This review discusses the unique characteristics and taxonomy of Malassezia yeasts and examines current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in veterinary medicine; it reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, demodicoses were found to be relatively common among immunocompetent patients, with a notable overlap with papulopustular rosacea.

This study found that the thickness of hair is the dominant factor in resistance to rupture when exposed to dermatophytes, with women's and children's hair being less resistant than men's and adults'.

This study found that dermoscopy combined with calcium fluorescent white staining effectively aided in the early diagnosis and treatment evaluation of tinea capitis by highlighting specific hair changes and fluorescent patterns associated with different dermatophyte infections in a sample of 20 patients.

This case report describes a 5-year-old girl with an extensive Microsporum canis scalp infection, highlighting griseofulvin as the preferred treatment and noting corticosteroids' benefit in severe inflammatory cases.

In this study, itraconazole was reported to effectively alleviate clinical symptoms in patients with recalcitrant Trichophyton rubrum infections, though toenail infections often recurred, indicating the need for further research on long-term efficacy and safety.

The boy had a fungal scalp infection called kerion, which was cured with oral antifungal medication.

In this study, researchers conducted a large genome-wide association meta-analysis and found 30 significant genetic loci linked to the risk of dermatophytosis, shedding light on the roles of keratin biology, skin barrier defects, immune dysfunction, and obesity in the disease.

Treat scalp and beard fungal infections early with oral antifungal medication and sometimes topical therapy, avoiding unnecessary allergy tests and surgery.

This case report identifies a 13-year-old boy with disseminated tinea incognito, emphasizing the importance of considering fungal infections when red and scaly lesions persist despite corticosteroid treatment.

In this study, Trichophyton tonsurans and Microsporum canis were identified as the primary causes of tinea capitis, with terbinafine treatment showing the highest cure rate. Non-commercial kits surpassed real-time PCR commercial kits in specificity and sensitivity for diagnosis.

In this case study, the researchers diagnosed a young male cat with dermatitis caused by a fungal infection, specifically identifying Penicillium and Aspergillus species, and observed improvement in symptoms following a two-week treatment with grisofulvin, chlorphenamine maleate, and fish oil shampoo.

Dermoscopy can help diagnose tinea capitis in children by looking for comma hairs, black dots, and broken hairs with white bands.

This review highlights Malassezia's dual role as both protective and pathogenic within the hair follicle ecosystem, noting its involvement in skin disorders and potential cancer progression, and calls for further studies to develop targeted treatments for related conditions.

Different sports can cause specific skin conditions that need proper diagnosis and treatment.

In this study, the authors emphasize the importance of not ignoring the partial presence of comma or harpin hairs and black spots when identifying early lesions of tinea capitis, which may initially be overlooked due to their small size.

This case report describes an adult female with concurrent mycosis fungoides and papillary dermal elastolysis, highlighting the importance of considering rare presentations in differential diagnoses.

This study concluded that topical ketoconazole is effective and safe for treating superficial fungal infections and has potential for new dermatologic uses despite concerns over oral administration's adverse effects.

This study found that Trichophyton spp. was the most common dermatophyte affecting dogs with alopecia and pruritus in Thrissur district, Kerala, being identified in 68% of cases.

This study observed that 2.5% of patients with mycosis fungoides or Szary syndrome experienced alopecia, predominantly within skin lesions, with scalp metastases from other cancers also potentially causing hair loss, highlighting the diagnostic value of trichoscopy in differentiating alopecia types.

In this study, dermatophytosis in cattle around Parbhani was found to have a prevalence of 17.2%, with Clove oil treatment showing the quickest recovery in 7 days.

This study suggests that Malassezia spp. overgrowth may contribute to pruritus and skin lesions in allergic cats, with antifungal treatments alone providing substantial improvements.

In this case report, a woman's Majocchi's granuloma, linked to her pet guinea pig infected with Trichophyton mentagrophytes, improved significantly with a combination of terbinafine and ketoconazole cream.

This review discusses seborrheic dermatitis and pityriasis sicca but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses common psychodermatologic conditions and provides practical diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations but reports no new results; the authors emphasize the challenge of treating patients who lack insight into their psychiatric symptoms.

This study confirmed that a rare dermatophyte infection in a young cat was caused by Arthroderma gypseum, identified using molecular analyses.

This study found that horses with inflammatory skin diseases had a higher prevalence of surface cocci and fungal poroconidia compared to those with healthy skin.

This article reviews the clinical challenges in diagnosing tinea capitis due to its varying symptoms and reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the need for careful differential diagnosis.
