This case report describes an 8-year-old male with tinea capitis and Trichorrhexis invaginata, who showed significant improvement after treatment with oral micronized griseofulvin.

In this study, researchers found a significant decrease in the modulus of elasticity of hair shafts in premature neonates compared to full-term ones, potentially due to differences in disulphide bonds or microfibril arrangement.

This case report documents a novel occurrence of bilateral trichomegaly with alopecia areata in a healthy 3-year-old girl, without known underlying health conditions or medication use.

This case study describes a rare instance of a Granulosa‐Theca cell tumor causing sexual precocity in a 12-month-old infant, with significantly reduced estradiol levels following tumor removal.

In this study, zinc toxicosis in infant baboons was attributed to excessive environmental exposure, highlighting the importance of cage design in captivity and potential use of baboons as a developmental model.

This study found dependencies between genetic variants and various phenotypes related to fetal and early childhood growth and neurological development in healthy infants, suggesting significant gene candidates for further investigation.

In this study, scalp biopsies from HJMD patients revealed histological similarities to chronic telogen effluvium and highlighted the role of CDH3 mutations disrupting normal hair cycles.

This study observed that hair zinc concentration in normal infants decreased from birth to eight months before rising again at twelve months, with lower levels associated with hair loss and diaper rash.

A fungal infection can look like a different scalp condition in teens, leading to wrong treatment until proper tests are done.

This report describes a rare case of scalp kerion due to microsporosis in a Portuguese child, noting the unusual combination with other microsporid features and treatment details.

This study found that histidine decarboxylase is crucial for the hair-inducing ability of newborn mouse dermal cells, with its expression significantly decreasing in the first few days after birth.

This case report describes a boy with hypothalamic hamartoma experiencing pubertas precox and gelastic seizures, where leuprorelin therapy's effect on pubertas precox was controversial, but valproic acid effectively managed gelastic seizures.

This case report describes a rare instance of tinea capitis in a 19-year-old male, initially misdiagnosed as dissecting cellulitis, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis to prevent scarring alopecia.

Hair shaft malformation contributes to Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia.

This case report identifies a novel CDH3 gene mutation associated with hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy in a 13-year-old Turkish girl, highlighting implications for future genetic analysis and counseling.

This literature review highlights the changing epidemiology of tinea capitis due to global migration and underscores the importance of early recognition and treatment of atypical variants in immunocompetent children to minimize prolonged systemic antifungal therapy and prevent adverse events, especially regarding liver health.

This case report details a rare instance of a giant cellular blue nevus on the scalp, highlighting its potential to damage underlying bone and hair follicles, alongside a separate alopecia areata lesion successfully treated with topical corticosteroid.

This case report identified a 6-month-old girl with congenital generalized hypertrichosis and gingival hyperplasia, where a de novo CNV on chromosome 17q24.2-24.3 was associated with reduced expression of ABCA5 and SOX9.

This study found that inhibiting the 5alpha-reductase 2 pathway in male rats affects brain sexual differentiation and leads to reproductive changes, including increased pre-implantation loss despite unchanged copulatory potential.

This case report describes a rare instance of dissecting cellulitis of the scalp in a White child, which is uncommon in pediatric cases and presented challenges in diagnosis and treatment.

This case report describes a rare and atypical presentation of primary hypothyroidism with myxedema in a two-year-old boy, highlighting the importance of recognizing unusual symptoms for timely treatment.

This review discusses atypical presentations of Brauer nevus, particularly in occipital and mid-frontal areas, and reports a higher occurrence in males, with detection usually at birth.

This study found a strong dose-related increase in the risk of intracranial meningiomas associated with high doses of cyproterone acetate, with some reduction in risk after stopping the treatment.

This case report suggests that a Penicillium species might have been the causative agent of tinea capitis in a 3-year-old boy.

In this study, the authors emphasize the importance of not ignoring the partial presence of comma or harpin hairs and black spots when identifying early lesions of tinea capitis, which may initially be overlooked due to their small size.

This study found that patients with Bachmann-Bupp syndrome treated with DFMO showed improvements in hair growth, muscle tone, and development.

Early treatment of scalp infections can prevent permanent hair loss.

In this study, young adult male albino rats treated with finasteride showed a 10% reduction in thickness of the CA1 layer of the hippocampus, suggesting that this atrophy may contribute to memory impairments linked to Post-Finasteride Syndrome.
