This case report describes two siblings with gray patch tinea capitis, highlighting exposure to cats and inappropriate corticosteroid use as risk factors, and treatment with griseofulvin and terbinafine.

In this case report, a novel missense mutation c.1360G>C (p.Ala454Pro) in the MBTPS2 gene was identified in a boy with typical IFAP syndrome and severe atopic features, although no phenotype/genotype correlation was established.

This case report details an extremely low-birth-weight preterm neonate presenting with unique dermatologic symptoms, leading to a diagnosis of neonatal inflammatory skin and bowel disease due to a novel homozygous EGFR gene mutation, highlighting the importance of genetic testing in ambiguous cases.

This study reports that a homozygous A1103G mutation in DSG 4 is responsible for localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis in a 2-year-old Chinese girl, resulting in reduced DSG 4 expression and hair defects.

This case report describes a 5-year-old boy who developed generalized hypertrichosis after using 3% topical minoxidil for alopecia areata, which resolved six months after discontinuation.

This case report found that dermoscopy, showing characteristic "comma" and "corkscrew" hairs, effectively identified tinea capitis in a 7-year-old girl, allowing for early treatment before confirmation with fungal culture.

In this study, a photographic scale and questionnaire revealed that extensive central scalp hair loss was observed in 5.6% of African American women, with an association to a history of tinea capitis.

A new mouse mutation causes skin and hair issues, influenced by another gene.

This review discusses the challenges in diagnosing tinea capitis and highlights the need for laboratory confirmation and systemic treatment due to the limited effectiveness of topical antifungals; no new clinical results are presented.

This study observed that melanocytes in the outer root sheath of fetal scalp hair follicles may act as stem cells, showing rapid proliferation but immature function and morphology in culture.

This case report describes an eight-year-old Kashmiri boy diagnosed with monilethrix, a rare genetic hair disorder, characterized by a beaded appearance and fragility of the hair shaft.

This study in mice suggests that defects in hair follicles with mesenchymal TSC2 disruption may result from an impaired TGFβ1 response, indicating a potential novel treatment approach for tuberous sclerosis complex.

In this study, researchers describe a rare case of trichoepitheliomas in a 7-year-old boy, characterized by multiple skin lesions in a Blaschko-linear pattern, hypothesizing it as a type 1 segmental mosaicism without detected CYLD gene mutations.

This study found that in patch- and plaque-stage scalp psoriasis, sebaceous gland atrophy and reduced hair follicle size were common but there was no evidence of alopecia.

This case report details an unusual instance of multiple eruptive milia in an otherwise healthy 3-month-old baby, characterized by widespread distribution and believed to be idiopathic due to the absence of associated genodermatoses.

This article reviews the theory that certain cultural practices, like specific haircuts, contribute to common baldness but reports no new clinical findings.

This case study suggests that early or significant alopecia in young adults may warrant investigation for underlying congenital conditions like trichorhinophalangeal syndrome.

This report describes a case of secondary cutis verticis gyrata due to a cerebriform intradermal nevus, highlighting clinical management and screening guidelines.

This study found that horizontal sections of scalp biopsies in patients with Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia often reveal follicular miniaturization, inflammation, and scarring, which can guide personalized treatment.

In this study, mutations in the CDH3 gene were identified as the cause of hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy, and the researchers observed substantial phenotypic variability among affected individuals.

This case report highlights the severe manifestations of early congenital syphilis and underscores the crucial need for early diagnosis and treatment to improve outcomes in affected infants.

This study identified two novel mutations in the CDH3 gene causing HJMD in a Chinese patient, expanding the genetic and phenotypic understanding of the disorder.

MRI helps distinguish between pituitary adenomas and craniopharyngiomas, guides treatment for pediatric CNS tumors, and assesses rhinocerebral mucormycosis with a high mortality rate in transplanted patients.

This study utilized polarized light microscopy to examine hair shafts in ten children with rare genetic disorders, such as Netherton syndrome and ectodermal dysplasia, providing valuable diagnostic insights into hair thickness, composition, and structural irregularities associated with these conditions.

This case report found that the most likely cause of the patient's seizures and brain tumor was prior radiation exposure, with seizures managed effectively using intravenous lorazepam and subsequent treatment for the brain mass.

In this case report, the researchers detailed an older man with seborrheic dermatitis-like tinea capitis caused by *Trichophyton rubrum*, highlighting the condition's potential for misdiagnosis and emphasizing the importance of timely mycological examinations and antifungal treatment.

In this study, tinea capitis was identified as the most common cause of noncicatricial alopecia in children, followed by alopecia areata and marginal traction alopecia. Diagnosis using trichoscopy enhanced understanding by revealing specific hair and scalp disorder characteristics.

In this study, researchers presented cases of cellular neurothekeoma in three male family members with early-onset in infancy, suggesting a potential genetic component and inheritance pattern, which deviates from the typical presentation seen mostly in women between 20–30 years.
