This review discusses evidence-based treatments for common hair loss forms, noting robust support for androgenetic alopecia therapies but limited long-term data and fewer high-quality studies for alopecia areata and cicatricial alopecias.

This study reports that newly synthesized steroidal trienones exhibit higher 5α-reductase inhibitory activity than dienones in various biological models, suggesting potential use in treating androgen-dependent diseases.

This article discusses the efficacy and safety of mycophenolate mofetil and hydroxychloroquine for treating lichen planopilaris and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses therapies for skin lesions in lupus erythematosus and reports no new clinical results, focusing on defining and managing refractory disease.

This review summarizes current and emerging treatments for common hair loss conditions, highlighting good evidence for androgenetic alopecia but noting the lack of long-term data for alopecia areata and cicatricial alopecias.

This study reported that while no effective treatment exists for frontal fibrosing alopecia, oral 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors showed the most promise, inducing a good clinical response in 45% of patients.

This article reviews common dermatologic conditions seen in primary care, such as acne and skin cancer, but reports no new findings.

Lupus can cause different skin problems, and treatments like quitting smoking and using certain creams or medicines can help.

Antiyeast treatments work better for seborrheic dermatitis than steroids, and other findings include increased skin bacteria under plastic wrap, a nasal cell defect in Staphylococcus aureus carriers, quick resolution of certain skin reactions, high rubber latex allergy in spina bifida patients, and glyceryl monopentadecanoate's effectiveness for male hair loss.

This article reviews the causes of hair loss in pediatric and adult populations, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between primary dermatologic conditions and those related to systemic diseases, but reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and possible genetic and environmental influences of polycystic ovary syndrome but provides no new research findings.

This review discusses the incidence, demographics, and associated conditions of alopecia areata and provides no new clinical findings.

This case study reports a female adult patient with annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma on the scalp, observed through dermoscopy showing multiple yellowish/orange follicular dots against an erythemato-whitish background.

In this study, researchers developed a sensitive assay to measure the inhibition of steroid 5-α reductase (5AR) by chemicals like finasteride and dutasteride, revealing species-specific differences in inhibitor efficacy between human and fish cell lines.

The document says a skin condition called alopecia areata causes hair loss and stress, and is treated with strong skin creams, injections, or other therapies, but treatment success varies.

This study synthesized and evaluated hydroxycinnamate derivatives for their ability to inhibit human SRD5A1, finding that three compounds showed significant inhibitory activity and low cytotoxicity. Compound 10a notably reduced SRD5A1 protein expression in cells, suggesting potential for nonsteroidal treatment of androgen-related conditions.

This study found that topical corticosteroids are the most supported first-line treatment for pediatric alopecia areata, with contact immunotherapy as the next best option.

This study found that long-term use of difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion in dogs can lead to HPA axis suppression and potentially cause iatrogenic hyperadrenocorticism, with localized alopecia suspected due to dermal absorption.

Male hormones control a specific gene in hamster skin, with different hormones having varying effects.

In this study, applying a biodegradable microneedle patch after topical steroid application significantly increased steroid penetration and improved treatment outcomes in patients with prurigo nodularis compared to the control.

In this study, tapering prednisone followed by 2% topical minoxidil helped limit hair loss in some patients with alopecia areata, with 30% to 47% showing over 25% hair regrowth initially.

This series of eight North American patients with erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp suggests that factors like immunosenescence and ultraviolet damage may contribute to the condition's development.

This review examines the role of steroidal inhibitors in treating prostatic diseases but presents no new clinical results.

This case report observed hypertrichosis on the left forearm of an 80-year-old woman, possibly linked to her previous use of the topical steroid betamethasone butyrate propionate for dermatitis.

This study suggests that potent topical corticosteroid occlusion may be a safe and effective treatment option for pediatric patients with severe alopecia areata, although further research is needed on its long-term safety and recurrence.

This review critically assesses current topical therapies for scalp psoriasis and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the need for controlled trials to evaluate treatment efficacy.

This review discusses strategies for developing semi-solid topical generic products to match the quality of reference-listed drugs, using concepts like quality by design and reverse-engineering, but reports no new results.

This review emphasizes the potential of repurposing topical L-thyroxine for skin ulcers and telogen effluvium and highlights the need for further exploration of its use in dermatology.

This study in Jordan found that topical corticosteroid use is common and often involves creams obtained without prescriptions, with only 61.3% of users aware of potential side effects, highlighting a need for better public education and regulation to prevent misuse.

This review discusses hormones that affect acne and highlights a statistically significant link between a low-glycemic-load diet and reduced acne activity, but reports no new experimental findings.
