This systematic review investigated colchicine as a potential treatment for various skin conditions, finding that most studies reported generally positive clinical outcomes when used alone or with other drugs, despite some variability in results.

This case report highlights a misdiagnosis of traction alopecia that progressed to lichen planopilaris in a patient of color, emphasizing the need to consider LPP in similar cases due to differing treatments.

This study found that treatment with oral tofacitinib, alone or with other therapies, was associated with clinical improvement in most patients with recalcitrant lichen planopilaris.

This case series reported that low-dose naltrexone may benefit patients with lichen planopilaris by reducing scalp symptoms and slowing disease progression, with no adverse effects observed in the patients.

This case report describes an 11-year-old girl with eosinophilic pustular folliculitis that showed significant improvement with naproxen after being unresponsive to other treatments.

In this case report, a 2-month-old Chippiparai pup in Puducherry, India, successfully received treatment for concurrent scabies and dermatophytosis using ivermectin, a topical acaricide solution, a dewormer, and an herbal immunostimulant, with no signs of toxicity.

This study found that stilbamidine and hydroxystilbamidine can inhibit the release of specific enzymes from lysosomes and mitochondria in rabbit liver at certain concentrations, with effects similar to cortisol and chloroquine.

In this study, researchers developed a method using scalp cyanoacrylate biopsy and advanced imaging techniques to effectively measure and visualize the distribution of anti-dandruff shampoo ingredients zinc pyrithione and climbazole within the scalp follicular infundibulum.

This article reports on lentiginosis observed within plaques of linear atrophoderma of Moulin and discusses its potential classification as a twin-spotting phenomenon but provides no new clinical research results.

This report describes a rare case of painless thyroiditis induced by prolonged off-label use of Lugol’s solution in a 59-year-old woman.

This case report describes a patient with lichen planopilaris who experienced remarkable hair regrowth at a previously scarred area after treatment with low-dose naltrexone and platelet-rich plasma, following minimal response to other therapies.

In a study using mice, researchers observed that Cacumen platycladi fermented with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum CCFM1348—both as postbiotics and synbiotics—promoted hair growth, potentially by engaging the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and enhancing growth factor expression.

This review found that antimalarial agents were more effective than steroids for Lichen planopilaris, while finasteride and dutasteride showed favorable impacts on frontal fibrosing alopecia, despite heterogeneous study quality.

This study reports that valproic acid is effective in treating absence seizures and shows improvement in other types of seizures, though about 20% of patients experienced adverse effects.

In this study, researchers analyzed the waters of Ladakh's hotsprings, identifying 27 bioactive compounds with potential health benefits, but emphasize that further clinical trials are needed to confirm their therapeutic efficacy and safety.

In this study involving women undergoing taxane-based chemotherapy, a twice-daily topical application of BPM31543 was well-tolerated and showed potential in reducing severe hair loss, prompting further investigation at higher doses.

In this study, the ethanol extract of Zapoteca portoricensis stem significantly reduced markers of testosterone-induced benign prostate hyperplasia in male albino rats without harming liver and kidney function.

This study found that oral retinoid therapy may provide clinical improvement in a small percentage of patients with treatment-resistant lichen planopilaris, although it is not commonly used as a first-line treatment.

This study found that lambertianic acid from Platycladus orientalis leaves may protect against dexamethasone-induced skeletal muscle atrophy by reducing atrophy-related proteins without affecting cell viability.

This study suggests that the expression and localization of toll-like receptors and caveolin-1 in lichen planopilaris may influence cicatricial alopecia pathobiology and that downregulating caveolae could offer a novel management strategy.

This review compiles existing research on Peperomia pellucida's traditional medicinal uses and pharmacological properties but reports no new findings, suggesting its potential for drug development.

In this study, patients with mild to moderate scalp seborrheic dermatitis experienced greater improvements in severity scores and quality of life with Lulican™ shampoo compared to Ketoconazole over four weeks, with similar safety profiles but better tolerability and cosmetic acceptability for LulicanTM.

PLLA injections can cause hair loss and skin issues.

In this case series, researchers observed a rare presentation of lichen planopilaris confined to the face in six patients, with dermoscopic and histopathological profiles indicating scarring alopecia and pigment changes, and suggested that shaving and mustard oil use might trigger the condition.

This case report describes the first instance of classical lichen planopilaris with atrophic lichenoid plaques developing in a Blaschko-linear pattern due to imatinib treatment in a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia.

In this study, autologous platelet concentrates and topical steroids similarly reduced lesion size, Thongprasom scale, and pain in oral lichen planus patients, suggesting autologous platelet concentrates as a potential alternative treatment.
