In this reported case of SAPHO syndrome, methotrexate treatment led to significant clinical improvement after other treatments for skin lesions and arthritis proved less effective.

In this chapter, the authors discuss how microneedling and platelet-rich plasma are effective for cosmetic purposes with minimal downtime, noting potential mild side effects and the necessity for multiple treatments.

Tailored nonsurgical cosmetic procedures are crucial for safely treating diverse skin types, especially skin of color.

This study reports that four Indian patients with acne keloidalis nuchae also exhibited acanthosis nigricans, suggesting a potential link to metabolic syndrome, though further research is needed to confirm this association.

In this report, a 17-year-old boy received successful scalp reduction surgery for alopecia due to a thermal burn, achieving excellent cosmetic results without hypertrophic or keloidal scarring.

This article discusses dermatological issues associated with black skin, such as postinflammatory pigmentation and keloids, and highlights the need for practitioners to understand these racial characteristics; it reports no new clinical results.

In this study of male patients with non-curly hair, the researchers observed a significant occurrence of folliculitis nuchae linked to close haircuts and shaving, with treatment effectiveness varying by disease phase and best results seen in early stages.

This article describes using hair transplantation as a novel method to improve the appearance of acne scars, but it reports no clinical results.

This book review examines various classification and treatment methods for acne scars, emphasizing the complexity and need for multiple therapeutic approaches, but reports no new clinical results.

In this review, the authors summarize classical and recent insights into the biology and treatment of hypertrophic scars and keloids, concluding that while understanding and strategies have advanced, effective prevention and treatments remain unsatisfactory.

This study found that adding platelet-rich plasma to microneedling improved outcomes for atrophic acne scars more than microneedling alone, according to both quantitative and qualitative assessments.

This study found that certain genetic variants, specifically CYB5R1 and IL1A, may be linked to different types of acne scarring, with CYB5R1 associated with atrophic scarring and IL1A with fibrotic scarring, indicating a potential polygenic nature of acne scarring.

In this case study, a 29-year-old woman's acne scars improved alongside enhancements in emotional well-being following six months of personalized homeopathic treatment, suggesting potential benefits for individuals unresponsive to conventional therapies, though further research is needed to substantiate these findings.

This review evaluated current evidence on minoxidil's potential to treat scars and reported reduced collagen accumulation and fibrosis in various studies, suggesting its antifibrotic effects may benefit wound healing; however, direct studies on acne scars are yet to be conducted.

This study concluded that combination therapies often yield better results for treating atrophic post-acne scars than single treatments.

This review discusses the wound healing process and the factors contributing to abnormal scarring after thermal injuries, but it reports no new clinical results.

Burn scars form abnormally due to changes in wound healing, and more research is needed to improve treatments.

This study suggests the mechanical effect of injecting a solution is more important than the solution's nature in treating atrophic acne scars, with UBM sonography proposed for objective assessment.

In this study, 65% TCA showed better improvement for acne scars compared to 50% GA, but GA may be a safer alternative with fewer adverse effects.

This meta-analysis found that autologous cell-based therapies, especially stromal vascular fraction, significantly improved atrophic acne scars over control treatments, enhancing both clinical and patient-reported outcomes.

This source highlights the potential benefits of identifying risk factors and intervening early to mitigate acne scarring and improve quality of life. It also emphasizes the importance of recognizing acne severity predictors to guide preventive strategies and optimize patient outcomes.

The researchers observed that dermoscopy is valuable for assessing acne scars and their response to treatment, with shorter-duration scars responding more effectively.

This study synthesizes knowledge of how dendritic cell signals, epithelial integrins, and fibroblast activity converge on TGF-β1 to maintain or disrupt skin healing, contrasting normal and fibrotic scar formation and suggesting possible integrin and immune-targeted treatments for skin fibrosis.

This study highlights the evolving understanding of acne's pathophysiology and suggests that targeting pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-17, IL-23, and TNFα with biological antibodies may offer new treatment strategies for severe acne and its scars.

This review describes various types of folliculitis based on their causes, clinical manifestations, and treatments, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that micro-needling with cosmeceuticals or platelet-rich plasma significantly improved wrinkles, skin laxity, scar softening, and hair growth over 12 months, with minimal side effects, and that the best results occur with pigment and platelet massaging between 5 to 30 minutes post-treatment.

This study provides evidence-based recommendations for the off-label use of topical vitamin D in treating certain skin conditions, but highlights the need for higher quality studies for further validation.

This article offers guidance for hair transplant surgeons on addressing old or poorly executed transplants, focusing on surgical precision and effective use of limited donor hair to enhance cosmetic outcomes.
