In this open uncontrolled study on microneedling as an adjuvant therapy for frontal fibrosing alopecia, researchers observed stable frontotemporal recession measurements while patients reported improvements in quality of life and a reduction in inflammatory activity parameters.

This report describes ten cases of pityriasis amiantacea to raise awareness of this uncommon scalp condition, highlighting its negative test findings and its uncertain association with other skin diseases.

This narrative review suggests a strong association between abrupt hormonal imbalances and frontal fibrosing alopecia in women, especially related to reduced fertile years and certain hormonal therapies.

This case report describes a 16-year-old girl who developed Plica Polonica, a rare hair matting disorder, after using a homeopathic antidandruff shampoo, highlighting a potential link between shampoo use and the condition.

The study concluded that fatty acid transport protein 4 in epidermal keratinocytes is crucial for maintaining normal skin structure, as its deficiency led to hyperkeratosis and epidermal barrier disruption in mice.

This study classified frontal fibrosing alopecia patients into three clinical patterns, finding that pattern III had the best prognosis and pattern II the worst after treatment with dutasteride and corticosteroids.

This report describes a rare case of pseudopelade of Brocq in a 20-year-old male, emphasizing its unique presentation with scalp hair loss and mild itching.
