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

This article reviews the pathogenesis, complications, and management of lichen planus, especially its persistent oral form, and highlights the need for further prospective studies.

This review explores low-level light therapy's potential as a noninvasive treatment for various forms of alopecia, noting its promising results in hair regrowth and density but highlighting the need for standardized protocols and further research.

This study found that ultraviolet light-enhanced visualization can detect subtle skin changes linked to carotene and vitamin A deficiency, which improved with dietary correction in deficient individuals.

This study provides one of the first descriptions of the demographic, clinical, and therapeutic characteristics of lichen planopilaris in Chilean adults, reporting that treatment usually reduced or halted disease progression.

In this study, researchers suggested that adipose-derived exosomes could be a promising treatment option for lichen planopilaris, particularly in cases resistant to standard therapies, by potentially aiding in symptom management and hair preservation.

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

This report details two cases of Lichen spinulosus in the submental area, treated effectively and safely with topical tacalcitol cream.

In this study, researchers observed that low levels of fucose-binding lectin staining characterize limbal epithelial progenitor cells, which maintain a high proliferative capacity and may be enhanced by inhibiting fucosylation, offering insights for regenerative therapy of the limbal stem cell niche.

This study found that using dual-wavelength low-level laser therapy is more effective for hair regrowth in mice than single-wavelength treatment and significantly better than no treatment, based on 14 days of phototherapy with LED lights.

This case report details a 12-year-old boy with Lichen Spinulosus and plantar keratoderma, who responded well to topical treatments including lactic acid, urea, and betamethasone valerate.

This study found that ingesting Lactobacillus paracasei HY7015 and Lycopus lucidus Turcz. extract promoted hair regrowth and follicle maturation in mice by enhancing cytoprotective effects and growth factor expression.

The study reported that mice receiving dynamized Melatonin 6 cH and Lissotriton 6 cH for 14 days exhibited improved coat health and increased endurance in forced swimming tests, with Melatonin-treated mice swimming 2.5 times longer and Lissotriton-treated mice 4 times longer than controls.

This case report describes a rare instance of lichen planus preceding vitiligo in a 13-year-old boy, suggesting a non-coincidental association between the two conditions.

This review highlights the potential benefits of low-level light therapy for treating various alopecias, with reported improvements in hair density and count, especially when combined with minoxidil or finasteride, but it offers no new clinical results.

This research observed that multifocal pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia may explain some cases of squamous nests in vulvar lichen sclerosus with lichen simplex chronicus, potentially as a reaction to tissue damage rather than squamous cell carcinoma.

In this study, a patient with lichen planopillaris experienced complete resolution of itching and hair shedding following treatment with a new platelet-rich plasma regimen, marking the first reported success in this context.

This research reports that multilamellar phospholipid liposomes showed the highest follicular penetration of a water-soluble dye in vitro compared to other cosmetic vehicles, suggesting potential benefits for enhancing hair conditioning and treating hair loss.

Low-level light therapy significantly increased hair density and thickness in people with hair loss, but they didn't notice a difference.

This study discusses clinical cases of Lichen Planopilaris in men that were initially misdiagnosed and inadequately treated, resulting in significant irreversible hair loss.

Lichen planus pigmentosus and fibrosing frontal alopecia in Colombia are likely different stages of the same disease.

This study found that exposing seasonally anestrous mares to extended light periods led to the earlier onset of endocrinologically normal estrous cycles, potentially allowing earlier breeding and foaling.

This case report describes a 41-year-old woman with segmental vitiligo and lichen sclerosus in the perineal region, where treatment with clobetasol ointment improved repigmentation and resolved many symptoms, although some scaling persisted.

This report details a case where diffuse lichen planopilaris and female pattern hair loss in a 32-year-old woman mimicked diffuse alopecia areata, highlighting the diagnostic value of dermoscopy-guided biopsies and the importance of timely treatment to prevent disease progression.

In a study reviewing 291 patients with lichen planopilaris, findings revealed that women were more commonly affected than men, cyclosporine and methotrexate were most effective in achieving remission, and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and systemic retinoids were particularly beneficial for frontal fibrosing alopecia.

This report documents the second known case of Castleman's disease in the lacrimal gland, diagnosed in an 84-year-old woman through histological examination after excising a left upper lid mass.

This report describes a unique case of dyschromatosis universalis in a 10-year-old Haitian male, notable for the presence of a silvery sheen to his scalp hairs and eyelashes, which may represent a variation of the condition.

This case report describes a patient with lichen planopilaris who experienced remarkable hair regrowth at a previously scarred area after treatment with low-dose naltrexone and platelet-rich plasma, following minimal response to other therapies.

In an animal study, researchers observed that simvastatin and Luteolin significantly increased hair growth and reduced hair loss in male mice, with improvements linked to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
