In this case report, a 5-year-old boy presented with an itchy patch of hair loss in the frontotemporal region, with trichoscopy revealing specific hair shaft features, such as black dots and corkscrew hairs.

This study observed a rare case of alopecia areata with granulomatous inflammation, successfully treated with intralesional triamcinolone, leading to complete hair regrowth within two months, highlighting the need for careful diagnosis to distinguish it from other granulomatous alopecias.

This abstract highlights that while treatments for alopecia areata, like corticosteroids and JAK inhibitors, exist, their effectiveness varies and relapses are common, prompting interest in supplementary therapies.

This case series highlights the risk of iatrogenic Cushing syndrome and adrenal insufficiency among immigrant patients using over-the-counter medications from other countries, which often contain hidden glucocorticoids marketed as vitamins, prompting clinicians to perform thorough medication histories for accurate diagnosis and management.

In this study, authors present a case where a 26-year-old patient with alopecia areata experienced relapse after initially responding to Tofacitinib, mitigated by corticosteroids, highlighting challenges and potential insights into the treatment and pathogenesis of the condition.

This case study highlights a testosterone- and cortisol-secreting adrenal oncocytic neoplasm in an 18-year-old woman, illustrating the role of surgical excision in resolving hyperandrogenism and restoring menstruation.

This review discusses the various off-label treatments for alopecia areata, highlighting that these therapies may promote hair growth but are not curative.

This review outlines current treatment strategies for trichotillomania, noting that while cognitive-behavioral therapy is effective, N-acetylcysteine and memantine are also recommended due to their safety and efficacy, though evidence for other drugs like fluoxetine and naltrexone remains limited.

This study reviewed 562 alopecia areata patients in Colombia, observing a higher prevalence in women and common use of steroid injections and topical minoxidil as treatments.

This review reports that exosomes show potential in regenerative and cosmetic dermatology for applications like wound healing and hair loss mitigation, but their clinical use is currently limited by high costs, complex processing, and sparse clinical evidence.

In this study, researchers examined men with early-stage androgenetic alopecia and found distinct patterns of hair loss correlated with genetic and hormonal factors, noting that parietal region pattern hair loss responded better to minoxidil and micronutrient treatment compared to occipital region pattern.

This study found that severe or moderate COVID-19 altered sex hormone and cortisol levels in lung tissues of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, particularly in women, suggesting potential implications for lung cancer progression and treatment outcomes.

This study shows that IKZF1 and the protein IKAROS may play a role in the development of alopecia areata, based on findings from both mouse models and human scalp tissues.

In this study, researchers reported that conventional treatments for folliculitis decalvans, which include steroids and antibiotics, are often ineffective, with many patients experiencing frequent recurrences of this scarring scalp disorder.

This case report details two patients with Graham-Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome who showed marked skin lesion improvement with corticosteroid treatment, though cicatricial scalp alopecia remained unresponsive.

Hair fibers break by cuticle cell slipping, shape changing, cuticle fraying, and surface cracking when stretched under specific conditions.

This guideline outlines the management of systemic lupus erythematosus in adults but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that the effects of the vitamin D receptor on hair follicle cycling in mice are independent of its ability to bind a hormone, with specific domain mutations influencing hair regrowth outcomes.

This study reports the first keratin gene mutation affecting the tail domain, leading to a unique cytoskeletal abnormality and severe epidermal hyperkeratosis, highlighting the tail domain's critical role in keratin organization.

This study documents that trichohyalin acts as a multi-functional cross-bridging protein in the inner root sheath of mouse hair follicles, enhancing mechanical strength by linking keratin filaments to the cell envelope.
