This case report describes the first instance of classical lichen planopilaris with atrophic lichenoid plaques developing in a Blaschko-linear pattern due to imatinib treatment in a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia.

In this case report, a 36-year-old woman was diagnosed with iatrogenic Cushing Syndrome caused by topical steroid use, leading to skin ulcers, diabetes, and anemia. Her condition improved after discontinuing the steroids and receiving appropriate treatment.

This genome-wide association study identified several genetic markers, including specific SNPs and HLA genotypes, associated with alopecia areata susceptibility in the Taiwanese population, highlighting key pathways involved in immune response and offering insights into the genetic origins of this autoimmune condition.

This study found that fluconazole induced early hair follicle resting phase (telogen effluvium) in rats, without changing retinoic acid levels in rats or human patients, suggesting further investigation into fluconazole's hair loss mechanism is needed.

In this study, researchers observed menopausal stage-specific differences in the prevalence and abundance of Malassezia species on the skin of 345 Asian women, linking menopause-driven skin changes to Malassezia-induced keratinocyte dysfunction and inflammation, which could contribute to dermatological diseases.

In this case study, a 15-year-old obese boy was diagnosed with acanthosis nigricans and hair casts in the axillae, with Wood's lamp and dermoscopic examination revealing specific features, yet fungal infection was ruled out through a negative KOH test.

This narrative review highlights the potential of exosomes in regenerative and aesthetic dermatology, particularly in India, but emphasizes that their clinical use is still investigational due to limited and diverse study data, insufficient long-term safety information, and regulatory challenges.

In this study, ketoconazole-loaded transferosomes were developed and demonstrated improved hair growth compared to a commercially available ketoconazole product, with the formulation showing enhanced drug penetration and minimal skin irritation in vivo.

People with androgenetic alopecia may have a higher risk of peripheral venous disorders.

This review explores the biological applications and pharmacokinetics of decursin, a compound isolated from Angelica gigas, highlighting its potential neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties based on in vitro and in vivo studies.

This study found that free testosterone levels were 29% higher with the levonorgestrel implant than with the DMPA injection, which may impact sexual function, mood, and side effects like acne.

Polyacetylene compounds from Panax ginseng may slow hair growth.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman who experienced facial erythema, acne, and hirsutism due to excess androgen and estrogen levels.

In this study, alternating PRP with microneedling produced faster hair growth results in patients with mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia compared to PRP alone.

In this study, no significant link was found between cap-wearing habits and quality of life in Indian males over 50 with androgenic alopecia, but more severe alopecia was associated with a poorer quality of life.

In this study, researchers developed an antioxidant hair tonic using Dipteryx odorata (cumaru) extract, aimed at treating scalp psoriasis, which could potentially improve quality of life for patients due to its natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

This study found that castration-resistant prostate cancers resistant to CYP17A1 inhibitors may still depend on steroids and could respond to therapies targeting de novo intratumoral steroid synthesis.

This systematic review and meta-analysis reported potential risk variants for acne in genes related to inflammation and sebaceous gland function, including TNF, CYP17A1, and FST, across diverse populations.

This case report describes a woman with hyperandrogenism and menstrual disturbances, where an ovarian steroid cell tumor was identified and removed, leading to resolution of symptoms.

This study found that treatment with the synbiotic SIM01 significantly alleviated multiple symptoms of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome compared to placebo, suggesting potential management benefits through gut microbiome modulation.

This study found that DNA damage in obese women was linked to serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and hair chromium levels, with higher serum vitamin D associated with less damage and higher chromium with more damage.

This study found that androgenic alopecia significantly impairs quality of life among adults, with higher impairment observed in males and those who are employed.

This study found that an exosome formulation with plant extracts significantly increased hair regrowth in men with male pattern alopecia compared to a placebo, without notable adverse effects.

This study found that DermaCult™ Keratinocyte Expansion Medium allows for significantly extended growth of human epidermal keratinocytes while maintaining their differentiation potential.

This study explores the development of a liposomal gel containing andrographolide from the plant Andrographis paniculata to potentially improve psoriasis management by enhancing drug delivery and reducing side effects of conventional treatments.

In this study, researchers found that chemical treatments like bleaching can cause severe damage to the hair cuticle, with previously modified hair showing complete deterioration compared to the partial degradation seen in virgin hair, highlighting the need for mindful cosmetic practices.
