The commentary suggests that certain hair and skin care products may be linked to frontal fibrosing alopecia, but not sunscreens, and calls for more thorough research on the causes.

Brunfelsia uniflora has good antioxidant properties and moderate antibacterial activity.

This case report found that a linoleic acid topical application reversed essential fatty acid deficiency and improved scalp dermatitis, alopecia, and hair depigmentation in a 19-year-old patient on fat-free intravenous nutrition.

This article discusses Fluxactive Complete, a natural supplement for prostate health, and reports no new clinical results.

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 study reported two cases of alopecia areata where hair regrowth was achieved with zinc gluconate and sulfur amino acids after relapse post-PUVA cessation, suggesting potential zinc responsiveness in some patients.

This study found that the combination of fluticasone propionate and UV-A was much more effective for vitiligo repigmentation than either treatment used alone, with no significant adverse effects reported.

This study observed that topical PUVA treatment led to excellent or good hair regrowth in 45.4% of patients with alopecia areata, though many experienced relapse after treatment stopped.

This scoping review reports that preclinical studies suggest omega fatty acids may promote hair follicle growth, but clinical evidence is mixed, with no support for their standalone use in treating alopecia.

PABA helps prevent gray hair and hair loss in mice.

This study found that individuals with frontal fibrosing alopecia have increased odds of thyroid disease, lupus erythematous, vitiligo, and heart disease, supporting the consideration of FFA as a systemic disorder.

In this study, finasteride was found to induce tissue-specific P-glycoprotein activity in the liver and kidney of rabbits after a 14-day treatment period.

Certain drugs and supplements may contribute to hair loss in the frontal hairline in older women.

Fetuin-A helps wounds heal without scars by promoting cell movement.

This case report describes frontal fibrosing alopecia in a woman with primary biliary cirrhosis and polymyalgia rheumatica, suggesting a possible autoimmune link to this form of hair loss.

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.

This study highlights the potential role of the CYP21A2 and CYP19A1 genes in severe acne vulgaris among Han Chinese, especially males.

This study found that feeding mice a high-fat diet with fish oil leads to hair loss through a mechanism involving omega-3 fatty acids and TNF-α signaling, with epidermal fatty acid binding protein playing a key role.

This study observed that higher PFAS concentrations during adolescence were linked to later pubertal development and lower estradiol levels in females, but not in males, potentially due to PFAS excretion with menstrual fluid.

This study found that fisetin, a dietary flavonoid, significantly improved psoriasiform skin lesions in mice by promoting cell differentiation, inhibiting proliferation, and modulating inflammatory responses.

In this study, knockout mice lacking the Cyp4f39 gene showed severe skin barrier dysfunction and high early mortality, suggesting its critical role in skin barrier formation and insights into ichthyosis pathogenesis.

This article discusses the features and increasing prevalence of frontal fibrosing alopecia, a type of scarring hair loss, and reports no new clinical results.
