In this study, cicatricial alopecias were classified by inflammatory cell type and the researchers highlighted that primary cicatricial alopecia's exact causes remain unknown, accounting for 6% of all hair diseases despite its unclear prevalence.

In this study, researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of 16 cases of erosive palmoplantar lichen planus in North East India, finding a higher prevalence in pediatric and male patients, with common clinical features including plantar involvement and histopathological indicators such as basal cell degeneration.

In this case report, a 40-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus developed calcinosis cutis, a rare complication characterized by calcified deposits in her legs, requiring surgical intervention and ongoing medical treatment due to infection.

In this case study, a 46-year-old woman with tattoos and a history of hypothyroidism developed autoimmune-like symptoms, highlighting the importance of distinguishing ASIA syndrome from other immune disorders and assessing potential adjuvant exposure.

This case report highlights the importance of considering lupus pneumonitis as a differential diagnosis for respiratory symptoms in systemic lupus erythematosus, especially in areas endemic to tuberculosis.

This review suggests that GLP-1 receptor agonists may improve various dermatologic conditions, but larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.

This study found that adding cyclophosphamide to glucocorticoid treatment for pemphigus patients led to earlier remission, with 89.5% achieving remission within 4 months compared to 73.9% with glucocorticoids alone, suggesting significant steroid-sparing effects and improved clinical outcomes.

This case report details a 47-year-old female with atopic dermatitis who developed alopecia areata after six months on dupilumab therapy; treatment discontinuation and other interventions led to complete hair regrowth, suggesting dupilumab may trigger alopecia areata in patients with atopic or autoimmune predispositions.

This case report documented a 20-year-old male with alopecia areata who experienced slight hair regrowth following treatment with cyclosporine and methylprednisolone, highlighting the importance of individualized treatment plans and consideration of medication side effects.

In this review, researchers examined the concentration of cortisol in scalp hair of individuals with alopecia areata to explore its relationship with disease variables, as cortisol in hair can indicate chronic stress, which may impact alopecia areata pathogenesis.

In this veterinary study, uveodermatological syndrome in dogs was reported to cause skin depigmentation, alopecia, and eye issues such as granulomatous panuveitis, which leads to complications like cataracts and glaucoma; while immunosuppressive therapy often helps, recurrence and treatment side effects challenging therapeutic management.

In this case report, a 65-year-old woman with lichen planopilaris achieved stabilization of her condition through early recognition and systemic corticosteroid therapy, emphasizing the critical role of coordinated management between primary care and dermatology.

This study highlights that early detection and tailored treatment based on kidney biopsy classification are crucial in managing lupus nephritis to prevent progression to end-stage kidney disease, with a focus on saving nephron cells.

In this randomized controlled trial, researchers found that after six months of treatment, oral baricitinib was significantly more effective than methotrexate for improving hair regrowth in patients with severe alopecia areata, as measured by the Severity of Alopecia Tool score.

This study concluded that laser hair removal using Alexandrite laser emitting red and infrared light appears safe and does not significantly affect the disease activity of Systemic lupus erythematosus.

This study suggests that foods and drugs containing sulfhydryl groups may induce or worsen pemphigus vulgaris.

This review highlights a gap between patient-reported and physician-perceived rates of alopecia in transplant recipients, suggesting the issue may be underestimated and stressing the need for better recognition and management of hair disorders caused by immunosuppressive therapy post-kidney transplantation.

This case report describes how changing treatment from adalimumab to guselkumab successfully controlled both pustulotic arthro-osteitis and paradoxical skin reactions in a patient with palmoplantar pustulosis.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, its similarities to lichen planopilaris, and emphasizes the need for further research due to its underdiagnosis and impact on African-descended women.

This study found that systemic lupus erythematosus predominantly affects young adults, with diverse symptoms including mucocutaneous and renal involvement, and highlights the significance of early detection for improved management.

This review discusses fibrosing frontal alopecia, including its causes, mechanisms, and treatments, and emphasizes the need for further research to improve understanding and treatments; it reports no new clinical results.

This study highlights that juvenile SLE patients, particularly with lupus nephritis and critical conditions, may have a higher risk of thyroid dysfunction and low FT4, potentially worsening their prognosis.

In this study, researchers observed that all kidney transplant patients at a Mexico City hospital developed at least one type of skin condition, with infectious dermatoses being the most common. The authors recommend dermatological assessments before transplantation to manage dermatoses, potentially reducing related health risks.

This article reviews the clinical features, pathogenesis, and treatment strategies for Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia, emphasizing the need for enhanced understanding and early diagnosis, but reports no new research findings.

In this case report, a rare occurrence of Paraneoplastic Dermatomyositis following breast cancer was observed in a 50-year-old woman, indicating the importance of multidisciplinary approaches for identifying underlying malignancies when Dermatomyositis presents as a primary symptom.

This review concluded that oral tofacitinib and adalimumab are promising treatments for cicatricial alopecia, showing effectiveness in improving signs and symptoms but requiring regular monitoring for adverse effects. The authors emphasize the need for further extensive studies to solidify these findings.

In this clinical study, researchers reported that both sodium valproate-loaded nanospanlastics and topical corticosteroids showed comparable modest efficacy in treating patchy alopecia areata, recommending further investigation into sodium valproate's role combined with other therapies.
