This case report describes two siblings with gray patch tinea capitis, highlighting exposure to cats and inappropriate corticosteroid use as risk factors, and treatment with griseofulvin and terbinafine.

In this study, white females with Ludwig I female pattern hair loss had higher hair density on the occipital scalp, while Asian females had thicker hair diameters in both frontal and occipital areas.

This study developed an antimicrobial microneedle patch for delivering apoptotic vesicles to treat infected wounds, which was found to effectively reduce bacterial growth and accelerate scarless healing, including the rapid formation of mature hair follicles in just 8 days, a previously unreported early outcome.

This study identified distinct clinical and dermatoscopic features to differentiate non-scarring patchy alopecia in SLE from alopecia areata, emphasizing the value of serological tests in diagnosis.

In this study, 5% minoxidil significantly improved outcomes for children and adults with patchy alopecia areata compared to placebo, with moderate quality evidence and no severe adverse events reported, though more research is needed to address remaining uncertainties.

This study reports the first case of atrichia with papular lesions in a Taiwanese family without a detectable mutation in the HR gene.

This study observed that non-scarring diffuse hair loss was common in systemic lupus erythematosus patients, but did not find a significant relationship with the SLE Disease Activity Index.

Acitretin significantly reduced inflammatory attacks in a woman with Naevus Comedonicus Syndrome but caused side effects.

This preliminary study observed that melanoblasts are preserved in the white hair follicles of segmental vitiligo lesions.

This article discusses vitiligo, reviewing its symptoms, possible causes, and classification, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that topical clobetasol propionate cream provided a modest improvement in hair regrowth for alopecia areata patients, though those with atopy had higher relapse rates after treatment completion.

In this study, trichoscopy was found to be a valuable non-invasive tool for diagnosing scalp lesions, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and reducing the need for scalp biopsies by identifying specific trichoscopic features associated with conditions like psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and alopecia areata.

In this study, researchers found that patients with new-onset mild alopecia areata had higher levels of oxidative stress markers and reduced antioxidant levels compared to healthy individuals, suggesting that oxidative stress might play a role in the condition.

In this study, a pH-responsive microneedle patch was developed, showing potential in rat models for treating spinal cord injuries by reducing inflammation, promoting nerve regeneration, and supporting neurogenesis, which contributed to improved motor and neurological recovery.

In this case report, researchers describe a 44-year-old woman with refractory patch alopecia areata achieving complete hair regrowth using a multi-modal approach of systemic and topical cholecalciferol with microneedling, although systemic vitamin D repletion remains a significant confounder.

This study found that intralesional minoxidil alone has limited efficacy for non-severe patchy alopecia areata, though it may accelerate hair regrowth compared to spontaneous recovery.

This case report suggests that regular use of antifungal shampoo might obscure clinical indicators of Trichophyton tonsurans tinea capitis in healthy adults, necessitating detailed diagnostic approaches like histopathology and dermoscopy.

This study introduced a novel deep clustering approach for melanoma detection from dermoscopic images, demonstrating improved performance over existing methods by mitigating class imbalance issues using a center-oriented margin-free triplet loss.

This study found that tofacitinib led to ≥50% hair regrowth in eight out of twelve patients with moderate to severe alopecia areata, suggesting a potential benefit for using JAK inhibitors in treating this condition.

Using Indian marking nut sap for hair loss caused a skin rash on a woman's face.

Alopecia totalis/universalis involves more intense immune activity and inflammation than patchy alopecia areata.

In this study, researchers examined the under-studied mechanisms behind specific dermatological phenomena such as co-localization, Wolf's isotopic phenomenon, Koebner's isomorphic phenomenon, and the recently described Renbök phenomenon, noting that only a few cases have been reported so far.

This review discusses current treatments and management strategies for hidradenitis suppurativa, noting the mixed effectiveness of various therapies, including surgery, antibiotics, and hormonal treatments, but reports no new clinical findings.

This case study reported that two patients treated for androgenetic alopecia with Regaine® solution developed allergic contact dermatitis due to propylene glycol, highlighting the importance of testing the vehicle in patch tests.

This report describes two cases where topical squaric acid dibutylester application in alopecia totalis patients led to severe pustular lesions, necessitating systemic prednisolone treatment.

This study from a dermatology department found that patch test positivity for allergic contact dermatitis is lower in geriatric patients than in adults, likely due to age-related immune changes and reduced allergen exposure.

This case study reports a 22-year-old homosexual man coinfected with secondary syphilis, condyloma acuminata, and HIV, highlighting the coexistence and increased STI risks associated with HIV and HPV infection.

This study found that elevated STAT5 levels are linked to improved hair-inducing capabilities in human dermal papilla cells, and reducing STAT5 impairs hair follicle induction.

This case report indicates that contact dermatitis on the face can result from using a bleaching ointment containing ammonium bisulfite during hair-dyeing.

In this study, dogs diagnosed with demodicosis achieved full recovery after a single dose of fluralaner, with clinical improvement supported by negative skin scraping results by day 28, and hematobiochemical parameters normalizing over the treatment period.
