In this case report, a 53-year-old woman with Little-Graham-Piccardi-Lassueur-Syndrome responded well to a treatment regimen of hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, and other therapies, effectively halting the progression of this rare dermatosis characterized by alopecia and hyperkeratotic eruptions.

The document concludes that permanent hair loss conditions are complex, require early specific treatments, and "secondary permanent alopecias" might be a more accurate term than "secondary cicatricial alopecia."

This study found that anti-TNF therapy-induced alopecia exhibits distinct clinical and histopathological features and can mimic psoriatic alopecia and alopecia areata, with some patients improving with topical treatment.

This case report details a fixed-drug eruption in a woman linked to the use of dextromethorphan, marking it as a previously unreported skin reaction to this medication.

This review discusses the role of Sox2 in skin development, hair follicle regeneration, cancer, and wound healing, and reports no new experimental results.

In this case report, a 20-year-old man with a birthmark was identified as having a supernumerary nipple, a developmental anomaly, using dermoscopy to distinguish it from other pigmented skin lesions such as melanocytic nevus or basal cell carcinoma.

This review details skin conditions in children and adolescents related to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, emphasizing mask-related acne and various cutaneous manifestations linked to infection and vaccination, with most being mild or nonspecific.

This study reviewed medical records of tinea capitis patients at a clinic in Surabaya, finding that the condition predominantly affected young males and was often associated with contact with cats.

This case report describes a 7-year-old child with linear lupus panniculitis of the scalp, treated successfully with a combination of hydroxychloroquine, topical and intralesional steroids, and a topical calcineurin inhibitor.

This study observed that grey patch is the most common variant of tinea capitis in northeastern India, with T. violaceum being the predominant fungal isolate.

This special issue reviews various advances in laser and light-based technologies for dermatological treatments, emphasizing improvements for diverse skin types, but reports no new empirical results.

This review discusses the increased risk of venous thromboembolism associated with combined hormonal contraceptives, particularly noting higher risks with certain progestins like desogestrel, gestodene, and cyproterone acetate, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of functional hypothalamic amenorrhea in adolescent girls and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the limitations of serum androgen measurements in diagnosing and treating women with potential androgen-related disorders and the potential role of androgen replacement therapy for those with sexual interest/arousal disorders, reporting no new results.

This study found that a microneedle patch containing tofacitinib-loaded nanoparticles significantly increased hair follicle numbers and promoted hair regeneration with less drug compared to daily topical tofacitinib, suggesting it may be an effective strategy for alopecia treatment by reducing dosing frequency and enhancing drug delivery.

This systematic review reports that "COVID toes" and other skin manifestations can be initial signs of COVID-19, and advises immunosuppressive therapy adjustments only for infected or at-risk patients.

This review discusses the genetic factors involved in hair follicle morphogenesis and cycling and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the role of genes in hereditary hair diseases.
