This study found that trichoscopy can differentiate between dermatomyositis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and systemic sclerosis by identifying distinctive features and may help assess disease activity.

In this case report, tofacitinib led to significant improvement in arthritis and partial improvement in alopecia for a female patient with systemic lupus erythematosus, with no observed adverse effects.

Follicular red dots can appear where alopecia areata and vitiligo overlap.

In this case report, a 31-year-old diabetic and obese male was diagnosed with follicular psoriasis, a rare variant characterized by scaly follicular papules, using dermoscopy and histopathology; treatment with topical mometasone furoate and oral levocetirizine led to complete lesion resolution within a month.

This case report describes two instances of rare linear alopecia on the occipital scalp, associated histologically with lupus erythematosus profundus, despite resembling alopecia areata clinically.

Recognizing specific scalp patterns can help diagnose hair loss linked to breast cancer spread.

This study found that trichoscopy, a non-invasive diagnostic method, may effectively differentiate between types of focal alopecia in the parietal area in adult women, indicating specific trichoscopic features for conditions like alopecia areata, discoid lupus erythematosus, and lichen planopilaris.

This study analyzed research trends in discoid lupus erythematosus, revealing shifting focus areas and highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between dermatology and other fields.

This study suggests that fatigue, joint pain, and light sensitivity are significant impacts for systemic lupus erythematosus patients, highlighting areas of unmet need in current treatment options.

This study demonstrated that litifilimab significantly reduced disease activity in cutaneous lupus erythematosus by Week 16, with improvements most notable in sunlight-exposed skin areas.

This study found that SLE patients with hair loss exhibited significant differences in the size and number of sebaceous glands compared to those without hair loss, but showed no histopathological differences between affected and unaffected scalp areas.

This resource outlines the focus areas of the Madridge Journal of Dermatology & Research and reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, white females with Ludwig I female pattern hair loss had significantly higher hair density on the occipital scalp area, while Asian females had significantly thicker hair diameters in both frontal and occipital areas.

This case report documents a 31-year-old woman with bullous SLE who showed improvement with high-dose parenteral steroids and dapsone, with ongoing follow-up due to potential kidney involvement.

The researchers reported that a 44-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus experienced complete hair regrowth after 9 months of thalidomide treatment for discoid lupus erythematosus-related alopecia.

This case report describes a 59-year-old woman diagnosed with frontal fibrosing alopecia, presenting with scarring alopecia and perifollicular erythematous papules.

The document explains different types of hair loss, their causes, and treatments, and suggests future research areas.

A man developed a rare skin condition and drug-induced lupus, highlighting the need for biopsy in diagnosing skin issues caused by sunlight.

This case report describes a 41-year-old man with preauricular and postauricular plaques unresponsive to topical treatments, with lab results indicating low-titer antibodies for Sjögren syndrome A and B.

In this study, white females with Ludwig I female pattern hair loss had higher hair density on the occipital scalp, while Asian females had thicker hair diameters in both frontal and occipital areas.

This study found that the Cutaneous Lupus Disease Area and Severity Index (CLASI) is correlated with both physician-assessed and patient-reported outcomes in cutaneous lupus erythematosus, particularly highlighting concerns about body image in visible areas.

This study suggests that damage to stem cells in the bulge region of hair follicles may contribute to scarring in chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus.

In this review, the authors report that tacrolimus ointment shows promise for expanding its use to a variety of skin conditions, beyond its current approval for atopic dermatitis, by analyzing clinical experiences of its application for rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and other dermatoses.

This study found that lupus discoid lesions on the scalp are more common in females and are associated with a higher incidence of other autoimmune diseases compared to lesions in other areas.

This case study highlights a 36-year-old woman with alopecia areata who experienced near complete hair regrowth after intralesional triamcinolone acetonide; further investigation revealed a systemic lupus erythematosus diagnosis.

This study classified scars in discoid lupus erythematosus patients into six types based on anatomical location and morphology, suggesting early identification might influence more aggressive treatment strategies.

This study observed that trichoscopy of long-lasting lesions in a chronic stage revealed specific features such as absence of follicular openings, cicatricial patches, and thick arborizing vessels.

In this cross-sectional study, both follicular lichen planus and discoid lupus erythematosus were identified as common causes of scarring alopecia, affecting young people with a more favorable prognosis for hair regrowth in discoid lupus erythematosus compared to follicular lichen planus.

This study aimed to document and compare the prevalence and characteristics of hair loss in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, noting the differences in trichoscopic and histopathologic evaluations between those with and without alopecia. Results are not reported.

This study suggests that the patchy thickening and reddish discoloration in rabbit skin during the hair cycle may be due to large anagen-phase hair follicles compressing the dermis and increased blood vessels causing redness.
