This study identified specific reflectance confocal microscopy features that help differentiate scarring from non-scarring alopecia, providing a non-invasive diagnostic tool.

This study found that while the CLASI is generally useful for assessing disease activity and damage in cutaneous lupus erythematosus, it may not accurately reflect all subtypes, indicating a need for revision.

This study found that oral spironolactone improved certain biomarkers in central serous chorioretinopathy patients, but recurrence, especially in older patients, was relatively common.

A patient had both chronic lupus and systemic scleroderma, requiring careful treatment to manage symptoms.

This phase 1 study reported that after administering supratherapeutic doses of cortexolone 17α‐propionate, a topical antiandrogen intended for hair loss treatment, there was no effect on the QTc interval, indicating no measurable cardiac safety concerns in the concentration range tested.

In this study, newly diagnosed women with mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome and those with alopecia experienced significantly poorer health-related quality of life.

Three molecular subtypes of advanced skin T-cell lymphoma were identified, with potential biomarkers for predicting treatment response and disease progression.

This historical observation found that parathyroid extract treatment in newborn rats led to a condition resembling scleroderma, characterized by skin hardening, calcium deposition, and possible necrosis.

This case report describes a rare instance of double-lined frontoparietal scleroderma en coup de sabre and suggests a genetic basis involving postzygotic mosaicism.

This case report describes a rare aggressive variant of squamous cell carcinoma on the scalp of a non-immunosuppressed older male, highlighting its high biological risk for metastasis and poor outcomes.

This study concluded that removing alopecia and mucous membrane components from the CLASI-A score limits the ability to capture crucial clinical information about cutaneous lupus erythematosus activity, recommending their retention.

This study demonstrated immunological cross-reactivity between mycobacterial heat-shock protein 65 and human epidermal cytokeratin 1/2, suggesting that this cross-reactive epitope might play a role in skin diseases.

This article evaluates reflectance confocal microscopy features of scalp melanoma but reports no new clinical results, suggesting further investigation is needed.

USB videodermatoscopes are a practical and affordable alternative for diagnosing skin conditions.

This study reported that the combination of a 308-nm excimer lamp and 10% liquor carbonis detergens significantly improved scalp psoriasis symptoms compared to the excimer lamp alone, with more patients achieving 75% reduction in their Psoriasis Scalp Severity Index.

This study suggests that using the International Psoriasis Council's classification, which includes body surface area, special areas, and treatment history, may identify more candidates for systemic therapy than by body surface area alone.

Early intervention is important for limited systemic sclerosis patients due to higher pain and ulceration risks.

A 70-year-old man with skin cancer on both sides of his forehead was treated with surgery and cryotherapy, highlighting the need for early detection and prevention.

This study found significant heterogeneity in transcriptome patterns among SSc patients, identifying prominent fibroinflammatory and keratin signatures that may aid in stratifying patients for targeted treatment approaches.

This study classified scars in discoid lupus erythematosus patients into six types based on anatomical location and morphology, suggesting early identification might influence more aggressive treatment strategies.

This case report describes a 68-year-old woman diagnosed with chronic cutaneous lupus, characterized by irregular plaques with distinct pigmentation and scarring alopecia, confirmed through histopathology revealing specific skin changes.

This article discusses the SLICC's revision and validation of the ACR SLE classification criteria to enhance clinical relevance and integrate recent immunological insights, but does not report new clinical results.

PCFCL may have unrecognized subtypes and needs more research.

This study describes the development of the EUSCLE Core Set Questionnaire for cutaneous lupus erythematosus, designed to standardize data collection, facilitate epidemiological analysis, and guide diagnostic and therapeutic strategies across European centers.

This report describes a case of Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome with manifestations including multiple fibrofolliculomas, acrochordons, and renal oncocytoma.

This study found that the scalp coverage scoring (SCS) method is a non-invasive and reproducible technique that effectively measures hair growth and loss dynamics in male subjects with androgenetic alopecia.

This source reports that clascoterone cream has been approved in the U.S. for treating acne vulgaris in patients aged 12 and older, suggesting it works by competing with dihydrotestosterone at androgen receptors to mitigate acne's effects.

This study aimed to identify the factors that influence the clinical severity of scalp seborrheic dermatitis, although specific results are not reported.

This article discusses revised SLE classification criteria by the SLICC and reports no new research results.
