Young adults have about 230,000 tactile nerve fibers, decreasing 5-8% per decade with age.

Eczema and fungal infections are the most common skin problems in Japan, with different age groups and genders affected by various conditions.

K6hf is a unique protein found only in a specific layer of hair follicles.

Estrogen replacement can improve skin health in menopausal women but doesn't reverse sun damage or prevent hair loss.

Estrogen loss during menopause worsens skin health, but hormone replacement therapy may improve it, though more research is needed.

Stem cells in the hair follicle are regulated by their surrounding environment, which is important for hair growth.

Some vitamins and minerals like vitamin D and iron can help with certain types of hair loss, but more research is needed for others.

Adam10 enzyme is crucial for healthy skin and proper Notch signaling.

Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.

Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.

Early detection and intensive treatment of diseases caused by Staphylococcus aureus toxins are crucial for reducing severe health effects.

Alopecia areata significantly lowers the quality of life, especially in emotional and mental health aspects.

Prolactin contributes to hair loss by promoting hair follicle shrinkage and cell death.

Coal tar shampoos, salicylic acid, and topical corticosteroids are effective for scalp psoriasis, with Vitamin D3 analogues also showing benefits; severe cases may require stronger medication with more risks.
