This study provides one of the first descriptions of the demographic, clinical, and therapeutic characteristics of lichen planopilaris in Chilean adults, reporting that treatment usually reduced or halted disease progression.

Isolated long hairs at the original hairline can help diagnose Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia.

In this research, RNA expression analysis of scalp biopsies from lichen planopilaris patients revealed changes in specific genes after treatments with hydroxychloroquine, narrow band UVB, or low level laser light therapy, suggesting potential biomarkers and implicating M2 macrophages in the disease's immunopathogenesis.

Cellulite may be linked to low adiponectin, isotretinoin with UVB can treat psoriasis effectively, permanent alopecia post-chemotherapy resembles a unique hair loss, deodorants may cause fragrance allergies, desmoplastic melanoma is becoming more common, and intensive UVB treatment can give long-term psoriasis remission.

This article describes a rare case of infantile ring-shaped scalp alopecia and discusses differential diagnosis, approach, and preventive measures, but presents no new clinical results.

In this study, irreversible alopecia on the crown of the scalp in Black women using hot combs was associated with chronic inflammation and follicle damage leading to scarring.

In this study, researchers identified a form of irreversible scalp alopecia in Black women using hot combs, characterized by incomplete hair loss primarily on the crown and follicular scarring.

This article discusses an unusual complication of otoplasty, specifically frontal cicatricial alopecia caused by an over-stretched ear bandage, and highlights the need for surgeons to monitor bandage pressure and materials.

This case report documents a successful response to griseofulvin and prednisolone treatment in a 12-year-old boy with lichen planopilaris, characterized by patchy hair loss and distinct skin changes.

Treatment improved some symptoms but not all.

This report describes two male patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, a lymphocytic scarring hair loss condition often seen in postmenopausal women, highlighting its occurrence in men and its manifestation around the frontal hairline and other body areas.

This review discusses the evolving understanding of frontal fibrosing alopecia as a generalized skin condition with diverse manifestations, and reports no new clinical results.

This case report highlights traction alopecia in two adolescent Sikh brothers who developed scarring alopecia from wearing a turban, emphasizing the importance of early changes in hair care to prevent irreversible hair loss.

This study describes patients with moderate to severe scarring alopecia of the scalp margin and suggests that traction is not the sole cause for this condition, as half of the patients had no history of harsh hairstyling practices.

This case report highlights a rare instance of CD8-positive hypopigmented mycosis fungoides causing alopecia areata-like changes, emphasizing the necessity of scalp biopsy in such presentations.

This study emphasizes the importance of understanding cosmetic procedures and their risks, particularly for individuals with darker skin, and highlights expert recommendations for pre- and post-procedure skin care, including the use of broad-spectrum sunscreen to prevent and improve pigmentation disorders.

This study found that the use of hot combs with petrolatum in Black women causes irreversible alopecia limited to the crown of the scalp, resulting in follicular scarring.

This letter to the editor discusses an unusual complication, crescent-shaped incisional cuts, observed with Q-switched Nd:YAG 1064 laser tattoo removal and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that certain C57BL/6 mouse substrains have a genetic vulnerability to skin lesions resembling central centrifugal cicatrical alopecia in humans, potentially worsened by high vitamin A levels.

The document suggests a possible link between mast cells and scarring alopecia, recommending more research for potential treatments.

This summary from the EADV Congress, chaired by Ulrike Blume-Peytavi and Sergio Vaño-Galván, provided an overview of diagnosing and treating alopecia, but specific results and conclusions from the session were not reported in the abstract.

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

This article reviews various types of scarring alopecia, detailing their inflammatory characteristics, but presents no new clinical findings.

This study shows that multiphoton microscopy can non-invasively distinguish between scarring and non-scarring alopecia by identifying certain morphological features, but further research is needed to confirm its clinical utility.

Polarized microscopy is a quick and free method to correctly identify types of hair loss.

In this review, researchers found that TNF-α, IL-17, and JAK inhibitors show the most promise for stabilizing and resolving scarring alopecias, with IL-23 and Interferon Alpha Receptor 1 inhibitors also providing some benefits in managing these hair loss conditions.

This article discusses primary cicatricial alopecia, highlighting the need for early and precise diagnosis to effectively manage and treat these complex inflammatory hair disorders, but presents no new clinical results.
