Topical corticosteroids can help treat severe alopecia areata when other treatments fail.

In this study, applying 0.5% vitamin E lotions on rabbits accelerated hair growth and increased it up to 2.4 times compared to controls within four weeks.

This study reports that fluconazole emulgel formulations, using jojoba oil and liquid paraffin, showed effective drug release and improved characteristics for treating skin diseases compared to traditional oral formulations.

This literature review highlights the effectiveness of topical vitamin D (e.g., calcipotriol, calcitriol) in treating vitiligo, emphasizing its role in melanogenesis and as an immunomodulator, either alone or combined with topical corticosteroids, offering minimal side effects.

This letter to the editor discusses the use of topical cetirizine 1% for treating androgenetic alopecia but reports no new clinical outcomes.

This study found that minoxidil was released 50% less from creams than from lotions, with a similar release profile across different lotion formulations, suggesting a specific vehicle composition for topical use.

This study proposed a hypothesis for cutaneous calcinosis, suggesting that feeding DHT and subsequent epilation lead to ATP release and calcium orthophosphate formation, initiating calcification in rats.

This study developed a stable, cosmetically appealing formulation for the topical delivery of the peptide FOL-005, enhancing skin permeation and maintaining stability by keeping the peptide solid and in a water-free environment with particle sizes under 10 µm.

In this observational study conducted in Bengaluru, India, among 272 dermatology patients, the authors reported that dermatitis was the most common condition treated with corticosteroids, with a preference for topical applications; desonide was the most frequently prescribed drug.

In this randomized study, 72% of patients treated with 0.05% betamethasone dipropionate showed significant improvement in limited patchy alopecia areata compared to 36% of those using 0.05% tretinoin, suggesting BMD is more effective but further research on tretinoin is needed.

This study found that a 2% minoxidil cream and a gel-based shampoo with 1% minoxidil plus plant extracts showed significant hair growth and follicle-protective effects in laboratory rats with experimental alopecia.

This report describes nine women who were allergic to topical minoxidil but successfully tolerated low-dose oral minoxidil without significant adverse effects, suggesting it may be a viable alternative for those with similar allergies.

This study observed that the reproductive phenology of Ficus species in Northern Thailand varied seasonally, with female trees producing the most figs during the rainy season, while male trees' fig production peaked earlier.

This study developed a peptide-based topical delivery system that enhanced hair growth with reduced systemic exposure to finasteride, showing efficacy comparable to 5% minoxidil in vivo while using significantly less finasteride than oral doses.

This study observed that a 2% topical minoxidil solution was beneficial in 63% of male patients with androgenic alopecia, although only 6.6% experienced dramatic cosmetic improvement.

This study found that garlic gel can significantly stimulate hair growth in patients with alopecia areata after three months of treatment.

This study developed a novel LC-ESI-MS/MS method to quantify Minoxidil in pharmaceutical forms, finding it precise, accurate, and robust. It withstands excipient and degradant interference, although Minoxidil degrades under some stress conditions but remains stable thermally.

In this study, the researchers developed and evaluated a Minoxidil emulgel formulation, finding that it had a higher drug release rate compared to Minoxidil gels.

This case study describes a child with an unusual form of vitamin D-dependent rickets, characterized by alopecia and a deficient response to active vitamin D.

This review examined clinical studies on topical melatonin for skin protection and found strong evidence that it effectively prevents skin damage from radiation, but noted limited clear evidence for its anti-aging and hair growth benefits due to study design limitations and combined treatments.

This case report from Darmasaba Village, Bali, identified Colisepticemia in a 27-day-old chicken, based on clinical signs, pathology, and laboratory tests, and highlighted the need for improved farm hygiene and sanitation to prevent disease spread.

This study found that proretinal nanoparticles, applied topically, are safe and effective for penetration into hair follicles, enhancing retinoid biological activity in the skin while reducing irritation compared to conventional retinal formulations.

This study found that iontophoresis significantly increased folicular delivery of minoxidil sulfate and sustained release when combined with chitosan microparticles, suggesting potential to reduce application frequency for treating androgenic alopecia.

In this study, genetic testing confirmed the diagnosis of Androgen insensitivity syndrome in most CAIS patients in Tunisia and identified two previously unreported mutations in the androgen receptor gene.

This book reviews the various types of acne and acneiform conditions, as well as their treatment options, with expert insights from multiple fields.

This review discusses the most common types of alopecia in adolescents and emphasizes the importance of psychosocial support, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review reports that psoriatic alopecia, a type of hair loss linked to psoriasis, is difficult to diagnose and often resistant to conventional treatments, highlighting the need for further research into its immune-related mechanisms and personalized treatment approaches for better management.

This review discusses prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for traction alopecia but presents no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize early intervention to prevent permanent hair loss.

This article discusses the social and psychological impact of hair disorders and the challenges in their treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

This review covers androgenetic alopecia's epidemiology, pathogenesis, current management options, and research trends, concluding that no definitive cure exists despite extensive interest and ongoing genetic research efforts.
