This study found that trichoscopy is an effective noninvasive technique for diagnosing frontal fibrosing alopecia, confirming its valuable role alongside traditional histopathological examination.

In this observational study, dermoscopy was found to be a useful tool in diagnosing lichen planopilaris among patients with primary cicatricial alopecia.

This article discusses contact dermatitis linked to alopecia and hyperpigmentation, but it reports no new clinical results.

Some people with primary cicatricial alopecia also have inflammatory bowel disease, suggesting a possible connection.

Examining scalp biopsies in different ways helps better diagnose hair loss types.

This meta-analysis found a strong association between metabolic syndrome and certain skin diseases, including psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, androgenetic alopecia, and lichen planus, suggesting increased risk compared to the general population.

This article reviews historical uses of the term "lupus" for various skin disorders but provides no new clinical findings.

This study found that lichen planopilaris in men typically presents similarly to women, with a lower likelihood of nonscalp hair loss and a higher association with mucosal lichen planus and thyroid disease.

This study reports the first known case of oral lichen planus preceding lichen planopilaris in a patient, highlighting a possible sequential relationship between the conditions.

This study suggests that Janus kinase inhibitors may offer a potential treatment option for refractory lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, showing positive response rates between 42% and 100%, though evidence quality is low.

Treating primary cicatricial alopecia is difficult and requires evidence-based methods.

This study suggests a potential role for S100A7 and IL-17 in the pathogenesis of lichen planopilaris.

In this study, low-dose naltrexone significantly reduced erythema in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris after one year, but no significant improvements were seen in other symptoms.

This study found that testosterone replacement in castrated male rats counteracted endotoxemia-induced arterial baroreflex dysfunction without significantly affecting neuroinflammation.

This study documented that discoid lupus erythematosus was the most common cause of alopecia among patients at a dermatology outpatient clinic in Nigeria from 2014 to 2019.

The document explains the genetic causes and characteristics of inherited hair disorders.

The study suggests that immune privilege collapse in bulge cells and the involvement of pro-inflammatory cytokine interferon-γ contribute to hair follicle stem cell loss in lichen planopilaris.

This review discusses skin appendages like hair and nails as indicators of local and systemic pathologies, emphasizing conditions such as inflammatory diseases and infections, but reports no new clinical findings.

An 8-year-old girl developed a rare skin condition in a linear pattern on one side of her body after a lung infection, which improved with treatment.

In this case study, a woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia and associated hyperpigmentation showed significant improvement in skin pigmentation and itch after 9 months of treatment with mycophenolate mofetil, highlighting its therapeutic potential for lichen planus pigmentosus linked to this condition.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of lichen planopilaris in a nine-year-old child, emphasizing the need for awareness of this condition in the pediatric population.

This review discusses frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting its frequent misdiagnosis and highlighting the need for larger studies to better understand its epidemiology, causes, and treatment options; it reports no new clinical findings.

This case report by the researchers observed a complete remission of lichen planopilaris in a 58-year-old woman after treatment with the JAK-1 inhibitor abrocitinib, although they noted that concurrent topical therapy might have contributed to this outcome.

This study found that tofacitinib significantly improved disease activity in most patients with LPP, though further research is needed to refine protocols, understand response predictors, and address gender-specific adverse effects.

This article discusses the importance of early recognition of LPP due to its significant aesthetic and psychosocial effects and calls for efforts to prevent misdiagnosis.

This study reports that inflammatory complications, like lichen planopilaris, can occur after hair transplantation for androgenetic alopecia, despite being rare.
