This study reports that oral rifampicin effectively treated the pustular lesions of tufted hair folliculitis in a 47-year-old woman, with no relapses after one year.

In this study, fibroblasts treated with the small molecule peficitinib were reprogrammed into dermal papilla cell-like cells capable of inducing hair growth, offering a new strategy for hair loss treatment.

This review summarizes evidence that pityrosporum folliculitis in immunocompromised patients responds well to topical antifungals and treatment of underlying conditions, based on a limited number of studies with small sample sizes.

This report from the UK reviews the literature on post-menopausal frontal fibrosing alopecia and highlights its under-recognition and distinctive characteristics compared to lichen planopilaris, but does not provide new results.

This case study reports a 36-year-old man's fungal infection, identified as Trichosporon inkin, which was treated with shaving and antifungal therapy.

Finasteride caused blisters on hands and feet.

This study found that while the combination of oral propranolol and intradermal injections in guinea pigs led to psoriasiform changes, it did not fully mimic psoriasis.

This study demonstrates that MPM-FLIM multimodal imaging can effectively assess the delivery and dissolution of zinc pyrithione particles in human skin follicles using different application techniques.

This study suggests that PF-0998425 is an effective androgen receptor antagonist for sebum control and androgenetic alopecia with rapid metabolism reducing the risk of systemic side effects.

This case report describes a 6-year-old girl with IFAP syndrome who showed good improvement in cutaneous symptoms after one month of acitretin treatment.

Finasteride and GIZh-72 reduce inflammation, with GIZh-72 being more effective.

In laboratory settings, this study found that finasteride repurposed as a quorum sensing inhibitor significantly reduced virulence factors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, including biofilm formation by 45% and pyocyanin production by 49%, suggesting potential for treating infections.

In this study, the aqueous extract from Phthirusa pyrifolia leaves significantly decreased testosterone levels in male Wistar rats without causing liver or kidney damage, suggesting potential effects on libido and reproduction.

This study found that Plerixafor, a CXCR4 antagonist, promotes melanogenesis in melanocytes by increasing MITF and tyrosinase expression and enhancing melanocyte migration, and it effectively restores pigmentation in a mouse depigmentation model without toxicity, highlighting its potential for treating pigmentary disorders.

Finasteride may help treat frontal fibrosing alopecia, but more research is needed.

This study found that certain fatty acids and triterpenoid-glycosides from Eclipta prostrata L. leaves exhibit potent inhibitory effects on the protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B enzyme, suggesting potential anti-diabetic and anti-obesity benefits.

This case report highlights an atypical presentation of favus in an immunocompetent adult, where a psoriasiform plaque over the 'bindi' area was successfully treated with systemic itraconazole, achieving complete resolution without relapse. Simple stains proved essential for diagnosis in this resource-limited setting.

This study found that the HPCH-based formulation P-08–016 may facilitate finasteride deposition in the dermis, potentially offering an alternative to systemic therapy by minimizing systemic absorption.

Albendazole can cause hair loss, and piroxicam can cause fixed drug eruption.

The researchers reported that both finasteride and PM-9 competitively inhibit the 5 alpha-reductase enzyme in P. crustosum broth.

This case report describes two guinea pigs infested with Acarus farris mites, which were successfully treated with Phoxim and removal of contaminated hay, leading to rapid resolution of skin lesions and alopecia.

This study identified new oxidative derivatives of finasteride, including a newly discovered metabolite, by using the fungus Macrophomina phaseolina.

This study found that telogen effluvium occurred in two subjects taking 500 mg of mefloquine weekly, and gastrointestinal intolerance was observed at higher doses in additional acute studies.

This study found that terbinafine HCl nail solutions with or without DDAIP HCl significantly outperformed ciclopirox nail lacquer in treating guinea pig dermatophytosis, suggesting potential effectiveness for human nail infections.

This article reviews IFAP syndrome, an X-linked genetic disorder characterized by ichthyosis follicularis, alopecia, and photophobia, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study reports that oral tofacitinib treatment in a patient with refractory lichen planus pigmentosus and frontal fibrosing alopecia resulted in near-complete resolution of hyperpigmentation and cessation of hairline recession over 18 months, and suggests it may be a promising therapy for these challenging conditions.

New inhibitors may help treat hair loss by promoting fat cell growth in the skin.

Finasteride may cause pseudoporphyria, a blistering skin condition.

This study validated the differential stripping technique on hairless rat skin and found that the P-08–016 formulation delivered more finasteride to the epidermis and appendages compared to P-10–008.
