This study describes changes in scalp hair color, including rare instances of repigmentation, following volumetric modulated arc therapy for skin cancer; this potential side effect may warrant discussion during informed consent.

This study found that basal cell carcinoma is more prevalent on the cutaneous lip while squamous cell carcinoma is more common on the vermilion lip, with rare recurrences following Mohs micrographic surgery.

This study reported that tryptanthrin, a compound found in indigo naturalis, effectively suppresses non-melanoma skin cancer in mice by reducing inflammation, inhibiting cell proliferation, and blocking specific signaling pathways associated with tumor growth.

This study found a significant association between male breast cancers and exposure to finasteride and dutasteride, with an estimated additional case per 564 men taking these drugs.

This case report describes a 69-year-old woman with excessive facial hair growth over six months and provides details on her medical history and examination.

This review compiles epidemiological data on actinic keratoses and suggests promoting strategies like early diagnosis and photoprotection to prevent progression to skin cancer, but it reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, a cosmetic product with nano encapsulated cysteamine plus sunscreen significantly improved melasma symptoms and quality of life in adult women over 84 days, compared to sunscreen alone, without any medically relevant intolerance.

This study reports that male-pattern baldness may be linked to an increased risk of skin cancer, particularly for tumors located on the scalp.

This case report describes a rare instance of alopecia neoplastica, where breast cancer metastasized to the scalp, which can be mistakenly diagnosed as alopecia areata.

This review discusses how the optical properties of human hair might contribute to melanoma development but reports no new experimental findings, suggesting further research is needed to support this hypothesis.

This study found that α-MSH acts as a modulator of inflammatory and fibrogenic responses in human fibroblastic skin cells, indicating potential therapeutic options for fibrotic skin disorders and inflammatory diseases of the hair follicle.

Renal transplant patients on tacrolimus and sirolimus may develop acne keloidalis nuchae.

In this case series, researchers reported scarring alopecia in six out of 450 patients (1.33%) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors for metastatic melanoma, with all affected patients experiencing other immune-related adverse effects but continuing treatment with favorable cancer outcomes.

This article discusses the structure and function of the skin, the etiology and increasing incidence of skin cancer, and the types and prevalence of malignant skin tumors, but reports no new research findings.

This case report describes the development of halo naevi, vitiligo, and diffuse alopecia areata in a 33-year-old woman undergoing tocilizumab therapy, suggesting a link between these conditions and cellular and humoral immune factors.

This case study reported on a 72-year-old woman initially diagnosed with inflammatory alopecia, later identified as having angiosarcoma of the scalp, revealing the importance of considering unexpected malignancies during evaluation of suspected inflammatory alopecia cases.

This study found that ginsenoside Rg3 significantly inhibited melanogenesis in human melanocytes and B16F10 cells by activating the ERK pathway, suggesting potential as a skin-whitening agent.

This symposium reviewed various topics in stem cell research related to skin biology, including mechanisms of skin regeneration, tumorigenesis, and pathways influencing melanoma stem cell behavior, but it reported no new clinical results.

This study observed that the topical skin-whitening agent rhododendrol induced skin depigmentation in approximately 16,000 consumers, linked to melanocyte cytotoxicity and immune reactions.

This study found that black and Hispanic women had higher odds of self-reported alopecia areata compared to white women, highlighting potential racial disparities in the condition's occurrence.

This study found that dimethylarsinic acid significantly accelerates skin tumor development in hair follicle-targeted K6/ODC transgenic mice.

This study found that the normalized androgen ratio (NAR) could help evaluate androgen activity in women with acne vulgaris, hirsutism, and androgenetic alopecia, showing elevated NAR in some patients.

This review focuses on the various skin toxicities caused by chemotherapeutic and targeted tumor therapy drugs, including rashes, keratoacanthoma, and more severe conditions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, without presenting new clinical results.

This study observed that topically applied RTA 408 reduced the severity of radiation-induced dermatitis in mice, with the highest dose significantly reducing and alleviating skin damage and associated inflammation.

Scale created to measure hair loss in men and women; MK-386 reduces acne; Niaspan treats dyslipidemia; minoxidil increases heart rate.

This review discusses how hair follicle light sensitivity is linked to mesenchymal remodeling and suggests that this connection influences photoepilation outcomes and optimal treatment strategies, reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that finasteride decreases melanin levels in melanocyte and melanoma cells by inhibiting MC1R, without causing cytotoxicity, suggesting its potential role in regulating melanogenesis.

This study found that Raman spectroscopy has potential for detecting biophysical differences in basal cell carcinoma compared to normal skin structures, supporting its future use in Mohs surgery.
