In a meta-analysis of 210 hair tourniquet syndrome cases, this study reported that 44.2% involved the penis, 40.4% the toes, and 8.6% fingers, highlighting the condition's potential severity and underreporting, especially in infants and some adults with cognitive impairments.

This study reports that six women developed scleroderma while taking L-tryptophan and showed improvement after stopping the supplement and/or starting corticosteroid therapy.

This study found that the immunological characterization of ichthyoses as psoriasiform or atopic patterns could help improve treatment, highlighting the need for targeted therapies to address itch and skin inflammation.

This study found that the vermilion border and mucosa of the monkey lip have a dense sensory innervation, which correlates with their known tactile sensitivity.

This article discusses toxic epidermal necrolysis, highlighting its high mortality rate despite aggressive treatment, and notes controversy over using high-dose systemic corticosteroids as therapy.

In this study, pegylated interferon alfa-2b injections led to local cutaneous reactions, including cutaneous necrosis, in patients with hepatitis C and chronic myelocytic leukemia, requiring dose modifications or treatment withdrawal in some cases.

The researchers reported that among 100 patients undergoing chemotherapy, the most common self-reported side effects were lack of energy, altered taste, and loss of appetite, with a significant association between age and severity of side effects but no significant link to gender.

This correspondence describes two patients with both epidermolysis bullosa simplex, Dowling-Meara type, and loose anagen hair syndrome, an association not previously reported in the literature.

This study found that adult patients with Myotonic Dystrophy type 1 exhibited a higher prevalence of various morphofunctional, inflammatory, and proliferative skin disorders compared to healthy controls.

This study found that patient-reported outcomes revealed the persistence of neuropathy, insomnia, and nail changes in breast cancer patients beyond chemotherapy, emphasizing the importance of monitoring long-term adverse events.

This systematic review found that estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women leads to structural and symptomatic changes in genital and cutaneous tissues, with local estrogen therapy providing short-term benefits, while evidence for device-based treatments remains limited and requires larger trials.

This case report observed a dramatic improvement in a 15-year-old girl's pachyonychia congenita symptoms during chemotherapy for Ewing sarcoma, suggesting chemotherapy's potential role in managing hyperkeratotic conditions.

This study found high levels of anxiety, depression, and PTSD in dermatology patients one year after the February 6, 2023, earthquakes in Türkiye, with specific skin conditions like telogen effluvium and alopecia areata being more prevalent among those with psychological distress.

This review discusses the skin manifestations of endocrine diseases and reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the importance of recognizing these signs for early diagnosis.

The document concludes that detailed clinical descriptions of seven family cases help understand dominant dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa's symptoms and inheritance.

This case report describes a woman who developed toxic epidermal necrolysis, potentially linked to an etonogestrel contraceptive implant, suggesting the need for further research into such adverse reactions.

This source reviews the common skin-related side effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in treating endocrine cancers and emphasizes that proactive, multidisciplinary management can effectively control these adverse events without compromising cancer treatment efficacy.

This study found that the transcription factor Meis2 regulates the maturation and innervation of sensory neurons in mice, affecting their response to light touch.

SJS/TEN survivors often have severe, overlooked long-term physical problems that are not properly treated after leaving the hospital.

In this study, using EMLA cream did not adequately control pain during and after scalp PRP injections for androgenetic alopecia, with anxiety and younger age linked to higher pain levels.

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 suggests that hormonal receptor activity in skin regions undergoing mechanical stretching may influence extracellular matrix metabolism and the formation of SD, with variations in receptor functionality throughout lesion development stages.

In this study, researchers found that the glabrous skin of the rat forelimb contains sparse Meissner corpuscles and Merkel complexes, with more slowly adapting afferents in the palm and rapidly adapting afferents in the digit extremity.

This study by Moore et al. (2025) provides the first evidence linking C-tactile afferents in humans to hair follicles, showing that these nerve fibers respond to hair movement rather than skin deformation, adding complexity to the understanding of their role in emotion and touch.

In this study, researchers observed that knocking out KCNQ3 in mice increased firing frequencies in response to stimuli, particularly at slow mechanical indentation velocities, indicating a role in mechanosensory neuron sensitivity.

This study explored the dermatological phenomena associated with sports and clinical scenarios, detailing unique conditions like "Athlete's nodule," "Runner's toe," and "Swimmer's ear," along with their diagnostic features and management strategies, uncovering how sports activities inform dermatological terminology and practice.

This report documents the first known case of acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy potentially linked to pegylated interferon-alpha 2a in a woman undergoing treatment for chronic hepatitis C.

Hair dye with para-phenylenediamine can cause skin depigmentation.

This study found that patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 had higher numbers of nevi, dysplastic nevi, melanomas, and pilomatrixomas compared to age- and sex-matched controls.
