The Nd:YAG laser is a successful and safe way to treat ingrown and pincer nails.

Some people may temporarily lose more hair in certain areas after a hair transplant.

Mycophenolate mofetil may improve symptoms and stop hair loss in Lichen planopilaris, but more research is needed.

The study found that CK15 expression, representing hair follicle stem cell activity, was reduced or absent in scarred primary cicatricial alopecia lesions, suggesting stem cell damage may contribute to the scarring process.

This case study reports an unusual presentation of erosive lichen planus of the scalp linked to hepatitis C in a patient, highlighting challenges in establishing a definitive correlation between the two conditions.

Lichen planopilaris is a rare, chronic condition causing hair loss, mainly in middle-aged women, and early treatment is important to prevent permanent baldness.

This article reviews methotrexate's pharmacokinetics and toxicity, emphasizing the role of urinary excretion and leucovorin in avoiding most toxic reactions; it provides no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 26-year-old woman with chronic lupus erythematosus who did not improve after receiving eighty doses of gold and sodium thiosulphate.

This case report highlights the importance of trichoscopy in diagnosing fibrosing alopecia in pattern distribution, distinguishing it from female pattern hair loss, and guiding effective treatment.

This study found that frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris have similar histopathological features, but FFA exhibits more prominent apoptosis and less inflammation with spared interfollicular epidermis.

This study identified two distinct histological patterns in permanent alopecia following bone marrow transplantation, suggesting links to myeloablative chemotherapy and chronic graft-versus-host disease.

This review discusses lichen planopilaris in children and highlights its rarity, potential for misdiagnosis, and need for suspicion in atypical or treatment-resistant alopecia cases, but reports no new results.

In this case study, a 53-year-old female with multiple autoimmune symptoms was diagnosed with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease, confirmed by specific antibodies, and showed significant clinical improvement after one year of treatment.

The document concludes that clinicians should be aware of common hair and scalp disorders in women of African descent and that more research is needed to develop effective treatments.

This study observed that pigmented casts are present in various alopecia types but are not specific to any single diagnosis, with distinct morphological features noted in trichotillomania.

This study suggests that programmed cell death plays a crucial role in shaping the structure of the human epidermis and its appendages during development.

This review discusses skin-related toxicities associated with targeted cancer therapies and emphasizes the need for dermatologists to understand and manage these adverse effects, but reports no new experimental results.

This study reviewed clinical data from 60 patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia and found increasing prevalence and generally poor response to treatment, with the cause remaining unclear.

This extensive review discusses the clinical manifestations, potential associations, and treatment approaches for lichen planus, but reports no new clinical results, highlighting gaps in evidence for therapeutic strategies.

This review discusses the potential role of oxidative stress in hair graying and age-related alopecia, emphasizing the need for new strategies to counteract these effects, but reports no new results.

This study identified significant genetic associations with frontal fibrosing alopecia at four genomic loci, suggesting it is a genetically predisposed immuno-inflammatory disorder influenced by the HLA-B*07: 02 allele.

This review discusses evidence-based guidance for managing primary cicatricial alopecias but reports no new clinical results, highlighting significant gaps in knowledge and the need for more quality trials.

This review discusses the clinical, epidemiological, and pathophysiological aspects of female pattern hair loss, reporting no new research findings.

This case report describes the first known instance of fibrosing alopecia associated with cutaneous lichen planus, suggesting fibrosing alopecia may be a variant of lichen planopilaris.

This study found that the Verhoeff-Van Gieson stain effectively distinguishes scarred from non-scarred dermis and aids in classifying types of permanent alopecia based on elastic tissue patterns.

This review examines the adverse skin reactions associated with antipsychotic medications and reports no new clinical findings, but suggests discussing management strategies to improve patient compliance.

Some drugs can cause hair loss, and stopping these drugs often leads to hair regrowth.
