This review discusses guidelines for androgen use in women and concludes that more research is needed before recommending testosterone due to insufficient evidence on safety and efficacy.

The guidelines advise against using testosterone and DHEA in women for most conditions due to safety and effectiveness concerns, but suggest considering testosterone for postmenopausal women with low sexual desire.

This review highlights the efficacy of transdermal testosterone therapy in improving sexual function in women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder, though approved formulations and long-term safety data are limited.

This review discusses the role of androgens in women's skin-related conditions like acne, hirsutism, and female pattern hair loss, noting the lack of dermatology guidelines for when to pursue endocrinologic evaluation.

This review discusses hormone-modulating therapies for androgen-mediated cutaneous disorders in women but reports no new clinical results and highlights the need for more rigorous studies.

This review presents substantial evidence supporting testosterone use for hypoactive sexual desire disorder in postmenopausal women, but notes safety concerns with off-label prescribing due to lack of approved formulations.

This guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for prescribing testosterone therapy to women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder, noting a moderate therapeutic benefit but highlighting limited data and regulatory challenges.

This study provides a guideline for the safe and effective use of testosterone in women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder, recommending systemic transdermal testosterone for appropriate candidates while highlighting the importance of informed consent and monitoring due to unestablished long-term safety.

This article reviews the role of testosterone in sexual health, supporting Testosterone Replacement Therapy as an effective treatment for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder in postmenopausal women, though more research is needed on its long-term effects and applicability to premenopausal women.

This systematic review found an inverse relationship between vitamin D levels and the severity, extent, and pattern of alopecia areata, suggesting vitamin D deficiency may contribute to or worsen this autoimmune hair loss condition.

In this study, researchers found a significant association between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder stimulant medications and alopecia universalis in children, although this finding was based on a small sample size.

This study concluded that oral minoxidil 5 mg daily was effective in enhancing hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia, with minor side effects such as hypertrichosis and pedal edema.

This review reports that clinical studies generally showed favorable results for microneedling as an adjunct therapy for androgenic alopecia and alopecia areata, despite the low quality of existing data.

This scoping review reports that preclinical studies suggest omega fatty acids may promote hair follicle growth, but clinical evidence is mixed, with no support for their standalone use in treating alopecia.

This systematic review examined 64 randomized controlled clinical trials on regenerative medicine for specific dermatologic disorders, reporting up to 68.4% improvement in androgenetic alopecia and up to 71% improvement in vitiligo among 2888 patients.

This review discusses hydrogel-forming microneedles for non-invasive drug delivery in dermatology and reports no new clinical results, emphasizing their promise in improving treatment adherence and patient comfort.

This review discusses how menopause affects skin structure and function, finding associations between menopause and common skin conditions, but reports no new clinical results.

This review article discusses ultrasound's potential as a non-invasive tool for diagnosing and treating hair disorders, highlighting its advantages in visualizing scalp structures and enhancing drug delivery, while noting the need for standardized protocols and further research to optimize its clinical application.

In this study, researchers found that combining cryotherapy with triamcinolone injections is equally effective as triamcinolone alone for treating patchy alopecia areata on the scalp and face, with no significant difference in outcomes between the two methods.

This review outlines evidence-based strategies for diagnosing pediatric hypopigmented disorders and emphasizes distinguishing vitiligo from self-limiting conditions through a systematic clinical approach; no new results are reported.
