This article reviews various updates in dermatology, including drug safety alerts and treatment options, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that topical fulvestrant did not significantly improve hair growth parameters in men and postmenopausal women with androgenetic alopecia, unlike minoxidil, which was more effective in men.

This study found that polymeric micelle nanocarriers delivered pharmacologically relevant amounts of spironolactone to the epidermis and upper dermis, with higher delivery to pilosebaceous units, suggesting potential for treating glucocorticoid-induced impaired wound healing and pilosebaceous androgen-related skin diseases.

In this study, autologous platelet concentrates and topical steroids similarly reduced lesion size, Thongprasom scale, and pain in oral lichen planus patients, suggesting autologous platelet concentrates as a potential alternative treatment.

The researchers reported that low-dose methotrexate, in combination with surgical dilatation and local treatments, may improve symptoms in patients with severe stenosing vulvovaginal lichen planus.

This study demonstrated that a new topical treatment using ketotifen-loaded microneedles, designed for prolonged release, significantly reduced inflammatory markers in an animal model of allergic conjunctivitis, suggesting enhanced therapeutic delivery and sustained ocular benefits.

In this study, BS and BO combined showed a synergistic effect in enhancing wound healing in rat skin lesions compared to using either alone or Flamazine®.

In this randomized, placebo-controlled study, Kūlaris supplementation significantly improved quality of life for participants with mild-to-severe acne over 12 weeks, though no significant changes in general skin health measures were observed compared to placebo.

In this study, both methotrexate gel and betamethasone lotion were found to be effective and safe treatments for localized alopecia areata, with similar overall response rates. However, methotrexate gel had a higher incidence of local side effects, such as irritant dermatitis and itching.

This source describes the development of a new cream combining salicylic acid and retinol, assessed for its potential to alleviate itching in dermatitis and treat acne vulgaris, with stability and patch testing indicating no irritation or allergic reactions.

This study presents a microscopic analysis of the pruritic variant of trichostasis spinulosa in two patients and reviews existing literature, reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that RADA-PRG hydrogels enhanced skin-derived precursor cell proliferation and improved hair follicle neogenesis in mice, suggesting potential use as a scaffold material in tissue engineering.

This study found that a topical emulsion containing purified extracts of sidr leaves and roasted candlenut seeds significantly increased hair growth compared to the base and 2% minoxidil, potentially through their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

This study from ISTAP emphasizes the importance of preventing skin tears, particularly in vulnerable populations like older adults and neonates, and recommends strategies such as using silicone-based adhesives, emollient therapy, and maintaining a safe environment to reduce the risk of these injuries.

In a phase 2 trial, researchers tested a topical formulation for alopecia areata and found significant hair regrowth with the treatment, but these improvements did not lead to substantial enhancements in health-related quality of life.

This narrative review highlights the critical role of pharmacists in optimizing topical corticosteroid therapy through proper agent selection, dosing, and patient education to manage various steroid-responsive skin conditions effectively.
