This article reports on three new cases of Birt–Hogg–Dubé Syndrome and emphasizes the role of genetic analysis in its diagnosis due to clinical challenges.

This study found a high prevalence of genital Lichen sclerosus and autoimmune comorbidities in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting a possible shared autoimmune process.

In this study, methotrexate effectively treated juvenile localized scleroderma in most cases, with few patients showing resistance and no identifiable profile for these resistant individuals.

Foam sclerotherapy for varicose veins may cause unexpected hair growth.

This study concluded that erosive lichen sclerosus is a distinct subtype marked by red patches on hairless skin, while ulcerated lichen sclerosus typically results from trauma in uncontrolled dermatosis.

This abstract discusses Lichen Sclerosus, a chronic skin condition affecting the genitals, highlighting its symptoms, complications, and impact on quality of life, but reports no new clinical findings.

This case report describes a 55-year-old woman who experienced transient hair loss possibly linked to the start of dimethyl-fumarate therapy for relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis.

This article discusses the role of lysophosphatidic acid-induced histamine release in generalized pruritus among patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis and reports no new clinical results.

Wharton's Jelly stem cell medium may help treat skin issues in Systemic Sclerosis.

This study reports two cases of Alopecia Universalis as a secondary autoimmune manifestation following Alemtuzumab treatment, highlighting the importance of screening and monitoring for such autoimmune responses.

This case report discusses a rare occurrence of systemic sclerosis with lupus erythematosus panniculitis in a Japanese patient and highlights hydroxychloroquine as a potential treatment, noting a dramatic improvement.

This study found that patients with lichen sclerosus et atrophicus who have autoimmune-related phenomena do not experience a different natural history of the disease compared to those without such phenomena.

This study demonstrated that CD19-CAR T cell therapy may promote structural regeneration in the skin of systemic sclerosis patients, as evidenced by histological improvements and fibroblast population changes, suggesting its potential for tissue remodeling in fibrotic diseases.

This case report discusses a 58-year-old female diagnosed with oral lichen sclerosus, an extremely rare form of the disorder, which improved following treatment with topical and intralesional corticosteroids, highlighting the importance of recognizing this rare condition in the oral mucosa.

Hyaluronic acid injections can improve mouth opening and quality of life in scleroderma patients.

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

This study found that Punica granatum ethanolic leaf extract may alleviate skin fibrosis in rats by modulating inflammation-related pathways and reducing dermal alterations.

In this study involving patients with Multiple Sclerosis, higher hair cortisol levels and being Black were linked to poorer cognitive performance, while increased perceived stress and depression were associated with greater fatigue, highlighting distinct associations between objective and subjective stress measures and MS-related outcomes.

In this study, researchers found that the health state utility of moderate facial angiofibroma in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex patients is significantly lower compared to almost-clear facial angiofibroma, indicating that treatment for the condition can substantially improve quality of life.

This study found that collecting hair samples for cortisol analysis is feasible in community-dwelling individuals with longstanding multiple sclerosis, although no significant correlation between hair cortisol levels and perceived chronic stress was observed, highlighting the complexity of stress measurement in this population.

This scoping review aims to map existing literature on alopecia associated with multiple sclerosis disease-modifying therapies, exploring types, incidence, and potential mechanisms, while noting that observed cases may be related more to treatment-induced immune changes than the disease itself.

This case report describes a 45-year-old woman with an SLE-SSc overlap syndrome who experienced significant improvement in symptoms after tailored immunosuppressive therapy including prednisone and mycophenolate mofetil.

This study found that Annexin A5 significantly reduced fibrosis and inflammation in both preventive and therapeutic contexts in a bleomycin-induced localized scleroderma mouse model, demonstrating its potential anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory effects for treating fibrotic diseases.
