This case report describes a 26-year-old female with linear morphea and unique alopecia characterized by atrophic follicular remnants, resembling telogen follicles but indicating permanent alopecia, unlike typical findings in morphea-related alopecia.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the cellular, molecular, and genetic factors contributing to lupus erythematosus and reports no new experimental findings.

Cats lose fur due to various reasons, including allergies, infections, genetics, hormones, diet, cancer, stress, and some conditions are treatable while others are not.

This study found that videodermoscopy enhances diagnostic accuracy for scalp and hair disorders beyond simple clinical inspection and reveals novel disease features that could improve clinical understanding.

In this study, key histologic features such as mucinous perifollicular fibroplasia were identified to aid in the diagnosis of lichen planopilaris.

This case report involves a 56-year-old woman with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and scarring alopecia, suggesting diagnoses including discoid lupus erythematosus and lichen planopilaris without presenting new clinical findings.

This study reviewed and reclassified 37 cases of primary scarring alopecia using histological methods to achieve more accurate diagnoses within subtypes like lupus erythematosus and lichen planopilaris.

This study found that haploinsufficiency of SPINK5 can lead to Netherton syndrome when a single null mutation combines with homozygous G1258A polymorphisms, suggesting it acts as a genuine mutation affecting LEKTI function.

This review discusses the clinical characteristics of alopecia in cancer patients, highlighting its potential role as an associated finding or diagnostic clue, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses diagnostic approaches for women with diffuse, nonscarring hair loss and reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the use of trichoscopy for diagnosing common hair and scalp diseases and introduces a new classification for specific skin surface abnormalities, without presenting new clinical results.

This review discusses madarosis, its diverse causes, and suggests follicular unit transplantation as a useful treatment for scarring types, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes two brothers with an unusual, possibly treatment-resistant inflammatory variant of androgenic alopecia, featuring follicular isthmic lymphocytic inflammation and diffuse central scalp hair loss.

The conclusion is that different types of hair loss in dogs and cats can be cosmetic or serious, and affected animals should not be bred.

Different types of hair loss in dogs and cats have various causes and treatments, with outcomes ranging from good to uncertain.

Hair growth dysfunction involves various conditions with limited treatment options.

This study describes a system for generating hair follicles from dissociated cells in mice, suggesting that successful development requires a foundational epithelial platform.

This study observed that long-term laser hair removal in women may alter hair follicle structures and stem cell interactions, with dermal fibrosis potentially influencing hair regrowth prevention.

This case report describes a 27-year-old woman with lupus erythematosus whose biopsy findings indicated that lupus panniculitis can mimic alopecia areata, leading to temporary hair loss.

This case report describes an unusual trichofolliculoma in a 54-year-old man, notable for its prominent mucinosis, which is typically not as abundant in such tumors.

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 case report describes a 19-year-old male with systemic lupus erythematosus presenting with an unusual combination of mucinous nonscarring alopecia and papulonodular mucinosis, noted by mucin deposition in skin lesions, which responded partially to treatment with hydroxychloroquine and prednisolone.

This article discusses common causes of hair loss, specifically androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, but reports no new clinical findings.

Follicular dystrophy in immunocompromised patients may be linked to medication or viral factors and can improve with treatment changes.

This review analyzed literature on primary cutaneous lymphomas involving the scalp, finding that scalp involvement in these cases often leads to non-scarring focal alopecia and may indicate more aggressive disease.

This study reported that over 70% of adults with primary cicatricial alopecia experienced impaired quality of life, primarily influenced by trichodynia and anxiety.

This review discusses the significance of elastic tissue staining in dermatopathology, particularly for diagnosing primary elastic tissue disorders and other skin conditions, but reports no new clinical results.

Amenorrhea is when a woman doesn't have periods, with primary amenorrhea starting by age 15 or within five years of breast development, and secondary amenorrhea when periods stop for three months. It affects 3-4% of women not pregnant, breastfeeding, or in menopause, mainly due to polycystic ovary syndrome, hypothalamic amenorrhea, hyperprolactinemia, and ovarian failure.

Lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia are likely distinct diseases with different tissue involvement.

This review discusses the characteristic trichoscopy patterns useful in differentiating lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia from similar conditions but reports no new clinical results.
