This survey found that over 70% of dermatologists in the sample had prescribed topical minoxidil for hair loss, with low reported complications beyond local irritation.

This review discusses the potential for SSRIs to cause serious skin reactions and suggests considering alternative antidepressants if such reactions occur.

This chapter reviews studies on the side effects of cytostatics and immunosuppressive drugs, detailing various toxicities such as cardiovascular, pulmonary, and neurotoxicity, but provides no new clinical results.

Some drugs can cause serious side effects, like hypoglycemia from mix-ups, skin reactions, or depression, and while penicillamine may help rheumatoid arthritis more than auranofin, it has more severe side effects.

This article discusses melatonin's role in mammalian coat color and its potential in melanoma treatment when used with chemotherapy, but reports no new clinical results.

This review reports that topical minoxidil remains the primary treatment for androgenetic alopecia, while oral and sublingual forms offer alternative options, each with varying efficacy and side effects.

This study found that medroxyprogesterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol with drospirenone were the most frequently prescribed medications for PCOS, with some patients experiencing drug changes or discontinuation due to side effects or therapeutic failure.

This review discusses the dermatological adverse events from immunosuppressive and anti-TNF therapy in IBD, finding increased risks of non-melanoma skin cancer and other skin conditions, and recommends regular cancer screening.

Women experience various skin issues at different life stages, requiring careful treatment and awareness.

Lupus can cause different skin problems, and treatments like quitting smoking and using certain creams or medicines can help.

This article reviews treatment options for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, including skin-directed therapies and aggressive treatments for advanced cases, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses hirsutism management guidelines, recommending androgen testing only for women with abnormal hirsutism scores and advocating for combined therapy approaches depending on severity and underlying conditions, but it reports no new clinical results.

This narrative review examined the efficacy and safety of topical tretinoin for various dermatological conditions, finding strong support from robust trials for acne and photoaging, while indicating potential benefits for other uses like melasma and alopecia, yet highlighted the need for more standardized, high-quality trials.

The document explains various skin conditions and their treatments.

This study found that epidermal melanocytes can regenerate hair follicles, whereas non-cutaneous or dermal melanocytes cannot, suggesting two distinct melanocyte lineages with potential implications for melanocyte-related diseases.

This guideline reviews the diagnosis and treatment of malignant cutaneous angiosarcomas, highlighting the complexity of treatment and the importance of early detection despite non-specific clinical presentations.

This systematic review found that Janus kinase inhibitors have shown beneficial effects for psoriasis and alopecia areata, with promising preliminary results in other skin conditions, though more research is needed to define dosing and safety profiles.

This review discusses the role of YAP/TAZ proteins in skin cancer physiology and tumorigenesis, and the potential of targeting these proteins in skin cancer treatments, but presents no new experimental findings.

This review discusses the potential of Janus Kinase inhibitors for treating alopecia areata and other forms of alopecia, highlighting the need for further research on their long-term safety and optimal formulation.

Skin aging reflects overall body aging and can indicate internal health conditions.

This review found that while topical minoxidil is effective for treating female pattern hair loss, finasteride showed no more effectiveness than placebo, and low-level laser therapy increased hair count but with inconsistent results.

This review discusses the development and trials of finasteride for prostate cancer prevention, reporting reduced cancer prevalence but noting concerns about increased high-grade cancer incidence.

This study conducted a meta-analysis and found that men with both frontal and vertex male pattern baldness have a slightly increased risk of developing prostate cancer, though most data was from Caucasian populations and effect modification by genetic variations was not assessed.

In this review, several studies on Astragalus species, particularly Astragalus membranaceus, highlight their skin rejuvenating, photoprotective, antimicrobial, and wound-healing properties, though the authors note limitations due to reliance on non-human studies and short trial durations.

In this study, FMN was found to inhibit androgen receptor function and androgen-regulated gene expression in prostate cancer cells, suggesting potential as an antiandrogen therapy.

This study suggests that hemoglobin α expression in the epidermis is induced by oxidative stress and may function as an antioxidant, contributing to skin barrier function.

This case report describes a rare presentation of recurrent plaque psoriasis on the penile shaft, which was controlled with systemic therapy after topical treatments failed.

This study discovered that minoxidil affects hematopoiesis by downregulating wnt4, leading to suppression of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and alleviating MDS-like symptoms in zebrafish and mice, with hematologic safety achieved at optimized doses.

This review found that vesicle-based therapies, including mammalian MSC-derived and plant-derived vesicles, consistently promote wound healing in preclinical models of thermal injury and may offer a safer alternative to live cell transplants.

This study reports that over 70% of responding dermatologists prescribed topical minoxidil, but a small percentage accounted for most prescriptions and few reported complications beyond local irritation.
