This case report documents a patient experiencing paradoxical depigmentation of the periocular skin after one year of using latanoprost, a finding not previously associated with this medication.

This review discusses various surgical techniques for vitiligo repigmentation, noting that suction blister and split-thickness skin grafting have the highest success rates according to previous analysis, but reports no new results.

In this study, researchers found that punch grafting was more effective than follicular hair transplantation for treating stable vitiligo; however, follicular hair transplantation was found to be cosmetically preferable for exposed areas like the face due to fewer side effects.

This case report documents an unusual instance of follicular vitiligo in a young woman, characterized by selective hair depigmentation on the forearms, distinctive dermoscopic and Wood's lamp findings, and histological evidence suggesting functional impairment rather than complete loss of follicular melanocytes.

This case report highlights a 40-year-old Indian male diagnosed with follicular vitiligo, presenting as graying hair and depigmented patches, and emphasizes the importance of distinguishing this rare variant from similar conditions like alopecia areata due to its unique presentation.

This article discusses the potential involvement of hair follicle melanocytes in follicular vitiligo, noting a pattern of depigmentation centered on follicles and supported by inflammatory infiltrates, without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that topical application of triiodothyronine (T3) can induce the transition of hair follicles from the telogen to the anagen phase in mice and stimulate hair shaft growth in vitro.

This review discusses follicular and scarring disorders in skin of color and highlights the need for patient education and tailored therapeutic strategies, but does not report new clinical findings.

This study on a 30-year-old male reported that single-hair follicular unit transplant effectively repigmented a stable vitiligo patch, achieving complete pigmentation in 8 weeks with no recurrence after 6 months.

This letter to the editor discusses an observed case of hair repigmentation linked with etretinate therapy but reports no new research findings.

This case study describes an elderly woman with distinctive black hair patches and scalp pigmentation, but it does not provide a diagnosis or new findings.

In this pilot study, both microneedling and CO2 laser combined with hair transplantation and nbUVB demonstrated potential for inducing repigmentation in refractory palmar-plantar vitiligo, though further research is needed to ascertain their relative efficacy.

Combining PRP with follicular transplantation improves vitiligo treatment better than follicular transplantation alone.

This study found that puerarin, derived from Pueraria thunbergiana, may stimulate melanogenesis and prevent follicular depigmentation in a hair graying mouse model.

This study found that C. japonicum flower extract significantly increased melanin content and cellular activity in human melanocytes and may improve follicular depigmentation and vitiligo through cAMP signaling.

This study found that seven cases of cicatricial alopecia initially diagnosed as discoid lupus erythematosus were more consistent with lichen planopilaris based on histopathology.

This review discusses the early phases of melanomagenesis and the factors influencing melanoma cell variability and reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that women post-bariatric surgery may be at increased risk for dermatological signs of malnutrition during subsequent pregnancies, highlighting the need for dermatologists to recognize these early symptoms.

This case report describes two acute hair-related manifestations, alopecia areata and Marie Antoinette syndrome, observed in the same patient following COVID-19 infection.

Recent hair loss research shows some progress, especially in understanding male pattern baldness, but effective treatments for many types of hair loss are still lacking.

This study found that exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells helped preserve melanocyte function and mitigate stress-induced hair depigmentation in mice by activating the Nrf2-ARE antioxidant pathway under acute neurogenic oxidative stress.

In this study involving 13 patients with vitiligo-associated leukotrichia, minimal hair repigmentation was observed following treatment with fractional CO₂ laser and topical betamethasone, though the method was well tolerated, highlighting the need for further research to optimize treatment parameters.

This case report observed complete repigmentation of a stable vitiligo patch with body hair transplantation in a 28-year-old man, with no recurrence after 3 months.

This review highlights the varied therapeutic applications of punch-based techniques in dermatologic surgery, noting consistent evidence for follicular unit extraction in androgenetic alopecia, but more mixed results for scar treatment, vitiligo, and chronic wounds, warranting further standardized research.

This study analyzed gray hair, revealing that it differs from pigmented hair in follicular activity, oxidative balance, and structure, impacting coloring processes and necessitating adapted techniques to maintain hair quality.

In this study, a combined technique of mini-punch grafting and follicular hair transplant was used on five patients with stable hairline vitiligo, resulting in satisfactory repigmentation and hair regrowth within the hairline while preventing hair loss and achieving repigmentation outside it.

This review discusses the genetic and metabolic factors influencing hair pigmentation, as well as conditions leading to hypo- or depigmented hair, and reports no new experimental findings.

This study in a Lithuanian veterinary clinic observed diverse histomorphological skin changes in alopecic dogs caused by various rare diseases, including hyperkeratinization and pigmentation disorders.

This study found that the expression of CK 15 and CK 19 in vitiligo patients undergoing phototherapy was correlated with improved repigmentation, suggesting their potential as markers for stem cell stimulation.

This review highlights the expanding medical applications of follicular unit excision, suggesting it might be effective for conditions like chronic ulcers, axillary hyperhidrosis, bromhidrosis, vitiligo, and scar remodeling, although further research is needed.
