling, among others.

This source highlights that alopecia areata is a complex autoimmune disorder leading to patchy, nonscarring hair loss with variable treatment responses, reflecting unmet clinical needs. Advances in genetic research are improving understanding, yet current treatments often lead to persistent relapses.

In this report, the authors describe a case where a child developed alopecia areata after receiving the fifth dose of a rabies vaccine, suggesting that the vaccine may predispose to this autoimmune hair loss by affecting immune regulation.

In this study, platelet-rich plasma therapy was observed to provide better improvement in hair regrowth for alopecia areata patients than intralesional triamcinolone acetonide, as measured by lower SALT scores.

This review outlines a systematic approach for dermatologists to accurately diagnose hair loss disorders, emphasizing the importance of differentiating between scarring and non-scarring alopecia to guide appropriate treatment decisions.

This case report documented a 74-year-old female with alopecic patches and other skin issues during talquetamab therapy for multiple myeloma, suggesting that the drug may cause skin-related adverse effects due to reactivity to GPRC5D-expressing structures.

This study at B.J. Medical College and Civil Hospital highlighted an extensive range of nail disorders, with onychomycosis being the most common, and emphasized the importance of nails in diagnosing both dermatological and systemic conditions.

This case report observed alopecia universalis, a complete hair loss condition, in a patient during a clinical trial with the angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor sacubitril/alisartan, indicating that ARNI therapy might be associated with such cutaneous reactions.

More research is needed on CCCA in children, especially Black and Asian adolescents.

This study observed a high prevalence of severe markers among pediatric alopecia areata patients, identifying AA subtotalis as more frequent, with nail changes and various hair markers suggesting progression to severe forms.

This study found that Platelet Rich Plasma treatment may safely and effectively promote hair regrowth in patients with pattern hair loss, especially when combined with other topical drugs like finasteride and minoxidil.

This study observed that a tacrolimus solution (0.1%) applied to the scalp was effective and well-tolerated for treating inflammatory scalp conditions, with 72.7% of patients showing an excellent response after 2 months of treatment, which persisted after 6 months.
