New treatments are available for managing ingrown hair inflammation.

A young woman had a rare, usually non-cancerous tumor on her face that was initially mistaken for a different condition.

The combined treatments were highly effective for improving atrophic acne scars.

Breast implants are linked to autoimmune symptoms, with over half of patients feeling better after removal, but the exact cause is unclear and may involve bacterial biofilm.

Scalp laxity, elasticity, and glidability are important in hair transplants and can predict scar width at the donor site.

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) causes less postoperative pain than follicular unit transplantation (FUT), but pain from both methods decreases significantly within two days.

Hair follicle stem cells help skin heal and grow during stretching.

Hormones and stretching both needed for nipple area skin growth in mice.

Mechanical force is important for the first contact between skin cells and hair growth in mini-organs.

Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.

Surgical hair restoration has improved since 1959, with new techniques like minigrafts, micrografts, and scalp reductions creating more natural hairlines and reducing bald skin, despite some risks and potential for scarring.

Using a microfoam plaster on the forehead helps prevent eyelid swelling after hair transplant surgery.

Artificial dermis used for hair transplantation can reconstruct scalp defects effectively without the need for tissue expansion.

Stretching damages Caucasian hair's structure more easily than Asian hair.

Cationic polymers improved liposome stability and increased skin absorption of aciclovir and minoxidil.

African spiny mice can regenerate skin, hair, and cartilage, but not muscle, and their unique abilities could be useful for regenerative medicine.

The skin is a complex barrier for drug penetration, but understanding its structure and interactions can improve drug delivery methods.

Artificial skin development has challenges, but new materials and understanding cell behavior could improve tissue repair. Also, certain growth factors and hydrogel technology show promise for advanced skin replacement therapies.

Pregnancy can cause skin darkening, varicose veins, more sweating, hair growth, hair loss after birth, nail changes, and gum inflammation.

The hydrogel with a 1:3 ratio of hydroxyethyl cellulose to hyaluronic acid is effective for delivering drugs through the skin to treat acne.

Skin diseases differ between Ghana and the UK, with infections most common in Ghana and malignant skin diseases most prevalent in the UK.

Menopause reduces skin collagen and elasticity, and while estrogen therapy can help, its risks require careful consideration.

Mesenchymal stem cells show potential for skin healing and anti-aging, but more research is needed for safe use, especially regarding stem cells from induced pluripotent sources.

After menopause, women lose a lot of skin collagen, but estrogen replacement might improve skin health.

Pregnancy often causes skin changes like darkening, stretch marks, and hair growth, which may improve after childbirth.

Skin grafts are effective for chronic leg ulcers, especially autologous split-thickness grafts for venous ulcers, but more data is needed for diabetic ulcers.

Skin bacteria, specifically Staphylococcus aureus, help in wound healing and hair growth by using IL-1β signaling. Using antibiotics on skin wounds can slow down this natural healing process.

Menopause significantly reduces skin collagen, leading to thinner, less elastic skin, and hormone replacement may help but requires careful consideration.

Skin aging is largely due to differences in stiffness and elasticity between skin layers, leading to wrinkles.

Researchers created better skin-application menthol capsules that are stable, safe, and penetrate the skin quickly.
