This case report describes a Persian cat with dermatophytic pseudomycetoma that initially responded to griseofulvin treatment and surgical excision, but the condition relapsed, ultimately leading to the cat's death.

This case report describes a 20-year-old female with favus caused by T. schöenleinii, which initially improved with antifungal treatment but recurred due to poor adherence, underscoring favus as an ongoing health issue in Turkey.

This study found that two new progesterone derivatives showed higher antiandrogenic effects and 5α-reductase inhibition than finasteride in hamsters, particularly reducing seminal vesicle weight and flank organ size.

This randomized pilot study suggests that finasteride may benefit some men with category IIIA chronic pelvic pain syndrome, although it is not recommended as monotherapy unless benign prostatic hyperplasia is also present.

This review discusses treatments for tinea capitis, noting that while griseofulvin remains a common choice, shorter treatment options like terbinafine, itraconazole, and fluconazole show promise but require further studies.

This case report suggests that anidulafungin may be associated with hair loss, highlighting the need for physicians to monitor this potential adverse effect.

This case report from Veterinary Clinical Complex, Kurumbapet, India, described a kitten with superficial dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum spp., which was successfully treated using itraconazole syrup, cetirizine, and a liver-supportive syrup, achieving complete recovery by the third week without adverse effects.

In this case report, researchers observed that a 47-year-old woman developed pityriasis amiantacea after using topical minoxidil, suggesting a potential new etiology for this scalp condition.

In this report, a female patient with ulcerative colitis, alopecia areata, and pyoderma gangrenosum showed improvement in all three conditions after being treated with tofacitinib.

In this study, researchers reported that oral isotretinoin effectively treated facial papules in frontal fibrosing alopecia, with histopathologic findings suggesting the involvement of elastic fibers and sebaceous glands in papule formation beyond perifollicular inflammation.

In this study, dermatologists from the Spanish Hair and Nail Disorders Group viewed post-finasteride syndrome as rare and primarily of psychiatric origin, with limited scientific evidence supporting its existence.

In this case report, a 2-month-old Chippiparai pup in Puducherry, India, successfully received treatment for concurrent scabies and dermatophytosis using ivermectin, a topical acaricide solution, a dewormer, and an herbal immunostimulant, with no signs of toxicity.
