This review outlines current treatments for folliculitis decalvans and dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, noting conventional therapies' limitations and promising but limited results from targeted biologic agents.

This review examines the clinicopathologic features of perifollicular elastolysis and indicates that, while its presentation is consistent, there is a lack of high-certainty evidence for effective treatments.

This case report highlights the rarity and complex differential diagnosis of discoid lupus erythematosus, emphasizing that immunosuppressive therapy in such cases can lead to serious complications like pulmonary tuberculosis.

In this study, researchers presented cases of cellular neurothekeoma in three male family members with early-onset in infancy, suggesting a potential genetic component and inheritance pattern, which deviates from the typical presentation seen mostly in women between 20–30 years.

This systematic review suggests that a combination of systemic, topical, and procedural treatments may be most effective for managing neutrophilic alopecias of the scalp in children, but highlights the need for more pediatric-specific research.
