This study suggests that metformin's ability to enhance insulin sensitivity may improve acanthosis nigricans by addressing the underlying insulin resistance.

This study found that both intralesional corticosteroids (TAC) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are effective for treating patchy alopecia areata, with TAC providing faster early results but PRP offering better long-term safety and lower relapse rates.

This study observed that topical dinitrochlorobenzene was significantly more effective than topical betamethasone in treating patients with alopecia areata, with 53.3% achieving excellent hair regrowth compared to 13.3% using betamethasone.

In this case report, a unique immunological mechanism was observed in an 11-year-old girl where the presence of one autoimmune disease appeared to prevent the manifestation of another, leading to the withdrawal of one type of lesion when another appeared.

This study found that intralesional methotrexate and triamcinolone acetonide have similar efficacy for localized alopecia areata in adults, but differ in safety profiles, with methotrexate associated with hyperpigmentation and triamcinolone with atrophy.

This case report describes a healthy Thai male who developed severe folliculitis following diode laser hair removal, which improved significantly with prednisolone and benzoyl peroxide treatment.

In this case report, researchers observed that a malnourished male patient developed pseudoglucagonoma syndrome, characterized by necrolytic migratory erythema and diffuse hair loss, following Frey's surgery, which rapidly improved with enhanced nutrition.

In this case report, a 42-year-old male diagnosed with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome presented symptoms like chronic diarrhea, significant weight loss, skin hyperpigmentation, alopecia, and nail dystrophy, with endoscopic findings revealing numerous gastrointestinal polyps.

In this case report, a 6-year-old spayed female Samoyed dog presented with non-pruritic alopecia and hyperpigmentation on the hips and back, with unremarkable bloodwork and negative Cushing's disease and skin tests.

This study explored spontaneous repigmentation after phenol-croton oil peels in skin of color, finding that temporary hypopigmentation resolved by day 21 in both a black-skin domestic pig model and human clinical observations, highlighting potential for these procedures despite past concerns about pigmentation issues.

This case report describes a 15-year-old girl with features of Becker naevus syndrome, highlighting the importance of DNA analysis from skin to confirm the diagnosis after 9 years of symptoms.

In this case series, researchers observed a rare presentation of lichen planopilaris confined to the face in six patients, with dermoscopic and histopathological profiles indicating scarring alopecia and pigment changes, and suggested that shaving and mustard oil use might trigger the condition.

This report describes a case of Goltz syndrome in a 12-year-old Saudi girl, highlighting the variability in symptoms and the importance of documenting such rare syndromes.

The study found that intralesional injection of platelet-rich plasma appears safe and may be effective for treating post-burn scars, with shorter scar durations showing better results.

This study reports that diphenylcyclopropenone topical immunotherapy resulted in any hair regrowth for 69% of patients with alopecia areata, but with common side effects including mild to severe contact dermatitis.

New treatments and drugs show promise for improving skin pigmentation and regeneration.

This study identified a novel bi-allelic missense variant in the DSC3 gene linked to severe Hypotrichosis with Recurrent Skin Vesicles in a Saudi child, supporting its role in the condition.

This review discusses the genetic and metabolic factors influencing hair pigmentation, as well as conditions leading to hypo- or depigmented hair, and reports no new experimental findings.

In this case report, a woman with segmental vitiligo and hemifacial atrophy showed signs of stabilization after treatment with chloroquine and betamethasone pulse, suggesting a common underlying cause for these dermatoses.

This study reported that using a Cutera Xeo laser with specific probes may help treat rosacea symptoms like diffuse facial erythema and telangiectasias, with some risks like bruises and hypopigmentation.

A young man was unexpectedly diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma after a scalp examination and confocal microscopy.

New hair after alopecia areata can be thinner and change color but usually keeps the same shape.

This study identified 92 novel regulators of melanogenesis, highlighting Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 as a potential target for developing new treatments for hyperpigmentation disorders like melasma.

This study identified ALDH1A1 as a regulator of melanogenesis and suggests its inhibition, through agents like cyanamide, may be a promising therapeutic approach for treating hyperpigmentation disorders such as melasma.

This study found that high dose rate electronic brachytherapy was effective for non-melanoma skin cancer, with no recurrences and good to excellent cosmesis up to three years post-treatment.
