This study found that subcutaneous testosterone therapy improved scalp hair growth in a majority of androgen-deficient women who previously reported hair thinning and did not report hair loss as a side effect.

This article reviews prominent variants of scalp hair folliculitis and their differential diagnosis, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that intraoperative tissue expansion increased the amount of excised scalp by 20-30% during scalp reduction surgery for male pattern alopecia.

Reflectance confocal microscopy can tell apart white dots on the scalp as either sweat gland ducts or hair follicle openings.

This study reports that micropigmentation with iron oxide pigments is a safe and effective method for camouflaging scalp scars.

This article discusses scalp reconstruction techniques using rotation flaps, with no new clinical results reported.

This study found that adjuvant docetaxel treatment for breast cancer at cumulative doses of 400 mg/m² or higher is associated with a 10% prevalence of persistent alopecia leading to wig use, but this was completely prevented with scalp cooling.

This study describes a case where stopping infliximab and using oral minocycline with topical treatments effectively resolved alopecia and scalp psoriasis in a woman with Crohn's disease.

This study suggests that for single biopsy specimens, transverse sections may be preferable for diagnosing noncicatricial alopecia, while vertical sections may be better for suspected lichen planopilaris.

This article discusses how the balding scalp's exposure to UV and near-infrared light may accelerate aging, with changes detectable under ultraviolet light; it presents no new clinical findings.

This article reviews various reconstructive surgery techniques for scalp wounds and emphasizes factors affecting aesthetic outcomes, but it presents no new clinical findings.

Minoxidil can cause scalp comedones and acne.

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 study identified five distinct scalp whorl patterns, noting that white males have the most distinct whorls, while African Americans and women more often exhibit a diffusion pattern.

This study found that dissecting folliculitis is more common than previously thought in Taiwan, with obesity possibly linked to higher severity of this condition, but smoking not associated.

In this study, researchers found that WNT activation influenced FGF expression in human scalp-derived fibroblasts, with mouse model results showing FGF9 increased hair follicle number and diameter, while FGF7 reduced diameter.

This paper provides an overview of scalp cooling as an effective and safe intervention for preventing chemotherapy-induced alopecia, addressing its impact on cancer patients and survivors.

This study found that their system effectively supports the rapid formation of human hair follicle organoids, providing a platform for studying hair regeneration and drug screening.

This article reviews the complex challenges of managing scalp and cranial deformities post-trauma or surgery, advocating for better multidisciplinary approaches to enhance outcomes, but reports no new results.

This study found that SDR5A1 gene expression was similar between hirsute women, normal women, and men, suggesting it may not explain differences in hair growth among these groups.

This report describes a Danish family with autosomal dominant hypotrichosis, where affected members experienced gradual diffuse hair loss leading to near-total scalp alopecia by ages 14-21.

In this case report, an elderly woman with erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp showed complete closure of eroded areas after treatment with prednisone and topical tacrolimus, resulting in stable scarring alopecia.

This study found that scalp involvement in dermatomyositis consistently shows a nonscarring pattern with chronic telogen effluvium, featuring telangiectasia and mucin deposition as universal histologic markers.

This small study reports that a 6-group geometric classification method is more reliable for classifying human hair curl, although a digital system could further reduce errors.

In this clinical study, the use of potentiated zinc pyrithione shampoo improved scalp health and hair surface characteristics, suggesting that unhealthy scalp conditions may negatively impact pre-emergent hair's cuticle surface.

In this case report, an 18-year-old male with dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, characterized by painful nodules and hair loss, showed successful treatment outcomes with oral isotretinoin therapy.

This study observed that donor strip scar width after hair transplantation was correlated with preoperative scalp laxity and elasticity but not with glidability.

This study analyzed patch test results to identify allergens causing scalp contact dermatitis, finding nickel, cobalt, and balsam of Peru among the most common in the patient population.

In this study, researchers characterized the normal scalp hair properties in South Koreans, observing that hair density declined with age and varied across scalp sites, while hair thickness patterns remained relatively stable until later in life.

This study found that the penetration enhancer SEPA™ significantly increased both the speed and amount of hair growth from minoxidil in balding stumptail macaques compared to Rogaine®.
