This brief report describes a case of Fox-Fordyce disease in a prepubertal girl but reports no new clinical findings.

This study suggests platelet-rich plasma may be more effective than other non-surgical treatments for male androgenetic alopecia, while low-level laser therapy ranks highest for women; however, the evidence quality was low.

This review discusses dietary manipulation strategies in a mouse model of CBS deficiency and reports no new results; the authors emphasize the importance of understanding gene-diet interactions.

This study found that phyto-vesicles of ß-sitosterol showed better absorption and improved activity for treating androgenetic alopecia in rats compared to the compound and its complex.

This report highlights a case where a woman's use of the dopamine agonist pramipexole for Parkinson's disease was associated with hair loss, which improved after discontinuing the drug.

This meta-analysis reported that 0.5 mg/d of dutasteride significantly increased total hair count at 24 weeks compared to finasteride and minoxidil in men with androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, ethyl acetate fraction of Eclipta alba was found to inhibit adipogenesis and reduce dyslipidemia in hamsters, suggesting potential as an herbal treatment for obesity.

In this study, idiopathic hirsutism was identified as the most common cause of hirsutism among the participants, with a significant difference in hormone levels between cases of polycystic ovarian syndrome and idiopathic hirsutism.

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

This report describes the clinical and histopathological features of lipoid proteinosis in a brother and sister with lid lesions, highlighting the importance of recognizing such lesions for diagnosis.

This study found that topical minoxidil is more effective than placebo in promoting hair growth in androgenetic alopecia, although cosmetically acceptable results occur only in a subset of patients.

This case report details a 21-year-old woman with dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis, presenting with generalized reticulate hyperpigmentation, diffuse noncicatricial alopecia, onychodystrophy, palmoplantar keratoderma, and poorly developed dermatoglyphics.

In this case report, the authors describe a child with treatment-resistant alopecia areata who successfully responded to leflunomide and anthralin, proposing this combination as a potentially cost-effective alternative for managing recalcitrant cases by possibly inhibiting the JAK/STAT pathway.

This article reviews valproate's impact on hair health, reporting both hair loss linked with oral use and early signs of hair regeneration from topical applications, without presenting new clinical results.

This review discusses fungal skin infections in children, including diagnosis challenges and treatment options, and does not present new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the importance of accurate pathogen identification for effective treatment.

This study investigated the effects of the herbal formulation DA-5512 on hair growth, finding that it significantly promotes dermal papilla cell proliferation and stimulates hair growth in mice while showing efficacy and safety in human trials compared to placebo and minoxidil (3%).

This study found that musculoskeletal symptoms such as pain and fatigue among hair restoration surgeons were more common and lasted longer after performing follicular unit extraction compared to strip excision procedures.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma significantly increased hair diameter in both men and women with androgenetic alopecia but improved hair density only in men.

This study revealed that photobiomodulation significantly improved hair density in androgenetic alopecia patients, with laser treatments being more effective than combined laser/LED treatments, while device style did not significantly affect outcomes.

This study found that azathioprine pulse therapy and betamethasone both effectively managed alopecia areata with similar hair regrowth results, though betamethasone had significantly more side effects, suggesting azathioprine as a preferable alternative to corticosteroids.

In this study, behavioral disturbances were commonly observed with levetiracetam, while somnolence was frequently reported with oxcarbazepine among patients with refractory epilepsy.

This study found that microneedling monotherapy significantly increased hair count more than topical minoxidil in androgenetic alopecia, with combination therapy of microneedling and minoxidil being even more effective. Further research is needed to evaluate microneedling's safety and efficacy as a monotherapy.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma had limited efficacy in treating alopecia areata but may help restore immune balance in the affected areas.
