Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair growth, and pregabalin effectively treats neuropathic pain.

This study found a significant discordance between clinical symptoms and dermatoscopic signs with histopathological inflammation in patients with LPP and AFF, affecting diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

African Americans lack knowledge about laser hair removal safety, Nd:Yag laser treatment is effective with high satisfaction, pressure during surgery can cause hair loss, and treating ovarian inflammation may help with alopecia areata.

Treating ovarian-related inflammation may help hair regrowth in women with alopecia areata.

This review discusses advances in understanding tickling sensations and proposes that knismesis hypersensitivity in autism spectrum disorder may be due to impaired sensory integration.

This study observed that electrical stimulation of specific mechanoreceptive afferents in the orofacial region can evoke sensations consistent with their response properties, while others may require multiple afferents to access perceptual levels.

This review discusses the characteristics, potential triggers, and challenges in diagnosing and treating sensitive scalp, reporting no new clinical results, and noting the need for further investigation.

This case report described how peripheral nerve stimulation provided significant pain relief and reversal of dermatological symptoms for a female patient with complex regional pain syndrome after conventional treatments failed.

This article discusses topical minoxidil-induced paresthesia and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that in participants with notalgia paresthetica, 8 weeks of treatment with difelikefalin significantly improved itch intensity and increased the rate of strict complete response compared to placebo, starting as early as week 3.

Older adults may experience painful finger pitting due to nerve changes in aging skin, and treatments can help reduce symptoms.

In this study, fMRI results suggested that mechanical stimulation evoked a stronger prickle sensation comprising both pain and itch on hairy skin compared to glabrous skin.

This symposium discussed recent advances in understanding skin as a sensory organ, emphasizing the interactions between itch, pain, and touch pathways and highlighting potential therapeutic targets.

In this study, trypsin digestion was found to be a faster and more efficient method than the explant technique for extracting bulge-derived keratinocytes from adult scalp biopsies.

A 54-year-old man with painful skin blisters and fever was diagnosed with Sweet syndrome and successfully treated with corticosteroids.

This study found histopathological evidence of hypertrophy in nerve endings that may explain the cutaneous neurosensory symptoms in some long COVID-19 patients.

In this case report, a 59-year-old woman experienced burning sensations and developed atrophic, hypopigmented, ivory papules and plaques on her palms and soles over three years, which worsened after walking for extended periods.

This study reported that sensitive scalp symptoms, including trichodynia, are frequently found in hair loss patients, particularly among those with telogen effluvium and alopecia areata.

This study found that hyperpigmented skin changes resembling Schamberg’s purpura occur in areas affected by CRPS and can also appear on mirror-image locations of unaffected limbs, potentially improving with the condition's treatment.

This case study reports a potential link between ichthyosis and scalp paresthesia, noting that fluocinolone, a synthetic corticosteroid, was effective in reducing paresthesia episodes, suggesting its possible role in the symptomatic treatment of this condition.

Itch is a common symptom in patients with chronic venous insufficiency, often accompanied by burning and pain.

This study found that spinal strychnine enhances low threshold tactile responses in cat dorsal horn neurons, which may mirror pain states in humans that are less responsive to opioid treatments.

This study observed that methylene blue staining and zinc iodide-osmium tetroxide techniques effectively revealed anatomical details of intraepidermal nerve fibre endings in the rat's mystacial pad, suggesting their potential role in mechanoreception.

In this study, researchers found that patients who previously had hair restoration surgery by a different surgeon were more likely to experience postoperative hyperesthesia.

This study found that the medication dyclonine has a potent inhibitory effect on the TRPV3 channel, effectively rescuing cell death and alleviating pruritus symptoms in a mouse model with gain-of-function TRPV3 mutations, suggesting potential for treating skin inflammation.

This study found that the opioid system, particularly via the delta opioid receptor, broadly regulates cutaneous mechanosensation, including touch, and suggests targeting this receptor could alleviate injury-induced mechanical hypersensitivity.

This study observed that while dexamethasone-cyclophosphamide pulse therapy is relatively free from hypertension and diabetes compared to conventional steroids in pemphigus patients, it frequently causes generalized weakness and flushing.

In this study, researchers found that the bioactive lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate and its receptor, S1PR3, are essential for regulating mechanical pain sensitivity in mice.

Using a vibrating device during injections can help reduce pain.

This study estimates that approximately 230,000 tactile afferent fibers innervate the human body's skin, with varying densities across different regions correlating with spatial acuity and hair follicle density.
