Diagnosing and treating CCCA requires understanding multiple causes and using various diagnostic tools.

This study found that activating CXCR2 on ras-transformed keratinocytes promotes migration and tumor development in a mouse skin model.

This study found that among 52 classification tools on the Clinical Knowledge Summaries website, 46% lacked strong guidance for their use in managing conditions, suggesting that nearly half of the tools may not be useful for clinical decision-making.

This case study of a 45-year-old man from Tonga describes the identification of pachyonychia congenita through genetic testing, revealing a mutation in the keratin gene KRT16, associated with chronic painful skin and nail conditions.

This article reviews various types of primary cicatricial alopecias and emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis to improve management strategies, particularly detailing remaining lymphocytic forms and expanding on neutrophilic and mixed types.

This study found that a continuing education program significantly improved rural nurse practitioners' knowledge about assessing, diagnosing, and managing PCOS.

Hair shaft changes may be linked to CCCA, but their role is unclear.

In this study, the researchers observed significant metabolic dysregulation in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, particularly involving lipid metabolism and the downregulation of AMPK-related genes.

RAPK is a rare skin disorder with pigmented spots, mainly on hands and feet, starting in youth.

This review discusses recent advancements in the management and diagnosis of primary cicatricial alopecias but reports no new clinical results; emerging insights suggest sebaceous gland dysfunction may play a role in their etiopathogenesis.

In this study, DataDerm revealed that from 2016 to 2022, a majority of patients diagnosed with keratinocyte carcinoma were male, predominantly white, and commonly between 56-75 years old, with most living in urban areas and having a history of non-melanoma skin cancer.
