This review discusses trichotillomania, its prevalence, and treatment options, emphasizing that many sufferers experience delays in treatment due to secrecy and shame, but reports no new research findings.

This case report highlights the diagnostic challenge of inverted follicular keratosis, emphasizing the importance of histopathology for accurate differentiation from malignancies.

This article illustrates various hair shaft defects and suggests that dermatologists can diagnose most of them using light microscopy and polarization without needing advanced imaging techniques.

This report discusses a case of pediatric trichotillomania, detailing its clinical presentation and distinguishing histopathological characteristics, ultimately diagnosing the condition in a 7-year-old boy with nonscarring alopecia.

This study suggests that keratin 9 expression in nonpalmoplantar keratinocytes can be induced by signals from palmoplantar fibroblasts, potentially enabling the use of nonpalmoplantar epidermis to treat palmoplantar wounds.

This article discusses hair tourniquet syndrome, a form of penile strangulation caused by human hair often occurring postpartum, and emphasizes considering both accidental causes and the possibility of child abuse in each case.

This article on pediculosis lacks an abstract and does not report new research findings.

This study provides evidence that ILC1-like cells can induce alopecia areata in previously healthy human hair follicles, challenging the view that it is solely an autoantigen-dependent autoimmune disease.

This case report describes a unique instance of keratoacanthomas developing within a red ink tattoo on a 51-year-old male, eight years after tattoo placement, and highlights the importance of monitoring for these lesions in tattoos, particularly red ink.

Basal cell carcinoma shows keratin patterns similar to undifferentiated hair follicle cells.

This study found that cultured outer root sheath cells from human hair follicles expressed a keratin profile similar to their in vivo environment, indicating environmental influence on keratin expression.

This case study reports a 36-year-old man with KID syndrome caused by an N14Y GJB2 mutation, expanding the mutation spectrum of this condition in the Chinese population.

This case report describes a rare instance of a patient with trichotillomania also developing a gastric trichobezoar, leading to Rapunzel syndrome.

This case report describes a 50-year-old Kashmiri woman with plica polonica, detailing trichoscopic findings of entangled hair with crisscrossing shafts and concretions.

This case report highlights a 60-year-old patient's diagnosis with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, characterized by gastrointestinal polyps, diarrhea, weight loss, brittle nails, alopecia, and skin changes, which showed improvement with treatment.

This case report documents the first known instance of an ectopic sebaceous gland and duct within a hair follicle in a 21-year-old male with persistent acneiform eruption.

In this study, researchers found multiple somatic mutations and copy number variations in a patient with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, providing novel insights into its potential genetic mechanisms.

This paper presents a new methodology combining magnetic tweezers and traction force microscopy to study keratinocyte mechanobiology, but reports no experimental results yet.

This study details how very long human hair naturally ages, showing cuticle wear and internal fiber changes that may inform new hair care product designs.

This case study reports the first instance of localized acquired hypertrichosis in a pediatric patient following splint application after forearm surgery, with hair growth returning to normal within eight months.

This case report highlights a 34-year-old woman with traction alopecia, where diagnosis was clarified by the presence of peripilar keratin sheaths, a useful dermoscopic clue.

This research identified that the constitutive and inducible expression of the Keratin 6 gene in transgenic mice skin is controlled by multiple regulatory elements spread throughout its 5' flanking region.

This case report describes a 56-year-old woman with wooly hair and skin lesions, who experienced reduced plaque size and thickness after using 6% salicylic acid topically for three months.

This study suggests that activating retinoic acid signalling can inhibit Wnt signalling and induce regression in certain skin tumors, providing potential therapeutic strategies for tumor regression.

A 72-year-old man with sudden taste issues and hair growth was diagnosed with a severe stomach cancer and died within 5 months.

This case report indicates that trichoscopy may significantly improve the diagnosis of Netherton syndrome by noninvasively identifying typical hair abnormalities without the need to pull hair.

This article reviews how anatomical differences in skin arise and persist, and suggests the underlying molecular positional code is more complex than apparent, but reports no new research findings.

This source highlights the emerging field of psychodermatology, which examines the interplay between psychological factors and skin disorders, noting a historical lack of attention due to inadequate professional training and emphasizing the need for integrated care involving dermatologists, psychiatrists, and psychologists.

This case report describes an unusual nail tumor termed "onycholemmal horn" in a 77-year-old woman, highlighting its distinct histopathological features and the importance of excisional biopsy for accurate diagnosis.

This study found that the ID2 gene was highly expressed in bulge-derived keratinocytes when exposed to contact sensitizers and may serve as a marker to distinguish sensitizers from irritants during in vitro testing.
