This study found that azelaic acid entrapped in transethosomes exhibited enhanced antidermatophyte activity and improved treatment outcomes in guinea pig models of dermatophytosis compared to free azelaic acid.

This study reviewed medical records of tinea capitis patients at a clinic in Surabaya, finding that the condition predominantly affected young males and was often associated with contact with cats.

This study found that a herbal spray for treating bovine dermatophytosis was safe and economical, though conventional antifungal therapy had a higher cure rate.

This article discusses how modern lifestyle changes, such as stress and poor diet, contribute to hair loss in younger generations, with hair thinning often leading to alopecia; it emphasizes the need for hair root activation to promote hair growth and prevent loss.

This study reports a case of ringworm in a Chinchilla lanigera, attributed to stress and contact with canine material contaminated with Microsporum canis.

In this case report, an 8-year-old child with tinea capitis caused by Microsporum canis showed significant clinical and mycological improvement after a four-week course of oral griseofulvin, highlighting the importance of comprehensive diagnostic examinations to confirm the diagnosis and determine the best treatment.

This study concluded that coat damage in captive rhesus macaques is unlikely caused by parasitic, bacterial, or mycotic infections but may be linked to environmental or behavioral factors affecting hair growth.

This paper reviews the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory tinea capitis, highlighting the importance of laboratory confirmation and recommending griseofulvin as the gold standard treatment.

This study found that Quantitative Mass Spectrometry Imaging offers precise localization and quantification of active compounds in skin tissues, demonstrating benefits over traditional LC-MS in drug penetration studies.

This study at Mbarara University of Science and Technology found that T. violaceum is the most common cause of tinea capitis in children in Western Uganda, and systemic therapy is preferred over topical treatments for effective management due to the nature of the infection.

This case study reported that scalp dermoscopy, or trichoscopy, provided a useful noninvasive method to evaluate and confirm hair regrowth in a child treated for tinea capitis.

In this case-control study, the researchers found no significant association between IL-4 VNTR intron 3 and TNF-α (rs1799964) gene polymorphisms and alopecia areata susceptibility among the Egyptian population.

This study found trichoscopy to be a highly sensitive, non-invasive method for diagnosing tinea capitis in children, which could be valuable in resource-limited settings lacking mycological culture facilities.

This research outlines the significant morbidity and economic impact of dermatophytosis, a contagious fungal disease affecting skin, hair, and nails, with heightened severity in immune-compromised individuals and poor environmental conditions.

This study found that Teucrium polium L. subsp. geyrii Maire extract demonstrated a large safety margin in acute and subacute toxicity tests on mice and significantly enhanced wound healing in rats, especially with callus extract, by improving cell proliferation and wound contraction.

This study found that in the Thai population, hair density varies by scalp location and decreases with age, and that Asians generally have lower hair density compared to Caucasian and African populations.

This study found that trichoscopy is essential for evaluating the severity of alopecia areata and predicting treatment responses, contributing to more personalized patient management.

This study evaluated a new herbal shampoo made from traditional plants and found it to have effective cleansing properties, moderate foam stability, and environmental safety, suggesting it as a favorable natural alternative to synthetic shampoos.

This study formulated and evaluated a laboratory-scale herbal shampoo using natural ingredients like Ficus Religiosa and Aloevera, reporting good cleansing, froth stability, and ideal physicochemical properties, though further development is needed to enhance product performance and safety.

This study described clinical manifestations such as alopecia and hyperpigmentation in male dogs with hypoandrogenism, suggesting a need for further research on these endocrinopathies in animals.

This study found that NB-002 demonstrated clear antifungal activity and clinically significant nail clearing in subjects with distal subungual onychomycosis and ≤50% nail involvement, compared to a vehicle treatment.

This study documented that dermatophytosis was highly prevalent in Basra's cats, particularly affecting males and cats under nine months, with lesions most frequent on ears, face, and abdomen.

Auto-portraits help evaluate scalp hair.

This study reported that newly synthesized progesterone derivatives significantly reduced prostate weight in testosterone-treated hamsters, with 5alpha-reductase inhibitory activity dependent on the size of the substituent at C-17.

This article discusses suspected skin toxicity from drugs used to treat rheumatoid arthritis but reports no new clinical findings.

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

This study confirmed that the Alopecia Areata-Investigator Global Assessment and other clinical outcome assessments are valid and relevant measures of treatment success for alopecia areata patients in Japan, aligning with previous North American findings.

The study developed herbal shampoo formulations using isolated phytoconstituents, such as eugenol, rutin, menthol, and camphor, which demonstrated similar antifungal efficacy to ketoconazole but with improved safety and detergency, offering a promising alternative for managing seborrheic dermatitis.

In this preliminary study, selenium-resistant bacteria and selenium-treated pea sprout extracts showed minimal inhibitory effects on the dandruff-associated fungus Malassezia furfur compared to controls, suggesting potential for further investigation.

This study found that Galla chinensis solution significantly improved skin lesions and fungal eradication in dermatophytosis-infected dogs, showing over 85% efficacy in fungal removal after 14 days and outperforming the positive control treatment.
