This study from S.C.B. Medical College explored the clinico-etiological and histopathological patterns of erythroderma, observing psoriasis as the most common cause, followed by idiopathic cases and atopic or drug-induced dermatitis, highlighting the need for careful management and awareness of alternative medicine use.

In this study, researchers observed that follicular microinflammation significantly contributes to the early stages of male androgenetic alopecia, potentially leading to perifollicular fibrosis and follicle destruction as the condition progresses.

This study reported that dilated follicular infundibula are a highly useful histopathologic criterion for diagnosing alopecia areata, particularly during its recovery stage.

This article reviews advances in the histologic evaluation of alopecia and hair-related disorders, without presenting new clinical results.

This study found that follicular acantholysis is a common histopathological feature in pemphigus, with differences in depth between pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus lesions that may aid in diagnosis.

This article discusses suspected skin toxicity from drugs used to treat rheumatoid arthritis but reports no new clinical findings.

This study explored the development of herbal hair gels using natural extracts like flaxseed and guava leaves, targeting the reduction of dandruff and regulation of hair loss through antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, though specific results of efficacy are not reported.

This study found that the occipital scalp is significantly involved in female pattern hair loss, with some patients showing clinically visible alopecia.

This study observed that estrogen receptor β and androgen receptor expressions in the skin decline with age, more noticeably under sun exposure, suggesting a role in skin aging.

This study found that photoexposure significantly increased the gene expression of altered elastin, MMP12, and LOX, as well as the protein expression of tropoelastin and fibrillin-1, in skin models.

This study found that finasteride use for androgenetic alopecia was not associated with increased sexual dysfunction compared to an age-matched control group.

This study found that in male rats, hesperidin co-administration ameliorated finasteride-induced testicular toxicity by reducing oxidative stress and improving antioxidant status, sperm parameters, and enzyme activity compared to finasteride treatment alone.

In this study, researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of 16 cases of erosive palmoplantar lichen planus in North East India, finding a higher prevalence in pediatric and male patients, with common clinical features including plantar involvement and histopathological indicators such as basal cell degeneration.

In this study, trichoscopy was found to be a valuable non-invasive tool for diagnosing scalp lesions, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and reducing the need for scalp biopsies by identifying specific trichoscopic features associated with conditions like psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and alopecia areata.

This case report describes a 17-year-old boy with alopecia areata who had vitamin D deficiency and an incidentally discovered adrenal ganglioneuroma, with alopecia receding after vitamin D supplementation but later recurring despite normalized vitamin D and no tumor return.

Small white dots on the scalp seen with a dermoscope correspond to sweat ducts and vary with different hair disorders.

This study found that vertical sections of alopecia biopsy specimens had a higher concordance rate with the original combined diagnosis compared to transverse sections alone, although both methods have their pros and cons.

In this study, old age was concluded not to be a significant cause of hair loss, with most cases in the elderly appearing to be androgen-driven.

This study investigated a severe outbreak of mange in a goat herd in North Goa and found that treatment with Ivermectin and other supplements led to complete recovery, highlighting the need for preventive measures in hot, humid regions.

In this study, 75% of alopecia areata patients showed improvement after treatment with 35% trichloroacetic acid, leading the researchers to conclude it is a safe and effective option for treating this condition.

This study demonstrates that exfoliative cutaneous lupus erythematosus in German short-haired pointers involves a cellular and humoral immune response against the epidermal basement membrane, with poor response to immunosuppressive therapy.

This study reported that sunscreen with SPF50+ provides a high level of DNA protection against UV-induced damage in a reconstituted human epidermis model, comparable to that in skin explants.

This study investigated a herbal extract combining Emblica officinalis with 2% minoxidil solution for hair growth and found it significantly enhanced follicular size and prolonged hair growth phases, suggesting it may be an effective hair growth treatment compared to standard minoxidil solutions.

Antisense oligonucleotides show promise for treating Myotonic Dystrophy type I.

This study found that targeting both hormonal and immune pathways improved treatment outcomes in androgenetic alopecia patients with an under-recognized inflammatory component called PIILIF, which may contribute to treatment resistance.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma was more effective for treating alopecia areata than topical 5% minoxidil, leading to earlier hair regrowth and reduction in hair abnormalities.

This retrospective review found that while intralesional corticosteroids provided symptomatic improvement for lichen planopilaris, hydroxychloroquine with topical corticosteroids led to higher remission rates but did not result in visible hair regrowth.

In this study, severe diffuse hair loss in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus was associated with distinct clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological features, which improved alongside treatment of the underlying condition.

This study found that chemical hair straightening significantly reduced hair curl and improved smoothness and shine, but did not significantly affect transverse fissures or split ends, indicating potential benefits with some side effects.

This study found that treatment improved symptoms and stopped disease progression for 75% of lichen planopilaris patients whose follow-up data were available.
