This case report describes a 52-year-old woman with a rare combination of pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus on the scalp, initially misdiagnosed as psoriasis, who achieved clinical remission and hair regrowth with corticosteroid treatment.

In this case study, two middle-aged patients with pruritic scalp erosions were diagnosed with localized pemphigus vulgaris, which resolved without relapse after treatment with low-dose oral prednisone and intralesional triamcinolone acetonide.

This review presents a case of cicatricial pemphigoid with scarring alopecia and notes its rarity but significant cosmetic distress among cicatricial pemphigoid patients in Oxford.

This study suggests that trichoscopy may assist in diagnosing pemphigus, particularly for scalp-specific lesions, by identifying certain characteristic features.

This study found that scalp involvement in pemphigus is linked to greater disease severity and longer times to achieve both clinical and serological remission, suggesting it may require more aggressive treatment.

This case report describes dermoscopic features of pemphigus vulgaris on the scalp, highlighting that hair casts may suggest treatment adjustment for improved disease control.

This article discusses pemphigus vegetans of the scalp and references its clinical presentation and pathology, but it reports no new research findings.

This review summarizes recent findings on scalp involvement in pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus, highlighting diagnostic methods and their underlying histopathological, immunopathological, and clinical features, but reports no new clinical results.

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 study found that follicular acantholysis is a common histopathological feature in pemphigus, with differences in depth between pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus lesions that may aid in diagnosis.

This study found that direct immunofluorescence of hair is a simple and non-invasive alternative for monitoring pemphigus vulgaris, matching skin biopsy results in the cases observed.

This case report suggests that tufted hair formation can occur in localized exudative inflammatory scalp lesions, as observed in a Japanese man with pemphigus vulgaris.

This study describes a patient with metastatic renal cell carcinoma who experienced a recurrence of pemphigus vulgaris after receiving interleukin 2 immunotherapy, suggesting a possible link between the treatment and autoimmune disease recurrence.

This study observed that in pemphigus vulgaris patients, hair loss and alopecic patches may result from anti-desmoglein autoantibody-mediated acantholysis and inflammatory changes, leading to non-scarring alopecia with potential for regrowth after treatment.

This case report describes a unique instance of IgG/IgA pemphigus in a Chinese woman, highlighting its distinct clinical and immunopathologic characteristics, including successful management with dapsone and prednisolone.

An elderly man's non-healing scalp lesion was successfully treated with a strong topical steroid.

This study describes how avian-inspired imagery is used in dermatology to help clinicians and patients identify and communicate skin conditions, using familiar terms like "chicken skin" and "fried egg" to capture specific visual patterns and clinical features.

This study reported that trichoscopy revealed distinctive patterns across different autoimmune bullous diseases, suggesting it can be a useful preliminary diagnostic tool for differentiating these conditions.

Examining scalp tissue under a microscope helps diagnose and understand hair loss diseases.

It's important to tell the difference between hair casts, pseudocasts, and nits.

This review discusses how trichoscopy is becoming a preferred non-invasive diagnostic tool over trichograms for evaluating hair disorders, although it reports no clinical results.

This conference proceeding abstract provides no new research results, focusing only on event details from the British Association of Dermatology's Forty-Sixth Annual Meeting held in Oxford in 1966.

This review discusses the increasing reports of rare cutaneous side effects from topical imiquimod, aiming to inform physicians and dermatologists about its potential adverse effects as its use expands.

This review discusses the association between scarring alopecia and inflammatory processes in common acquired bullous disorders of the scalp, and reports no new clinical findings.

This research observed that triamcinolone was more effective at inducing remission in cats with pemphigus foliaceus without significant side effects compared to prednisone or its combination with chlorambucil.

This case report describes a patient with mucous membrane pemphigoid who experienced recurrent blisters and cicatricial alopecia, showing improvement with prednisolone and dapsone treatment.

In this case report, researchers documented a 71-year-old woman with both alopecia areata and bullous pemphigoid who showed significant improvement using dupilumab after other treatments failed, highlighting its potential for autoimmune diseases with overlapping inflammatory mechanisms.

Rituximab treatment led to complete hair regrowth and improved skin in a woman with pemphigus foliaceus.

In this report, the authors describe the case of an 83-year-old woman initially diagnosed with atrophic actinic keratosis, but further examination and skin biopsies at their clinic suggested the presence of an inflammatory disease, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing pemphigus.

This case report describes the first known instance of pemphigus vulgaris induced after platelet-rich plasma treatment for female pattern hair loss.
