In this study of 40 dermatomyositis patients, most with moderate-severe disease at baseline improved over time in a polyphasic pattern, while those with mild disease often remained stable.

This study observed that using a 1064 nm Nd: YAG laser may stabilize hair loss and promote new growth in some females with frontal fibrosing alopecia, though individual results varied.

This study found that 10% carbamide peroxide significantly reduced acne lesions compared to a vehicle solution, suggesting it as an effective and safe alternative to benzoyl peroxide for treating mild to moderate acne.

This study found that a 10% carbamide peroxide solution significantly reduced acne lesions more effectively than a vehicle solution, suggesting it as a safe and effective alternative to benzoyl peroxide for treating mild to moderate acne.

Psoriasis patients experience moderate functional impairment related to disease severity and less satisfaction.

Hair and nail conditions can stabilize or improve over time, and new treatments show promise.

This review discusses the genetic and hormonal factors contributing to androgenetic alopecia in men and women, but reports no new clinical results; it highlights that the exact causes remain unknown.

This article discusses female pattern hair loss and explores potential causes beyond androgenic factors, reporting no new research findings.

This study reported that while various treatments for frontal fibrosing alopecia showed limited effectiveness, dutasteride most effectively stabilized the condition among patients at Duke University.

CTA is often mistaken for AA but doesn't respond to steroids and may require hair transplantation.

Contact dermatitis may speed up hair loss in some cases.

This review discusses the characteristics and management options for female pattern hair loss, highlighting the unclear role of androgens and the psychosocial impact, and reports no new clinical results.

Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage fibrosing alopecia in older women.

This study found that electrical epilation in organ-cultured human scalp skin perturbs hair follicles by causing inflammation, impairing melanin production, and possibly inhibiting post-epilation hair re-growth.

This article proposes a new classification system for cutaneous adnexal cysts based on their origin in the folliculo-sebaceous unit and sweat glands, aiming to clarify their categorization and origins.

This study identified the osteopontin-derived peptide, FOL-005, as a potential inhibitor of unwanted human hair growth by promoting catagen development without reducing stem cell numbers or showing toxicity.

This study observed that in an ex vivo setting, 17β-estradiol increased CB1 expression in human hair follicles, suggesting possible sensitivity to endocannabinoids and a potential mechanism for hair therapy.

The authors concluded that Lrig1-positive stem cells are essential for sebaceous gland formation in mice, as their ablation led to temporary sebaceous gland disappearance without affecting hair growth.

The document concludes that doctors should recognize congenital triangular alopecia to avoid unnecessary treatments, as it does not respond to steroids like alopecia areata does.

This article discusses treatment options for androgenetic alopecia, noting that medical interventions like finasteride and minoxidil can halt and partially reverse hair loss in mild to moderate cases, especially when combined with surgery.

In this case series, researchers observed androgenetic alopecia in 20 prepubertal children with a strong genetic predisposition, despite the condition typically not occurring before puberty.

This review discusses what is known about the pathobiology of frontal fibrosing alopecia and reports no new clinical findings, highlighting potential environmental and genetic factors in disease pathogenesis.

This study found that male pattern baldness in European males is strongly heritable and associated with genetic markers linked to earlier puberty, bone density, and pancreatic function.

This study found that 32% of patients with hereditary male pattern baldness experienced cosmetically acceptable hair growth after applying topical minoxidil twice daily, with no serious side effects reported.

This review suggests that platelet-rich plasma may be effective in increasing hair density in patients with androgenetic alopecia, but more research is needed to determine the best treatment protocol.

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 study observed that long-term use of finasteride in Japanese men with androgenetic alopecia was associated with progressive hair regrowth in 87.1% of participants without significant safety concerns.

This study found that among women with frontal fibrosing alopecia, 100% showed dermoscopic elements suggestive of the condition, with perifollicular erythema often indicating disease activity.

This article discusses the pseudo 'fringe sign' in frontal fibrosing alopecia, highlighting that it is not solely related to traction, and it reports no new clinical results.

This review assessed the effectiveness of various treatments for frontal fibrosing alopecia and found that intralesional steroids and 5α-reductase inhibitors showed the most positive outcomes in slowing or halting hair loss, though the lack of placebo-controlled studies and consistent outcome measures limits definitive conclusions.
