This case report describes a 50-year-old man with folliculotropic mycosis fungoides stage IB, noting trichoscopic findings like dilated follicular openings, black dots, and dystrophic hairs, which are less commonly documented in this condition, suggesting trichoscopy could aid in early diagnosis.

This study suggests that the expression patterns of keratin and filaggrin indicate milia may originate from the outermost cells of the hair bulge in the outer root sheath.

This study found that chromosomal microarray analysis identified copy number variations in 12% of patients with dysmorphic features and congenital anomalies, demonstrating its potential as a diagnostic tool, especially for rare CNVs and immune deficiency linked to the deletion of CTLA4.

This study reports that dermoscopy can improve the diagnosis of epidermal cysts by making small puncta visible, which are often missed during standard visual examinations.

This study found that a single ablative fractional laser treatment significantly reduced hedgehog pathway gene expression in microscopic murine basal cell carcinomas, nearly matching the effects of repeated topical vismodegib applications.

This study found that children with COVID-19 experienced more frequent acral ischemic lesions, whereas telogen effluvium was the most common skin manifestation in adults.

This study reported no Cx30 expression in normal interfollicular human epidermis and minimal expression in some skin structures, with faint detection in porokeratosis of Mibelli patient skin.

This study found that monilethrix in three unrelated European families is linked to the type II keratin gene cluster on chromosome 12q13, with no evidence of defects in type I keratins.

This report describes a 7-year-old girl with monilethrix who showed significant improvement while on acitretin treatment, but symptoms returned after stopping the medication.

This study provides new insights into the identification and expression patterns of miRNAs in wool follicles, which could improve understanding of wool follicle development in sheep.

This paper reports a rare case of focal mucinosis in a 58-year-old woman's eyelid, initially resembling a nevus, successfully treated with surgical excision with no recurrence over a three-year follow-up.

This report discusses a teenager with blistering of localized epidermolysis bullosa simplex—Weber Cockayne type, recommending referral to dermatology, and includes no new clinical trials or broader conclusions.

Thorough clinical examination is crucial for diagnosing unusual alopecia.

This review discusses the clinical manifestations and genetic basis of pigmentary mosaicism, highlighting its varied phenotypic expressions, but reports no new clinical results.

This report describes a rare case of multiple trichofolliculomas on the face, which clinically resembled multiple trichoepitheliomas.

This study found that four microRNAs, which were significantly upregulated in balding hair follicle papilla cells, could play a role in the development of male pattern baldness.

This report provides the first microscopic description of pachyonychia congenita-associated alopecia, identifying a combination of histological features that might be unique to this condition.

In this study, reflectance confocal microscopy was used to diagnose periorificial dermatitis, revealing specific skin changes such as hair follicle dilatation, increased vascular density, and inflammation, which help distinguish it from similar conditions.

In this study, the authors observed that cell-mediated immune mechanisms may be involved in the pathogenesis of benign follicular mucinosis, based on the cellular and immunological characteristics of two patient cases.

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 introduces the term "hair matrix cyst" for a cyst with both pilomatricoma and epidermal cyst characteristics, highlighting its potential for misdiagnosis among similar skin conditions.

This study concluded that ordinary vitiligo may initially present as follicular leukoderma, with small white macules coalescing into larger patches as the disease progresses.

In this study, a mouse model of scarring alopecia demonstrated significantly reduced CD200R expression in affected skin, which may contribute to immune attacks on hair follicles.

This study identified molecular differences between dysplastic nevi and common melanocytic nevi, including altered keratinocyte differentiation, increased hair follicle-related molecule expression, and distinct immune microenvironment characteristics in dysplastic nevi.

In this case report, a 53-year-old woman with Little-Graham-Piccardi-Lassueur-Syndrome responded well to a treatment regimen of hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, and other therapies, effectively halting the progression of this rare dermatosis characterized by alopecia and hyperkeratotic eruptions.

The study concluded that a 'Swiss cheese' pattern in hair follicles is a useful sign for diagnosing alopecia areata.

In this case report, the researchers identified pathogenic compound heterozygous mutations in a young girl with lipoid proteinosis, noting her relatively mild symptoms and recommending genetic testing for early diagnosis and management of this rare condition.

In this study, lichen striatus was the most common linear dermatosis observed, with most lesions occurring along Blaschko’s lines, and histopathological evaluation often revealed different underlying conditions.
