In this retrospective study, researchers described the dermoscopic features of dermatitis cruris pustulosa et atrophicans in 30 patients, finding that follicular-based pustules and other specific features were predominant, with male patients being more affected and primarily involving the lower extremities.

This study presented the case of an 81-year-old woman with 1-year history of scalp erosions and pustules, initially suspected to be infectious, but skin biopsy revealed impetiginized scale-crust, epidermal atrophy, dermal fibrosis, and mixed inflammatory infiltrate, leading to scarring alopecia.

This case report describes a 46-year-old man who developed folliculotropic mycosis fungoides, a form of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder, following renal transplantation.

This article discusses folliculitis decalvans as a cicatricial alopecia caused by a neutrophilic immune reaction to microbial biofilms, but it reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses the potential link between traction alopecia and hijab-wearing, emphasizing the need for careful examination techniques, but reports no new clinical findings.

The study found that Temporal Triangular Alopecia often starts in early childhood, mainly affects the left side of the scalp, and has no effective treatment except surgery.

This case report describes a 27-year-old man with a unique association of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans and acne keloidalis nuchae, successfully treated with oral isotretinoin.

This case report describes how discontinuing the EGFR inhibitor gefitinib led to rapid improvement of erosive scalp pustules in a woman with non-small-cell lung cancer, despite previous antibiotic and steroid treatment failures.

Erlotinib may cause scarring hair loss.

Minoxidil can cause pustular allergic reactions on skin.

The study found that Temporal Triangular Alopecia often starts in early childhood, while Folliculitis Decalvans is characterized by tufted hairs and redness around hair follicles.

This study found that palmoplantar pustulosis patients exhibited oral dysbiosis, particularly among those with pustulotic arthro-osteosis, as compared to healthy controls.

This study found a potential link between staphylococcal carrier status and dermatitis cruris pustulosa et atrophicans, a chronic folliculitis primarily affecting the legs.

This review outlines the diagnosis and management of folliculitis decalvans, an inflammatory scalp disorder, and highlights Staphylococcus aureus and immune response deficiencies as key factors in its development.

In this study conducted from September to November 2023, researchers used trichoscopy to accurately diagnose cicatricial alopecias by revealing unique patterns, reducing the need for biopsies, and proving to be a valuable non-invasive diagnostic method.

This article reviews the causes and clinical presentation of pseudofolliculitis barbae, highlighting how genetic susceptibility and hair removal practices contribute to its development, but reports no new research findings.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, including its various forms and potential multifactorial causes, but provides no new clinical findings.

This article reviews historical cases and descriptions of perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens, highlighting its characteristics and treatment, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that lichen planopilaris was the most common variant of cicatricial alopecia among patients, with perifollicular fibrosis being a prevalent histopathological feature.

In this case report, a young Japanese man was diagnosed with scalp IgG4-related disease, which mimicked acne keloidalis nuchae but was identified by histopathology and elevated serum IgG4 levels as a systemic fibroinflammatory disorder, highlighting the importance of differential diagnosis in atypical scarring alopecia.

This study observed that systemic acitretin improved symptoms in 75% of lichen planopilaris patients, despite varied responses and a dominant female prevalence.

In this study, certain trichoscopic features were found to be sensitive and specific for diagnosing primary cicatricial alopecias and its subtypes using dermatoscopy.

This study observed that following hair transplantation, patients exhibited prominent perifollicular erythema and scaling one month after surgery, whereas by six months, accentuated follicular ostia and varying hair shaft abnormalities were consistently noted.

Lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia are likely the same disease with different clinical appearances.

This review outlines the classification, histopathologic presentation, and pathogenetic concepts of scarring and nonscarring alopecias, reporting no new clinical results and emphasizing the need for clinicopathologic correlation.
