This report describes five cases of bitemporal alopecia areata with frontal hairline involvement, detailing their management strategies and highlighting potential differential diagnoses, but does not present new clinical results.

This study observed that frontal fibrosing alopecia also occurs in men, with clinical features and areas of involvement similar to those seen in women, but often affecting sideburns and facial hair.

This review discusses the potential of superficial cryotherapy as an effective and safe treatment for alopecia areata in eyebrows, with a proposed mechanism involving improved follicular nutrition, but reports no new clinical results.

This study surveyed dermatologists in Greece and Italy and found significant variability and challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of alopecia areata, including limited use of severity scores and diverse treatment approaches, particularly for special site involvement and chronic cases.

Bimatoprost can cause longer, thicker, darker eyelashes and eyebrows.

In this case study, the progression of alopecia universalis in a Japanese man was linked to the involvement of Th1 and Th17 cells, suggesting an autoimmune mechanism.

This paper presents a case of a young male with a family history, showing overlap between ulerythema ophryogenes and keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans, affecting both eyebrows and scalp with cicatricial patchy alopecia.

This study reviewed 18 postmenopausal women with frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting frontotemporal hairline recession and eyebrow loss, often treated with steroids, triamcinolone, and other medications.

In this study, researchers reported that oral isotretinoin effectively treated facial papules in frontal fibrosing alopecia, with histopathologic findings suggesting the involvement of elastic fibers and sebaceous glands in papule formation beyond perifollicular inflammation.

This case report details a 65-year-old woman who developed malignant melanoma in her right eye socket following previous eye trauma, treated by orbital exenteration.

This study of pilomatrixoma cases in children reveals that these benign tumors typically present as painless masses under the eyebrow and can be effectively treated with surgical excision, though rare rapid growth may occur.

In this study, transplanted hair follicles from different body sites showed changes in morphology and immune status, suggesting their ability to adapt and function in new recipient areas such as the scalp or eyebrows.

This study examined young Ukrainian men with alopecia areata and found that different severities of the condition were associated with distinct clinical and trichoscopic features, such as variations in hair loss, stress levels, and nail involvement, among others.

In this study, researchers reported significantly higher serum calprotectin levels in alopecia areata patients compared to controls and that these levels were associated with the disease's severity, type, duration, and nail involvement, suggesting calprotectin as a potential marker for inflammation in these patients.

This study found that alopecia areata patients consider more than 20% scalp hair loss, chronic duration, and involvement of additional body hair as indicators of severe disease impacting quality of life.

This genetic study identified a potential interval for the Marie Unna hypotrichosis gene but found no mutations in the nearby hr gene, suggesting its involvement remains unconfirmed.

This study found that IFN-γ plays a critical role in T cell activation and the pathogenesis of alopecia areata in C3H/HeJ mice.

This study found a high prevalence of beard and eyebrow alopecia in male patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, and suggests a potential link between hormonal imbalances and the condition.

Lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia are likely distinct diseases with different tissue involvement.

This study found that total serum IgE levels were elevated in patients with alopecia areata compared to controls, suggesting a possible involvement of IgE and Th2 cytokines in its pathogenesis.

This article presents a case of syphilitic alopecia in a man, where treatment with benzathine penicillin G led to dramatic hair regrowth and resolution of syphilitic lesions within three months.

In this case report, a 20-year-old woman exhibited progressive asymptomatic hair loss with a pattern inconsistent with alopecia areata or female pattern hair loss, showing areas of both extending and improving hair loss.

This article presents an overview of uncombable hair syndrome, emphasizing its clinical and molecular characteristics and noting systemic manifestations such as neuropsychiatric, ophthalmic, and cardiopulmonary issues.

This study observed that frontal fibrosing alopecia in postmenopausal women involves selective follicular inflammation, and finasteride treatment may slow disease progression, suggesting a potential androgen-related component.

This study reviewed clinical data from 60 patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia and found increasing prevalence and generally poor response to treatment, with the cause remaining unclear.

This study suggests genetic and clinical heterogeneity in keratosis pilaris atrophicans, with variations in inheritance patterns, severity, and response to treatment among 21 individuals observed.

This review highlights the challenges in treating alopecia areata, noting that current therapies often lead to relapse and have uncertain long-term effectiveness; it also points to potential future treatments such as JAK-STAT inhibitors and PRP.

In this study, researchers identified a novel and two previously reported pathogenic mutations in the HR gene associated with atrichia with papular lesions in five Pakistani families.

This study found that lichen planopilaris in men typically presents similarly to women, with a lower likelihood of nonscalp hair loss and a higher association with mucosal lichen planus and thyroid disease.

In this report, researchers described a 36-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia resistant to standard treatments, who showed significant improvement after six months on a combination of intralesional betamethasone and oral hydroxychloroquine, suggesting potential benefits of this therapy approach in managing the condition.
