In this case report, a 40-year-old woman with folliculitis decalvans exhibits symptoms like itchy papules and patchy hair loss, illustrating the importance of distinguishing this condition from similar scarring alopecias for appropriate treatment.

In this study, researchers observed that Folliculitis decalvans diagnoses were often delayed, with severe cases linked to hidradenitis suppurativa and Staphylococcus aureus infection, and highlighted the need for better dermatological training to reduce these delays.

In this case series, the authors reported effective hair regrowth and resolution of symptoms in three pediatric patients with folliculitis decalvans following treatment with a combination of antibiotics, retinoids, dapsone, and corticosteroids.

This article discusses the proposed role of immunologic responses to staphylococcal superantigens in folliculitis decalvans and reports no clinical results; treatment should be tailored to the disease's severity.

This review discusses the challenge of managing folliculitis decalvans, agreeing that treatment aims to stop inflammation and hair loss but noting that achieving results is difficult and may require long-term therapy.

This review critically examines Forensic DNA Phenotyping, highlighting high accuracy in predicting certain traits but also legal and ethical challenges, particularly around regulatory fragmentation and issues of genetic privacy.

In this report, the European Medicines Agency confirmed in 2025 that finasteride, a drug used to treat hair loss in men, is linked to suicidal thoughts, a concern previously raised by patient advocacy groups.

This review highlights how the development of forensic DNA phenotyping systems like IrisPlex, HIrisPlex, and HIrisPlex-S has advanced criminal investigation by accurately predicting physical traits such as eye, hair, and skin color from DNA, thereby improving the precision and relevance of forensic applications.

In this study, analysis of electronic health records suggested that patients taking semaglutide were significantly less likely to experience suicidal ideation compared to those on non-GLP-1 obesity or diabetes medications.

This paper discusses forensic DNA phenotyping, emphasizing its ability to infer visible traits from biological samples without reference samples, but notes ethical and legal concerns related to its use.

This review discusses various methods of light-based hair removal and reports no new clinical results, highlighting advances in laser and intense pulsed light technologies used for targeting hair pigmentation.

This case report describes a 54-year-old woman with familial dyskeratotic comedones who experienced slight improvement in her skin lesions after three months of treatment with topical retinoids and urea cream.

This study reviews the psychological side effects of finasteride, noting a potential association between 5-AR inhibitors and increased depressive symptoms, but emphasizes that the causal link to suicidal ideation remains unclear; the authors recommend mental health screenings and close monitoring for patients starting this medication.

This study found that digoxin treatment was significantly associated with anemia adverse reactions in patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure, suggesting a need for caution in its clinical use.

Topical dapsone gel reduced flare-ups in folliculitis decalvans without side effects.

This review summarizes 25 small molecule drugs with in vitro and in vivo data for COVID-19 treatment, highlighting their structural diversity and potential to guide future antiviral discovery.

The EADV Task Force on Hair Diseases reviewed existing literature and clinical experience to propose diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations for managing folliculitis decalvans, highlighting oral antibiotics, glucocorticosteroids, isotretinoin, and various systemic and topical therapies as key options for managing inflammation and preventing further hair loss.

This review found that current forensic DNA phenotyping panels for biogeographical ancestry and visible traits face significant limitations due to inconsistencies in terminology, genetic understanding, and genotyping technologies, highlighting the need for harmonization and further research.

This review discusses existing forensic DNA phenotyping panels for biogeographical ancestry and externally visible characteristics and highlights major technical limitations, including terminology issues, genetic knowledge gaps, and technological debates; it reports no new results.

This pharmacovigilance study found that certain systemic medications, including finasteride, bortezomib, and dupilumab, were disproportionately reported in association with eyelid disorders like blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, and chalazia, suggesting these drugs may contribute to these conditions though benefits might still outweigh the risks.

In this study, researchers reported that while systemic antibiotics are often chosen first for treating severe folliculitis decalvans, they have a high discontinuation rate, suggesting an urgent need for more effective immunomodulatory treatments.

Minoxidil solution and foam both increase hair growth, but the solution works better than the foam.
