This case report highlights lichen planus pigmentosus in a 60-year-old man, which was linked to previously undetected hepatitis C infection and liver cirrhosis, suggesting a need for hepatitis C testing in patients with similar dermatological manifestations.

This study reports that subtle presentations of lichen planopilaris may be mistaken for seborrheic dermatitis in patients with androgenetic alopecia, highlighting the importance of dermatoscopy-guided biopsy for accurate diagnosis.

This study found that patients with oral lichen planus and oral lichenoid reactions have higher levels of serum cholesterol and LDL-C than healthy individuals, suggesting a potential elevated risk for cardiovascular disease.

This chapter reviews when to perform linear-strip excision vs. follicular unit excision for hair loss surgery, noting their respective advantages and disadvantages, without presenting new clinical findings.

This case report highlights that dermatoscopy and histopathological analysis were crucial for accurately diagnosing Lichen Planopilaris in two patients, leading to a correct diagnosis after initial misdiagnoses.

This study found that cathepsin L deficiency in mice led to significant abnormalities in hair follicle development and cycling, including disrupted hair shaft outgrowth and premature hair growth phase entry.

This study found that cicatricial alopecia predominantly affects middle-aged Libyan females, with conditions like lichen planopilaris and discoid lupus erythematosus among the most common diagnoses.

This review explores the epidemiology, clinical subtypes, pathology, psychological impact, and treatment options for cutaneous lupus erythematosus, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and addressing psychological distress to optimize patient outcomes.

This study found that elagolix treatment did not normalize the ovulatory cycle in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome.

This case report describes a 43-year-old man who developed lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei after discontinuation of cyclosporine A post-stem cell transplantation, successfully treated with oral isotretinoin and topical tacrolimus.

Discoid lupus erythematosus involves immune activation and fibrosis around hair follicles, with shared pathways across humans, dogs, and mice, suggesting potential treatments for both humans and animals.

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 study found that integrating Lactobacillus-rich probiotic nutrition and fractional CO₂ laser therapy with clotrimazole in mucoadhesive hydrogels significantly improved clinical and structural outcomes for women with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis, suggesting a promising advanced therapy, though further validation in larger trials is needed.

Scarring alopecia involves increased immune cells and specific gene changes near damaged hair follicles.

This article reviews clinical and histopathological aspects of cutaneous lupus erythematosus and its treatment, emphasizing the importance of photoprotection and outlining current therapies, but reports no new experimental results.

The laser therapy device effectively increased hair growth in people with androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, researchers found that inhibiting IKKα in patient-derived CCS tumour models reduces tumour viability, supporting the potential for topical IKKα inhibitors as a treatment for CCS.

This article discusses flexural follicular lichen planus and reports no new clinical findings.

This article describes the first reported case of isolated linear discoid lupus erythematosus on the scalp, suggesting it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of linear scarring alopecia.

This study found a significant relationship between lash ptosis severity and marginal reflex distance, levator function, and double fold presence in Asian patients, which may inform surgical planning for upper eyelid procedures.

This study demonstrated that regular use of LactoSporin cream for 10 weeks significantly reduced wrinkles and fine lines in healthy female participants, although improvements in skin elasticity and hydration were not significantly better than placebo when measured by certain instruments.

Tumescent local anesthesia is a safe, cost-effective method for outpatient liposuction.

This study investigates the potential role of the corticotropin-releasing hormone system in the pathogenesis of lichen planus but does not report new clinical results, emphasizing the need for further exploration.

This study found that using layer-by-layer encapsulation techniques on dermal papilla cells can support their function and may help treat hair loss when used in conjunction with freshly isolated epidermal cells.

In this study, researchers developed a new photoactivatable Cre recombinase mouse model, DiLiCre, which allows precise light-induced genetic modifications and cell tracing, demonstrating its effectiveness for advancing biological and biomedical research.

Combined carboxytherapy and minoxidil 20% may help treat Lichen planopilaris.

This study introduced laser-assisted exosome delivery and observed early signs of clinical improvement in two patients, though causality cannot be inferred from these preliminary, uncontrolled cases.

This study describes a distinct variant of lupus panniculitis in East Asians, characterized by reversible, linear alopecia along Blaschko’s lines on the scalp, without systemic lupus erythematosus associations.

Both LNG-IUD and systemic progestins are effective for fertility-sparing treatment, but close monitoring is needed due to recurrence risk.

In this study, a retrospective analysis at Erasmus University Medical Center found that methotrexate and cyclosporine A may be most effective for lichen planopilaris and cyclosporine A and retinoids for frontal fibrosing alopecia, although side effects were a concern.
