This narrative review reports that IL-17 and IL-23 inhibitors, while effective for psoriasis and other inflammatory diseases, can cause a variety of skin reactions that resemble primary dermatoses, highlighting the need for careful diagnosis and varied management strategies.

In this study, pediatric hair and scalp disorders were effectively diagnosed using trichoscopic and light microscopic examinations, demonstrating high agreement with clinical diagnoses and emphasizing their utility as reliable, non-invasive diagnostic tools in a hospital-based setting.

In this study, the researchers observed that gastrointestinal side effects, such as flatulence and abdominal discomfort, were more common in patients taking low-dose oral minoxidil, especially among males and those using concurrent vasodilators.

This review assessed trichoscopic findings in folliculotropic mycosis fungoides of the scalp, reporting features like milky-red globules and distinct vascular patterns, but noted the predominance of small studies and the need for larger research to validate trichoscopy's diagnostic utility for this condition.

This study found that while both microneedling-assisted methotrexate and triamcinolone acetonide treatments led to improvements in recalcitrant alopecia areata, methotrexate-treated areas had significantly better outcomes in terms of SALT score reduction, patient satisfaction, and relapse rates, suggesting its superior short-term efficacy.

This study suggests that autologous micrograft technology may be more effective than finasteride in promoting hair growth in patients with androgenetic alopecia.

This systematic review found that exosome-based therapies significantly improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkle depth, enhance hydration, and modulate pigmentation, with minimal adverse events reported across multiple studies. However, further clinical trials are necessary to confirm long-term efficacy and safety.

In this study, UVFD and sUVRD techniques revealed distinctive characteristics of GD lesions, suggesting that GD might be more common in younger individuals and females than previously thought, possibly due to underdiagnosis. Incorporating dermatoscopy in exams may help improve GD detection and management.

Spironolactone is safe for treating hair loss in women without causing low blood pressure.

In this study, researchers found that hair alterations such as frontal-occipital inversion in males and a high occipital hairline may aid in diagnosing the uncommon condition TRPS.

This study found that erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp is frequently misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma, highlighting the need for careful differentiation to avoid unnecessary treatments.

This study found that erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp is often misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma, highlighting the importance of biopsy for accurate diagnosis.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had significantly higher systemic immune-inflammation index levels compared to healthy controls, regardless of the disease's severity.

This study found topical finasteride and minoxidil both improved hair loss clinically and trichoscopically more effectively than spironolactone in women with female pattern hair loss.

This study observed that post-COVID-19 telogen effluvium is more common among those with anemia, but was not linked to the severity of the initial infection.

In this study, researchers identified four gene variants that may contribute to androgenic alopecia and vitiligo, proposing a novel di-genic inheritance model that could help guide genomic approaches for personalized treatment and early diagnosis.

This study found that among Pakistani patients with diffuse hair fall, a significant 79.17% had vitamin D3 deficiency, suggesting that early recognition and treatment of this deficiency may help reduce hair loss.

In this study, the authors evaluated 200 Egyptian children with focal non-cicatricial alopecia, finding that alopecia areata (42%) and tinea capitis (40.5%) were the most prevalent causes. Trichoscopy identified unique features for each condition, enhancing diagnosis and management.

The researchers recommend considering porokeratosis as a possible diagnosis for scalp lesions since accurate identification is crucial for management and new treatments like topical cholesterol/lovastatin show promising potential for treating porokeratosis.

This study found that trichoscopy is a valid and sensitive tool for diagnosing and evaluating eyebrow involvement in lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia.

In this study, researchers evaluated factors influencing alopecia areata recurrence and identified male gender and a family history of the condition as independent predictors for disease recurrence among the 100 patients analyzed.

In this study, researchers found that the peripilar sign in patients with androgenetic alopecia does not indicate perifollicular infiltrate but is more frequent in individuals with lighter skin types due to contrast with the skin.

In this review, the authors evaluated the potential of using the second to fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) as a predictor for androgenetic alopecia, suggesting future research directions but not reporting definitive results.

In this study, AMD was observed more frequently in AGA patients, and a higher monocyte/HDL ratio was associated with increased AMD severity, especially in men.

This study found that women with Female Pattern Hair Loss had lower serum BDNF levels, which correlated with higher stress and depression, suggesting BDNF as a potential marker for psychological impacts in these patients.

This study reported that low dose oral minoxidil may help treat persistent chemotherapy-induced alopecia, based on a retrospective case series involving 15 patients across multiple centers.

This study developed a support vector machine model using trichoscopic patterns to accurately classify androgenic alopecia severity, with an accuracy of 94.3% in training and 90.0% in test datasets.

In this study, hemoglobin levels were the only marker positively correlated with anagen hair ratios in patients with telogen effluvium, suggesting it may be a cost-effective initial test for management.

This study found that in female patients with COVID-19-related hair loss, diffuse hair loss and antinuclear antibody positivity might be linked to high antibody levels triggered by the infection.

This study found that injecting drug users attending an oral substitution therapy center often experience skin lesions, which negatively impact their psychosocial health and quality of life.
