Skin changes can indicate starvation and nutritional deficiencies in anorexia nervosa.

This pilot study suggests that a new preparation of platelet-rich plasma gel may improve symptoms and tissue regeneration in patients with en coup de sabre scleroderma, though further trials are needed to clarify its role.

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.

In this study, outbreaks of tinea capitis caused by Trichophyton tonsurans were linked to hairdressing in Sardinian barbershops, with 10 young adult men developing the infection following haircuts; timely treatment is crucial to prevent complications like scarring alopecia.

In this case study, a 12-year-old boy with a restricted diet exhibited symptoms of scurvy, including leg weakness and bruising, which improved following treatment with vitamin C and B12 supplements, highlighting the impact of severe vitamin deficiencies on health.

A new method was developed to create better skin models for healing and reconstruction.

Scarring alopecias are complex hair loss disorders that require early treatment to prevent permanent hair loss.

In this study, researchers discovered a honeycomb-like structure in the skin of spiny mice that facilitates tissue shedding and regeneration, attributed to a uniquely arranged collagen VI and influenced by spiny hair development.

This article discusses the Sacred Heart version of the bilobed flap for scalp reconstruction to close small defects without skin grafts and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that coconut seed extract may effectively treat scabies in rabbits by improving infection signs and causing high mite mortality, suggesting its potential as a cost-effective herbal alternative.

In this study, fetal rat wounds at gestational age 16 days healed without scar formation and resembled normal skin architecture, unlike those at 18 days which resulted in scarring and lack of hair follicles.

This study describes Pseudopelade of Brocq as a rare and enigmatic scarring alopecia characterized by irregular hair loss patterns on the scalp, requiring exclusion of other conditions like lichen planopilaris and discoid lupus erythematosus for a specific diagnosis.

This study found that transplanting hair follicles into human scars may remodel fibrotic tissue and reduce scarring by altering collagen structure and decreasing pro-fibrotic factors.

In this study, patients experienced scarless regenerative healing of scalp donor wounds, and the researchers highlighted that proper wound dressing can prevent alopecia and scarring in infected wounds, suggesting the potential of scalp skin grafts for optimal healing.

This study reported that squamous cell carcinomas of the scalp can be extraordinarily aggressive, potentially metastasizing and causing death, highlighting the need for early diagnosis and careful treatment approaches.

This case study highlights that sarcoidosis lesions can occur following hair removal by waxing, emphasizing the need to consider superficial traumas as potential triggers for cutaneous sarcoidosis.

This study found that premature desquamation of the inner root sheath is a non-specific histologic feature in scarring alopecia and cannot be used alone to define central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

In this case study, a 74-year-old woman improved her scalp hair condition by reducing chronic rubbing, leading to hair regrowth without ongoing abnormalities after behavior modification.

This study found that island grafting in guinea pigs enabled the isolated study of early skin regeneration processes, distinguishing them from natural wound closure mechanisms like epithelialization and contraction.

In this study, researchers explored the molecular and cellular traits of avian reticulate scales, finding that they lack localized stem cell niches for regeneration, unlike other scale types, leading to repair but not regeneration after wounding.

This case report highlighted the use of dermoscopy not only for diagnosing skin disorders but also as an educational tool to inform patients about the harmful effects of unqualified medical advice, particularly highlighting the quackery issue in dermatology.

This case report in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology discusses dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, emphasizing its disproportionate impact on Black males and the need for early diagnosis and effective management to mitigate scarring and quality of life issues.

This study reported that squamous cell carcinomas of the scalp can become extraordinarily aggressive, highlighting the need for early diagnosis and careful use of treatment strategies like wide excision and radiation therapy.

This overview describes the Dermatologic Surgery journal's focus on a wide range of dermatologic surgical procedures, but it reports no new research findings.

This article highlights that hair restoration surgeons are generally comfortable performing scalp biopsies or excisions due to their routine work on the highly vascular scalp; however, it presents no new research findings.

Understanding and targeting specific molecules can help reduce scarring and promote scar-free healing.

In this study, researchers observed that epidermal damage may increase susceptibility to Bacillus anthracis infection, allowing it access through hair follicles and the denuded dermis in mice.

In this study, researchers developed a new variant of the Mercedes flap with releasing incisions for reconstructing medium-sized scalp defects, demonstrating complete defect closure without complications in three patients following a single operation with excellent aesthetic outcomes.

This pilot clinical trial observed that combining subcision using a blunt cannula with platelet-rich plasma injections and microneedling for post-acne rolling scars was associated with a significant positive correlation between physician satisfaction and age of acne onset.

This article discusses dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, an uncommon hair condition, and reports no new clinical results; recent terminology adjustments are noted for potential overlaps with other follicular diseases.
