This study evaluated the long-term safety of ritlecitinib in adolescents with alopecia areata and found it to be well-tolerated without new safety concerns over approximately five years, with common adverse events including positive SARS-CoV-2 tests, acne, headache, and nasopharyngitis.

This study reported that ritlecitinib effectively improved hair regrowth in JAK inhibitor-naïve adolescent patients with severe alopecia areata, achieving significant reductions in SALT scores within 24 weeks, but was less effective for patients who had previously been treated with baricitinib.

Several companies launched new hair care ingredients in 2011 to improve conditioning, color retention, combability, and heat protection.

In this study, a network meta-analysis found that treating lichen planopilaris with a combination of clobetasol, hydroxychloroquine, and N-acetylcysteine was the most effective approach, while cyclosporine, methotrexate, and some other treatments were less effective compared to hydroxychloroquine.

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 concluded that topical betamethasone valerate lotion is more effective than 15% lactic acid solution for managing multiple patchy alopecia areata over a 12-week period in a sample of 50 patients.

This study found that fermenting porcine and equine placentas with a specific lactic acid bacterial strain enhanced the moisturizing abilities and cell proliferation properties compared to traditional placental extracts, suggesting their potential for cosmetic applications.

This study investigated the effects of different relaxer treatments on African-American hair, finding lab-made relaxer solutions caused less damage to hair topography than commercial systems.

This study developed a degradable and bioactive citrate-based polyurethane adhesive that achieves rapid and strong tissue adhesion, exhibiting improved bonding strength in wet environments, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and hemostatic properties, with potential to enhance wound healing by promoting angiogenesis.

This study found that in Lichen Planopilaris, the Microbacteriaceae family was negatively correlated with IL-23 expression, suggesting a role in the disease's inflammation and microbiota composition.

In this study, formulations of a typical lotion shampoo with ethanol or propylene glycol increased the in-vitro release rate of zinc pyrithione, an anti-dandruff agent.

This study concluded that erosive lichen sclerosus is a distinct subtype marked by red patches on hairless skin, while ulcerated lichen sclerosus typically results from trauma in uncontrolled dermatosis.

In this study, patients with treatment-refractory alopecia areata who received oral ritlecitinib 50 mg daily experienced significant hair regrowth, with 52.6% achieving complete scalp regrowth and improved Severity of Alopecia Tool scores, indicating its potential effectiveness in real-world settings.

This case report describes a 25-year-old woman with widespread lichen planus who did not respond to multiple systemic treatments, including antihistamines, hydroxychloroquine sulfate, and corticosteroids.

In this randomized controlled trial, oral intake of the probiotic Latilactobacillus curvatus LB-P9 significantly improved hair luster, elasticity, and participant satisfaction in individuals with mild to moderate hair damage compared to placebo, without significant adverse effects reported.

This review discusses lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles for dermatological applications, outlining their structural and formulation advancements, but reports no new clinical results and calls for further research on their therapeutic potential.

A nonchemical lotion was found effective in killing head lice and their eggs in most people, indicating it could be useful for managing head lice.

In this study, researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of 16 cases of erosive palmoplantar lichen planus in North East India, finding a higher prevalence in pediatric and male patients, with common clinical features including plantar involvement and histopathological indicators such as basal cell degeneration.

This case report describes a 10-year-old girl with lamellar ichthyosis who showed marked improvement in scaling and skin stiffness after six weeks of treatment with emollient and supportive therapy.

This case report describes a 69-year-old woman who developed drug-induced acquired ichthyosis related to ponatinib therapy, which improved upon stopping the medication.

In this study, researchers found that alpha-keratin homologs similar to those in mammalian hair are present in the claws of the lizard Anolis carolinensis, suggesting a structural role during claw formation.

This study concluded that etretinate showed only moderate effects in treating lichen sclerosus and localized scleroderma, with some patients experiencing clearing but others having no resolution or lesion progression.

This abstract lists numerous dermatological side effects and reactions associated with various medications but reports no new research findings.

An 8-year-old girl developed a rare skin condition in a linear pattern on one side of her body after a lung infection, which improved with treatment.

In this study, daily treatment with ritlecitinib for up to 24 months led to significant reductions in high-severity alopecia areata SALT scores among patients aged ≥12 years, including those with severe forms such as alopecia totalis and universalis.
