This article reviews the classification, pathogenesis, and treatment options for cutaneous lupus erythematosus and reports no new clinical findings.

This study concluded that dermoscopy enhances the diagnostic capability for cicatricial alopecia beyond clinical inspection and identified novel dermoscopic features such as blue-grey dots.

This article discusses revised SLE classification criteria by the SLICC and reports no new research results.

This study found that cicatricial alopecia in the Libyan community primarily affects middle-aged individuals, especially women, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to reduce its impact.

This chapter reviews trichoscopic features of primary cicatricial alopecias, particularly lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, and reports no new results.

This case report highlighted an instance of lichen spinulosus emerging as a new cutaneous sequela in a boy following toxic epidermal necrolysis, responding to treatment with ammonium lactate.

This case report describes a 68-year-old woman diagnosed with chronic cutaneous lupus, characterized by irregular plaques with distinct pigmentation and scarring alopecia, confirmed through histopathology revealing specific skin changes.

A 70-year-old woman with a rare skin condition improved after treatment with topical steroids and acitretin.

This study found that low-intensity light therapy improved quality of life related to emotional, psychosocial, and symptom domains in individuals with androgenic alopecia, with a greater impact observed in women.

This meta-analysis found that laser-based therapies showed promising clinical benefits in treating scarring alopecias, such as disease stabilization and symptom improvement, but highlighted the need for high-quality randomized controlled trials due to serious risk of bias and methodological limitations in existing studies.

This study reports three cases of alopecia areata resistant to corticosteroids that improved after 16 weeks of treatment with a combination of fractional carbon dioxide laser and topical tacrolimus, suggesting a potential new therapeutic option that requires further confirmation.

This report describes two cases of cutaneous lupus erythematosus mimicking alopecia areata, highlighting the importance of considering CLE in the diagnosis of patchy hair loss to prevent scarring alopecia.

This study observed that five cases of primary cicatricial alopecia showed an excellent response to a combination of oral zinc and long-pulsed Nd:YAG 1064-nm laser treatment, suggesting this approach may be beneficial for certain types of this condition.

This review examines cell-based therapies for limbal stem cell deficiency, highlighting epidermal and hair follicle-derived stem cells as promising candidates for future clinical trials, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study retrospectively analyzed 945 patients with head and neck cSCC to identify risk factors for recurrences, reporting treatment modality, tumor characteristics, and patient factors such as immunosuppression as strong predictors for loco-regional recurrences.

This study found that the new SLICC classification criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus were more sensitive and resulted in fewer misclassifications than the current ACR criteria, although they had lower specificity.

This study identified biallelic variants in the LSS gene as a possible genetic cause of palmoplantar keratoderma-congenital alopecia syndrome type 2, highlighting the role of cholesterol synthesis in skin cornification.

People with primary cicatricial alopecia have a higher risk of heart disease and stroke.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of a lotion containing Larrea divaricata and Coffea arabica extracts in accelerating hair growth in women after chemotherapy, but it reports no results.

This review found that low-level laser therapy appears promising in improving hair regrowth and patient satisfaction in androgenetic alopecia, though results should be interpreted cautiously.

Low level laser therapy may help with hair loss.

This study found that using a low-level laser comb led to hair regrowth in a mouse model of alopecia areata, while sham-treated mice showed no hair regrowth.

This case series found that trichoscopy and biopsy of the scalp in individuals with skin of color identified concurrent lichen planopilaris and female androgenic alopecia, highlighting the importance of comprehensive scalp evaluation to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

In this case series, four African American women with treatment-resistant central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia showed scalp itch relief and significant hair regrowth after using a new botanical formula for 8 weeks to 1 year, with no adverse effects reported.

A woman's hair loss was correctly diagnosed as Lichen planopilaris after initial misdiagnosis, highlighting the usefulness of trichoscopy in diagnosing hair disorders.

This case series observed a potential familial link in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), suggesting a genetic predisposition that may be worsened by hair grooming practices.

Two patients had a rare combination of red skin spots and white scaly skin lesions not on the genitals.

This study, conducted at Montefiore Medical Center, reports that central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia predominantly affects middle-aged Black or African American women, often presenting without symptoms, which may delay diagnosis and treatment. The study underscores the need for a specific ICD-10 code for better epidemiological studies.

This review discusses the current evidence and highlights gaps in research needed for the wider acceptance of low-level laser therapy as a treatment for hair loss; no new clinical results are provided.

Low-Level Laser Therapy can stimulate healing and cell function, potentially leading to wider medical use.
