A woman got a scalp condition from using latanoprost, but it improved after stopping the drug and starting other treatments.

Clofazimine may be effective for treating ashy dermatosis.

In this case report, an 8-year-old Spitz dog with refractory dermatophytosis showed significant clinical improvement after switching to posaconazole, chosen based on antifungal susceptibility testing, offering a promising treatment option for dogs unresponsive to standard antifungal therapies.

In this case report, a two-year-old girl with kerion type of tinea capitis successfully achieved clinical and mycologic cure with double pulse dose terbinafine and 2% ketoconazole shampoo over two months, with excellent tolerability and no side effects.

This study found that using topical latanoprost 0.005% solution significantly increased hair density and regrowth in patients with scalp alopecia areata over 12 weeks, although it did not significantly reduce hair loss area compared to the placebo.

This study highlights the challenges in treating Microsporum canis infections due to variable antifungal drug efficacy and potential resistance, emphasizing the need for standardized methods to assess drug susceptibility.

This study evaluated the effect of 2% ketoconazole lotion for androgenetic alopecia, but the results regarding its effectiveness on clinical appearance remained unclear.

The woman was diagnosed with lichen planopilaris and can be treated with corticosteroids.

This study highlights that prolonged voriconazole use is linked to an increased risk of aggressive cutaneous malignancies like squamous cell carcinoma, necessitating careful monitoring of drug levels to manage adverse effects.

This meta-analysis found that a combination of clobetasol, hydroxychloroquine, and N-acetylcysteine may be the most effective treatment approach for lichen planopilaris compared to other therapies.

This paper suggests that ketoconazole 2% shampoo may enhance finasteride's effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia by more completely inhibiting the dihydrotestosterone pathway.
