This review discusses the complex nature of erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp, highlighting the challenges in diagnosis and management, and reports no new clinical findings.

Systemic mastocytosis may cause a type of hair loss called cicatricial alopecia.

This report of four pediatric alopecia cases highlights the varied patterns and treatments, noting that differentiating alopecia from trichotillomania is crucial due to their different management approaches.

This case report describes a 22-year-old Asian man with erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp, whose lesions improved after treatment with topical tacrolimus and oral isotretinoin.

In a randomized phase 2b clinical trial, oral ritlecitinib significantly reduced facial vitiligo area scores in patients with active nonsegmental vitiligo compared to placebo, with a favorable safety profile observed over 48 weeks, suggesting its potential as an effective treatment option (Ezzedine et al., 2023).

This review discusses the potential benefits of nonantibiotic macrolides for treating inflammatory skin disorders and reports no new clinical results.

This study describes three female islet transplant recipients who unexpectedly developed alopecia areata about 7 years post-transplant, with a possible link to immunosuppressive treatment regimens.

This review systematically analyzed evidence on treatment options for erosive pustular dermatosis, finding that while potent topical steroids like clobetasol propionate can be effective, recurrence is common, and more robust studies are necessary for stronger recommendations.

In this case study, an 80-year-old woman developed lichen planus pigmentosus inversus after receiving multiple intra-articular injections of a homeopathic preparation, suggesting a possible link, though causality remains speculative.

This case report detailed a 31-year-old kidney transplant recipient who experienced significant hair loss linked to tacrolimus-based immunosuppression, which improved after switching to cyclosporine A, emphasizing the importance of awareness and management of hair-related side effects in transplant patients.

In this study, chitosan nanoparticles loaded with phenobarbital were the most effective in promoting hair regrowth and quality in a mouse model of chemotherapy-induced alopecia, suggesting potential for preventing hair loss in cancer patients.

This study observed that omalizumab may induce alopecia, particularly in females aged 18-60, though establishing a direct cause-effect link remains challenging. Alopecia areata was noted as a possible uncommon, yet transient, hair loss type associated with omalizumab.

This study demonstrated that combining amorphization and nanonization of drugs enhances both saturation solubility and dissolution rate, potentially offering therapeutic benefits for formulations like dermal applications.
