In this case report, the researchers identified pathogenic compound heterozygous mutations in a young girl with lipoid proteinosis, noting her relatively mild symptoms and recommending genetic testing for early diagnosis and management of this rare condition.

In this study, reflectance confocal microscopy was used to diagnose periorificial dermatitis, revealing specific skin changes such as hair follicle dilatation, increased vascular density, and inflammation, which help distinguish it from similar conditions.

This case report describes a 5-year-old girl with atrichia with papular lesions, whose diagnosis was confirmed through genetic testing identifying mutations in the hairless gene.

This case study describes a 7-month-old boy diagnosed with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome due to a de novo GJB2 gene mutation, highlighting the challenges in treatment and eventual fatal outcome due to severe complications.

This review discusses the various trichoscopic features of androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, noting white dots in advanced cases as indicators of poor prognosis, but reports no new clinical results.

This case study describes a young girl with sparse, brittle scalp hair and multiple keratotic papules, but no systemic or familial abnormalities were found.

This study underscores the importance of using trichoscopy and histopathology for the differential diagnosis of primary neutrophilic cicatricial alopecias to facilitate early intervention and prevent cicatricial alopecia progression.

This case report describes a rare instance of Olmsted syndrome with hypotrichosis in a 5-year-old boy, noting mild improvement in symptoms following treatment with oral acitretin and other interventions.

Monilethrix is a rare, inherited condition causing fragile hair and hair loss, with no cure but some treatments may help.

This report describes two cases of monilethrix in Afghan siblings, detailing the hair disorder's clinical presentation and potential influences on hair growth, such as hormonal changes and iron supplementation.

This study found that the hairless mutant gene in C 57BL/6 mice affects the hair follicle cycle and leads to early thymus degeneration and distinct skin changes.

This case report describes a 5-year-old girl with lipoid proteinosis, characterized by a raspy voice, thinning scalp hair, and recurrent crusted lesions leading to pock-like scars.

This case study highlights Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli as an easily overlooked pigmentary disorder characterized by a distinctive triad requiring precise diagnosis for effective patient counseling and cosmetic management.

This study describes how avian-inspired imagery is used in dermatology to help clinicians and patients identify and communicate skin conditions, using familiar terms like "chicken skin" and "fried egg" to capture specific visual patterns and clinical features.

This study highlights that traumatic anserine folliculosis is a benign condition often seen in young males, which can be diagnosed without invasive biopsies using clinical examination and dermoscopy.

In this study, researchers observed that all kidney transplant patients at a Mexico City hospital developed at least one type of skin condition, with infectious dermatoses being the most common. The authors recommend dermatological assessments before transplantation to manage dermatoses, potentially reducing related health risks.

This review discusses various types of primary cicatricial alopecias, categorized by the predominant type of inflammatory cells involved, and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses various forms of ichthyosis, including genetic and acquired types, detailing their characteristics, causes, and potential management strategies, but reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses the classification of mental retardation based on IQ ranges and provides no new experimental findings.

This article reviews various types of primary cicatricial alopecias and emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis to improve management strategies, particularly detailing remaining lymphocytic forms and expanding on neutrophilic and mixed types.

This review found the strongest evidence supporting azelaic acid's use in treating rosacea, with somewhat less evidence for its effectiveness in melasma and acne vulgaris, and weaker support for its use in conditions like hidradenitis suppurativa and keratosis pilaris.

This review highlights that various targeted cancer therapies are associated with specific ocular side-effects, emphasizing the importance of awareness among ophthalmologists for timely diagnosis and management.

This study found that obesity is associated with several skin conditions, such as striae and pseudoacanthosis nigricans, which may serve as markers of excessive weight.

This study reported that patients with acanthosis nigricans and insulin resistance exhibited higher insulin levels and were associated with increased insulin resistance correlating with serum testosterone levels.

This review article discusses the classification, epidemiology, diagnostic approach, and patient management of lymphocytic primary cicatricial alopecias, without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that oral etretinate improved skin conditions like erythrodermic and pustular psoriasis, although less so for psoriasis vulgaris and lichen planus, with notable side effects including cheilitis and mucous membrane dryness.

In this study, oral etretinate resulted in increased hair length and loss of beading in a childhood monilethrix case, while the scalp's keratosis pilaris persisted.

This study observed that 71% of chronic myeloid leukemia patients treated with second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors experienced adverse cutaneous reactions, which were generally less severe than those caused by imatinib.

This case series describes Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli in five Indian patients, suggesting it may be more common than currently reported.

This article reviews the early establishment of dermatology as a specialty in the U.S. and documents the initial descriptive errors in understanding Darier's disease, offering no new clinical data.
