This study found that treatment modalities and patch size influence hair regrowth patterns in alopecia areata patches.

In this study, a multifunctional aloin-arginine-alginate bio-patch was developed, which transforms into a hydrogel to accelerate wound healing and offers antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits, making it promising for use in cutaneous regeneration.

This case report details a 17-year-old female with anorexia nervosa who presented with a large, irregular area of pubic hair loss exhibiting various hair and skin abnormalities.

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.

In this study, basal cell carcinoma developed in Ptch-deficient mice only after chemical treatment, not skin wounding, suggesting a second unknown event is necessary for tumor formation.

This study identified a new variety of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia that includes patchy hair loss on the lateral and posterior scalp in African-American women, which could be misdiagnosed as traction alopecia without dermatoscopy and pathology.

This study found that mink pelts with "singe" and "red hip" defects often exhibit split hair tips and altered cuticle structures, which may contribute to their undesired metallic sheen.

This case report describes a strong dermoscopic and histopathological correlation in lichen nitidus, helping differentiate it from other similar conditions.

RAPK is a rare skin disorder with pigmented spots, mainly on hands and feet, starting in youth.

Vitiligo causes white skin patches and is linked to autoimmune issues.

This study from a dermatology department found that patch test positivity for allergic contact dermatitis is lower in geriatric patients than in adults, likely due to age-related immune changes and reduced allergen exposure.

In this case report, a 64-year-old Thai woman with a history of misdiagnosed eczema or folliculitis was ultimately found to have granular parakeratosis of the eccrine ostium, leading to significant symptom improvement once accurately diagnosed and advised to avoid excessive heat and moisture.

This case study describes an uncommon variant of coudability hair in alopecia areata, where intermittent inflammatory processes result in alternating bands of lighter color and reduced hair shaft calibre.

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 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.

This study found that dermoscopy showed distinctive patterns for different types of alopecia, supporting its clinical usefulness for diagnosing diseases with small round or oval hairless patches on the scalp.

This report describes a rare case of scarring alopecia, diagnosed as lichen planopilaris (LPP), affecting solely the limbs, highlighting the necessity for thorough evaluation of LPP beyond the scalp.

In this study, three patients with alopecia areata exhibited spotty absence of the whiteness of their nail lunulae, potentially due to defects in the matrical epithelium.

This case report describes a 3-year-old male with X-linked ichthyosis and associated neurologic abnormalities, identifying an unusual cortical development malformation and suggesting that abnormal hair banding may assist diagnosis.

In this case report, the researchers highlighted the diagnostic challenge of Majocchi’s granuloma, a deep fungal infection that mimics other skin conditions and resists initial treatment, emphasizing the importance of considering it as a diagnosis even after failed topical antifungal therapies.

This case report suggests that nonsynchronized segmented heterochromia in black scalp hair in a 14-year-old girl may represent premature greying unrelated to deficiencies in iron, copper, zinc, or protein.

This case report describes a patient with pseudopelade affecting both the scalp and beard area, highlighting the unusual presentation of a rare hair disorder.

This review discusses the potential regulation of signal transduction pathways by microRNAs in animal cells, aiming to identify biological processes that may be influenced by miRNA-mediated regulation, but it reports no new experimental outcomes.

This study suggests that cortisol measured in human hair can effectively reflect increased production for up to six months, but its retrospective accuracy may be limited due to rapid decline in levels.

This review discusses genderqueer and non-binary identities and explores how mental health professionals can support these marginalized communities, but it reports no new findings.

This study found that the maternal nutritional status during early pregnancy significantly influenced epigenetic changes in offspring, as maternal diet altered DNA methylation at human metastable epialleles.
