In this case study, a 34-year-old woman with a rare presentation of pilomatrixoma involving alopecia and skin hypopigmentation showed no improvement in these symptoms despite a 3-month trial of topical steroid treatment, highlighting a potential association between pilomatrixoma and microinflammation.

This report describes two rare cases of desmoplastic melanoma presenting as alopecia neoplastica, highlighting a potential diagnostic pitfall for clinicians examining patients with scar-like alopecia.

In this study, lower serum adiponectin levels and altered lipid profiles were observed in patients with periorbital melanosis, suggesting an association with metabolic syndrome.

A machine learning model can predict scarring in lichen planopilaris using factors like vitamin D levels and diagnostic delay.

This case report describes a 27-year-old female with systemic lupus erythematosus who presented with chilblain lupus erythematosus and melanonychia striata, emphasizing the rarity of such presentations in SLE patients.

This study reviewed cases of Graham–Little-Piccardi–Lassueur syndrome and found that topical treatments were generally ineffective, while systemic therapies like prednisone, hydroxychloroquine, and isotretinoin led to partial hair regrowth and disease stabilization, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and systemic therapy to improve outcomes.

This study suggests that decreased PPARgamma function may trigger the pathogenesis of lichen planopilaris, and PPARgamma-targeted therapy could be a potential treatment method.

ZNF750 and MPZL3 are important in causing seborrheic dermatitis.

This case study reports a patient with Rothmund-Thomson type congenital poikiloderma, showing primarily skin changes and hair loss, along with slightly elevated lysine and cystine levels in urine.

In this case report, a 13-year-old boy was diagnosed with a rare variant of cutaneous sarcoidosis presenting as Lichen Planus Pigmentosus-like hyperpigmentation, highlighting the diagnostic challenges associated with identifying uncommon manifestations of this disease.

This case report describes a patient with mucous membrane pemphigoid who experienced recurrent blisters and cicatricial alopecia, showing improvement with prednisolone and dapsone treatment.

This case report highlights that scarring alopecia with features of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and lichen planopilaris can occur in patients with a COL7A1 mutation, emphasizing the need to recognize concurrent inflammatory causes.

In this study, Wang et al. (2022) found that in patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus, chronic lesions contained more senescent progenitor cells, marked by p16 and p21, than subacute lesions, suggesting a link between disease chronicity and cellular senescence.

In this case study, a 46-year-old woman with localized discoid lupus erythematosus on her scalp showed significant improvement with a combination of oral hydroxychloroquine and topical pimecrolimus, despite limited success with previous treatments.

This review examines the trichoscopic characteristics of scalp DLE and LPP, correlating these findings with histopathological data, but provides no new clinical results.

This study reviewed the genetic and phenotypic aspects of Olmsted syndrome, highlighting pathogenic mutations in TRPV3 and MBTPS2 genes and their association with specific skin manifestations like symmetrical keratoderma and hyperkeratotic plaques.

This case report describes a 56-year-old man with late-onset systemic lupus erythematosus where digital gangrene was an initial manifestation, highlighting its rarity as a primary sign.

This abstract discusses the prevalence and forms of lichen planopilaris, a type of scarring hair loss, but reports no new clinical findings.
