Eating disorders are serious, often undiagnosed conditions requiring early treatment, with anorexia being the most deadly and binge-eating the most treatable.

In this study, researchers found that most buffaloes in Basrah, Iraq, suffered mineral deficiencies, especially in zinc, cobalt, copper, and sulfur, with outdoor grazing buffaloes displaying more severe deficiencies than those kept indoors.

This case report describes two patients with a likely new type of pachyonychia, characterized by nail thickening and severe generalized hypotrichosis, possibly linked to a mutation in a hard keratin.

This study found that the weak tensile strength of pili torti hair may result from loose keratin intermediate filaments due to abnormalities in disulfide bonds.

People with lichen planopilaris often have seborrheic dermatitis, which can delay the diagnosis of lichen planopilaris.

Lichen Planopilaris causes irreversible hair loss due to immune attacks on hair stem cells, but modulating PPAR-γ might help treat it.

In this study, researchers observed that a hidden scalp condition could contribute to acne keloidalis nuchae and potentially other primary cicatricial alopecias, impacting their diagnosis and treatment.

This case report describes a 7-year-old girl diagnosed with multiple eccrine pilar angiomatous nevi, a rare variant of eccrine angiomatous hamartomas, characterized by slow growth and generally benign behavior.

A specific gene variant is linked to heart disease, increased heart muscle, curly hair, and thick skin on palms and soles.

This article discusses primary cicatricial alopecia, highlighting the need for early and precise diagnosis to effectively manage and treat these complex inflammatory hair disorders, but presents no new clinical results.

An 8-year-old girl developed a rare skin condition in a linear pattern on one side of her body after a lung infection, which improved with treatment.

In this case report, a 68-year-old Caucasian woman with Brunsting-Perry pemphigoid experienced scarring alopecia, which was effectively managed using intralesional betamethasone and topical mometasone furoate, suggesting this rare condition may be underdiagnosed in scarring alopecia cases.

This case report highlights that scarring alopecia with features of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and lichen planopilaris can occur in patients with a COL7A1 mutation, emphasizing the need to recognize concurrent inflammatory causes.

This case report discusses a 15-year-old boy with pachyonychia congenita, identifying a keratin 17 gene mutation, and highlights the need for a national registry and more accessible genetic testing in India.

This study reported an incidence of lichen planus of 0.16% among patients, with the classical type being most common, and found associations with various immune-mediated diseases and rare cases of malignant transformation.

This case report challenges the traditional view by documenting reversible vision loss following scalp injections of platelet-rich plasma, attributed to an inflammatory or microvascular event, treatable with corticosteroids.

This study found that patients with primary cicatricial alopecia are at higher risk of developing various comorbidities, including systemic lupus erythematosus, hypothyroidism, and dermatological conditions, compared to controls.

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 study presents a case of a 67-year-old immunocompromised woman with ulcerated genital and perianal lesions diagnosed as herpesvirus-induced dermatovirosis, highlighting the importance of considering viral infections in differential diagnoses and the potential for resistance to typical antiviral treatments.

In this case study, a 69-year-old woman with pityriasis rubra pilaris developed a scarring alopecia with lichen-planopilaris-like features, which responded well to early treatment.

In this study, trichostasis spinulosa was observed in 51 patients with lesions on the nose, where some follicles contained up to 86 hairs each, possibly influenced by endocrine factors and actinic rays.

This review discusses hair shaft disorders, noting the lack of specific treatments and recommending general care practices to prevent hair damage, with some improvement possible during puberty or with treatments like minoxidil.

This case report describes a young man with bilateral morphea en coup de sabre, which recurred after being quiescent, highlighting its association with previous head trauma and alopecia.

This case report documents the first instance of frontal fibrosing alopecia where lichen planopilaris developed at wig attachment sites, suggesting wigs may trigger the Koebner phenomenon in affected patients.

This study identified a shared gene signature in scarring alopecia subtypes, with increased mast cell presence, suggesting similar treatment approaches may be effective across these hair loss disorders.

In this case series, researchers observed a rare presentation of lichen planopilaris confined to the face in six patients, with dermoscopic and histopathological profiles indicating scarring alopecia and pigment changes, and suggested that shaving and mustard oil use might trigger the condition.

This article discusses scalp neuropathy in androgenetic alopecia and suggests that changes in tactile sensation due to Aβ fibers and increased nociception from circ-HTMR may be involved.

This study presents a case of neuropsychiatric lupus in a 50-year-old woman, highlighting the severe impact on quality of life and the necessity for aggressive treatment to improve outcomes.

This report details a case where diffuse lichen planopilaris and female pattern hair loss in a 32-year-old woman mimicked diffuse alopecia areata, highlighting the diagnostic value of dermoscopy-guided biopsies and the importance of timely treatment to prevent disease progression.
