This study described a rare case of bullous pemphigoid presenting as cicatricial alopecia in a Hispanic female, successfully treated with a combination of oral methotrexate and topical steroids.

This study found that more than 70% of patients with autoimmune blistering diseases experienced alopecia, with about 10% having scarring alopecia, and elevated Dsg1 ratios were linked to hair loss in pemphigus vulgaris.

A skin condition called pyodermatitis vegetans was found in a patient with multiple myeloma for the first time.

This study found that Malassezia globosa, a scalp-associated fungus linked to dandruff, grows with saturated but not unsaturated fatty acids, potentially causing unsaturated fatty acid accumulation on the scalp and triggering dandruff-like flaking in susceptible individuals.

This meeting abstract volume for the Society for Pediatric Dermatology reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a patient who developed severe alopecia and a rash after increasing captopril dosage, which resolved upon discontinuing the medication.

This paper reviews Behcet's disease, noting diverse manifestations with oral aphthosis most common, but reports no new results beyond existing surveys and case series.

This article discusses the roles of pediatrics and dermatology departments at Yale University School of Medicine, but reports no specific clinical results.

This case report describes an elderly man with erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp, who improved with potent topical corticosteroids followed by maintenance with topical tacrolimus.

This article reviews various treatments for scalp psoriasis, emphasizing the effectiveness and long-term safety of combining potent corticosteroids with vitamin D3 analogues, but reports no new clinical results.

The document explains different hair and scalp conditions, including common hair loss after pregnancy or illness, drug-induced hair loss, hereditary excessive hair growth, patterned baldness, autoimmune hair loss, and permanent loss due to skin disease, with generally limited treatment options.

This case report is the first to document the coexistence of bullous pemphigoid, malignant tumors, and alopecia areata in a patient, highlighting the complete resolution of skin lesions with dupilumab and spontaneous hair regrowth without disease-specific treatment.

This observational study conducted in an Indian hospital found that autoimmune conditions, particularly alopecia areata, were the most prevalent scalp dermatoses among 152 patients, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis and treatment to address both physical and psychological impacts.

This study describes a new method for isolating intact human eccrine glands from scalp follicular units, potentially advancing research on sweat gland physiology.

This review provides a framework for diagnosing acquired scalp alopecias and discusses both non-scarring and scarring types, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses various causes and treatments of scalp pruritus, distinguishing between conditions with primary skin lesions and those without, but provides no new clinical results.

This study found that finasteride (1 mg/day) appeared to reverse the shortening of the hair cycle in androgen sensitive sites but did not convert miniaturized hair into terminal hair.

In this study, researchers found that cytokine dysregulation linked to genetic background is present in both patients and healthy but genetically related individuals in two autoimmune skin diseases, Pemphigus vulgaris and Alopecia areata, suggesting that protective immune mechanisms may prevent disease manifestation in predisposed individuals.

This study found that adding cyclophosphamide to glucocorticoid treatment for pemphigus patients led to earlier remission, with 89.5% achieving remission within 4 months compared to 73.9% with glucocorticoids alone, suggesting significant steroid-sparing effects and improved clinical outcomes.

This review discusses neutrophil-associated and infiltrative scarring alopecias, as well as promising new treatments, but reports no new clinical results.

This study used rapid-freezing immunocytochemistry to successfully map the ultrastructural localization of hair keratins in human scalp hair, primarily finding them in macrofibrils in the cortex and endocuticle.

An 84-year-old man got a rare scalp condition from using imiquimod cream, which was cured with systemic steroids.

Two elderly men developed scalp inflammation after using a gel for skin lesions, which healed with treatment except for some permanent hair loss.

This article discusses the uses and techniques of trichoscopy for hair and scalp disorders and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that self-assessed mFG and Hirsuta scores have low specificity for diagnosing hirsutism in clinical settings, though they may still be useful for screening in epidemiological studies.

In this study, trichoscopy was found to be a valuable non-invasive tool for diagnosing scalp lesions, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and reducing the need for scalp biopsies by identifying specific trichoscopic features associated with conditions like psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and alopecia areata.

In this study of 20 patients with erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp, using trichoscopy improved diagnosis, and treatments with high-potency steroids or topical tacrolimus effectively reduced inflammatory signs, suggesting these as first-line treatments.

In this study, researchers developed a non-invasive method to distinguish exogen hair from telogen hair on the human scalp, finding that normal exogen hair levels are generally less than seven hairs per cm².

This study concluded that erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp may be a type of spongiotic, pustular superficial folliculitis, sharing similarities with other neutrophilic dermatoses.

This letter discusses a case of erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp linked to topical latanoprost use for androgenetic alopecia, but reports no clinical results.
