In this case report, folliculitis decalvans with frontal fibrosing alopecia was observed in a patient with a dark phototype, highlighting the phenotypic spectrum of folliculitis decalvans and lichen planopilaris.

In this prospective observational study of 96 dermatomyositis patients, 47 showed scalp involvement, with significant symptoms like scalp inflammation, itching, and hair loss linked to myositis-specific antibodies. The study highlighted unique dermatopathological features in the scalp and emphasized the considerable morbidity caused by scalp dermatomyositis.

In this case report, a 74-year-old woman initially diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia was later found to have secondary alopecia neoplastica due to morpheaform basal cell carcinoma of the scalp, illustrating the importance of recognizing subtle clinical features to prevent delayed treatment and potential local destruction.

This study found that limb hair loss in frontal fibrosing alopecia is inflammatory and permanent, but lacks the classic scarring features seen in scalp alopecia, prompting potential misdiagnosis as alopecia areata.

Results are not reported in this abstract, which outlines research investigating why diabetic mice experience suppressed hair follicle stem cell activation, potentially contributing to chronic diabetic wounds.

This study found that different stressors causing premature senescence in fibroblasts resulted in distinct changes in lipid profiles, particularly sphingolipids, which may affect the behavior of senescent skin cells.

In this study, researchers found that in mouse models of alopecia areata, the expression of immune-regulating molecules PD-L1 and PD-L2 in dermal fibroblasts is increased by activated T cells, potentially indicating a lack of negative immune control in affected skin.

Hair loss on the lower legs is common in middle-aged men, usually harmless, and doesn't need treatment.

This study found that removing PPARγ specifically from mouse adipose tissue led to severe fat loss, insulin resistance, diabetes, and associated metabolic abnormalities.

This study highlights a close link between metabolic syndrome, characterized by conditions like obesity and hypertension, and various inflammatory skin diseases, suggesting that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a key role in their pathogenesis and could be a target for new therapies.

This review discusses canine dermatomyositis, highlighting its genetic basis, clinical manifestations, and the need for improved treatment options, without reporting new findings.

This study found that dermoscopy improves clinical diagnosis accuracy for trichostasis spinulosa and proposes a new dermoscopic classification with implications for treatment outcomes.

This review discusses different forms and patterns of alopecia associated with lupus erythematosus and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight distinct features of these conditions.

This review evaluated the evidence on skin disorders linked to levodopa treatment for Parkinson's disease, suggesting a possible association with melanoma, though evidence remains inconclusive and further studies are needed.

Two elderly men developed scalp inflammation after using a gel for skin lesions, which healed with treatment except for some permanent hair loss.

In this case report, a 4-year-old Indian girl with linear and annular lupus panniculitis of the scalp achieved complete remission and hair regrowth with oral corticosteroids, showing no relapse after 6 months of follow-up.

This report presents two cases of systemic lupus in male patients with a distinct form of alopecia that combines both scarring and non-scarring elements, highlighting the variability in lupus-related hair loss presentations.

This review discusses the spectrum of lupus erythematosus conditions, specifically focusing on the different forms of Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus, and reports no clinical results.

This study found that patients with discoid lupus erythematosus have a high prevalence of systemic, cardiometabolic, endocrine, and psychiatric comorbidities, with significant associations to conditions such as cardiovascular disease and depression.

In this study, a case of lichen amyloidosis on the scalp significantly improved with a 2-month topical treatment using clobetasol propionate/all-trans retinoic acid ointment.

This review discusses the skin manifestations of metabolic diseases like diabetes and gout, emphasizing their role in diagnosis and monitoring, but it presents no new research findings.

This case report describes a 33-year-old woman with long-standing scalp issues and hair loss, revealing an unusual connection to past melanoma, but it presents no new research results.

In this case report, a 22-year-old female was diagnosed with follicular Dowling-Degos disease based on clinical and histological findings, with symptoms including skin lesions confined to hair follicles. The report emphasizes the importance of differentiating this rare variant from similar conditions for proper management.

This review discusses the associations between dermatological disorders and increased cardiovascular risk, emphasizing that skin conditions with chronic inflammation may elevate the likelihood of cardiovascular diseases.

This study details the successfully treated case of a 16-year-old girl with congenital alopecia due to encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis, resulting in high patient satisfaction after hair restoration.

This study found that mice lacking REDD1 experienced an expansion of dermal white adipose tissue through both hypertrophy and hyperplasia, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for skin adipogenesis regulation.

This article reviews how skin manifestations can aid in diagnosing various systemic diseases, focusing primarily on their association with rheumatologic conditions while also addressing vascular, granulomatous, and other disease impacts, aiming to provide dermatologists with practical diagnostic insights.

This review discusses the similarities between myotonic dystrophy and aging, highlighting the role of cellular senescence in its pathophysiology, and reports no new clinical findings; the authors note potential anti-aging therapy applications.

This case study reports that a 26-year-old woman with epidermolysis bullosa prurogompsa also presented with unique findings of co-existing muscular dystrophy and immune-based myasthenia gravis, with significant improvement following steroid treatment.
