In this study, researchers examined 1,000 South Asian patients misusing topical corticosteroids for dermatophytosis and found that this misuse resulted in atypical, chronic, and recurrent fungal infections called steroid-modified dermatophytosis, often involving extensive and atypical skin presentations.

This study found that mice lacking the CXCR2 receptor regenerated tissue scarlessly in various injury models and that administering plasma or G-CSF from these mice to wild-type mice also reduced scarring, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies to improve human skin wound healing.

This article presents a case of trichostasis spinulosa, a common but often unrecognized disorder, diagnosed through dermoscopic examination of black macules revealing bundled vellus hairs, with the patient declining treatment.

This case report describes erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp in a 55-year-old woman, which improved rapidly with oral antibiotics and topical corticosteroids but resulted in permanent scarring alopecia, emphasizing the need for prompt diagnosis and treatment to minimize scarring.

This report suggests that CO2 laser treatment may be an effective alternative for removing traumatic tattoos caused by firearms, based on two successful patient cases.

In this study, injecting Fetuin A into embryonic mouse wounds led to scar formation, suggesting the protein may play a role in scar development by promoting collagen production.

This study found that gelatin sponges used as scaffolds in rats with deep wounds and periosteal defects enabled regeneration of diverse tissue types, including periosteum, skin, and appendages, highlighting the role of vascular niche formation.

This report describes a rare case of a three-day-old male with ichthyosis hystrix type of epidermal nevus, featuring specific skin and hair symptoms but no nail or skeletal abnormalities.

This study shows that multiphoton microscopy can non-invasively distinguish scarring from non-scarring alopecia by identifying specific morphological features in hair follicle structures.

This chapter examines common and less common complications associated with the strip method of hair transplantation and discusses management strategies, but it does not report new clinical results.

This study found that long-term morbidity from scalp skin harvesting for grafts is low, with high patient satisfaction, and androgenetic alopecia is unlikely to uncover underlying harvest-related hair loss.

This paper discusses therapies for damaged scalps from hair and fiber implants and reports no new clinical findings, calling attention to treatment complexities.

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 5-year-old girl with an extensive Microsporum canis scalp infection, highlighting griseofulvin as the preferred treatment and noting corticosteroids' benefit in severe inflammatory cases.

In this case report, a 31-year-old man developed erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp after hair transplant surgery, highlighting potential surgical trauma as a trigger for this condition in younger patients.

This article reviews challenges and errors in performing Mohs surgery, emphasizing vigilance in maintaining its procedural integrity for successful treatment outcomes, and reports no new clinical findings.

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

In this study, two cases of cutis verticis gyrata were associated with chronic traction alopecia due to tight hairstyles, highlighting the need to consider hairstyling history in diagnosis and management.

This study suggests using a handheld dermatoscope may allow for simple and efficient differentiation of eruptive vellus hair cysts by detecting vellus hair shafts, as demonstrated in a familial case involving five women.

In this study, multiple mini punch grafts significantly improved epithelialization, covering more than 90% of a large ulcer in a 6-year-old boy after eight weeks.

This study found that implanting hair-follicle-associated pluripotent stem cell sheets in mice significantly accelerated wound closure and reduced scar formation compared to non-implanted controls.

This article reviews treatment approaches for cicatricial alopecia, describing how medication efficacy varies and suggesting autologous hair transplantation for stable cases; no new clinical data are presented.

This case report describes a six-year-old girl with hypertrichosis cubiti, characterized by excess terminal hair growth around the elbows, and notes treatment with over-the-counter depilatory creams and shaving to address aesthetic concerns.

This study demonstrates the use of microscopy-guided laser ablation to create a highly structured 3D hydrogel-based organotypic skin model with folliculoid structures, potentially useful for studying hair follicle development or bioactive substance screening.

This study associated ivory-colored areas observed through trichoscopy with steroid deposits in the dermis among patients with steroid-induced atrophy on the scalp.

This article discusses the potential of intralesional cidofovir as a treatment for SCC and reports no systemic toxicity, but highlights surgical excision as the most reliable curative option.

This case report describes Halo Scalp Ring, a rare type of non-scarring alopecia in newborns, emphasizing the importance of proper diagnosis to avoid unnecessary tests and timely referral for potential hair restoration if scarring alopecia develops.

In this study conducted from September to November 2023, researchers used trichoscopy to accurately diagnose cicatricial alopecias by revealing unique patterns, reducing the need for biopsies, and proving to be a valuable non-invasive diagnostic method.

This study found that a pre-operative technique with limited hair shaving reduced surgical infections needing bone flap removal to 0.6% in cranial neurosurgical patients.

This review discusses a multistage hand rejuvenation protocol involving topical therapies, intense pulsed light, autologous fat injections, and surgical excision, but reports no new clinical results.
