Trichoscopy is a helpful and quick method to diagnose hair loss without shaving.

This study found that both topical calcipotriol and narrow band ultraviolet B phototherapy improved hair regrowth and vitamin D3 levels in alopecia areata patients.

This study noted that combining oral acitretin with narrowband ultraviolet B therapy may reduce treatment time and dosages for psoriasis, potentially lowering the long-term skin cancer risk.

This study observed that phototherapy is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for childhood dermatoses, particularly for psoriasis and pityriasis lichenoides chronica.

Stopping certain drugs can improve skin conditions, arsenicosis affects over half of a Bangladeshi village, males are more vulnerable, and certain treatments are effective for warts, acne, and psoriasis. Smoking and drinking are linked to psoriasis in men, a cream helps with a type of skin cancer, and low iron levels don't directly cause chronic hair loss in women.

This study found that combining topical minoxidil with phototherapy significantly improved pigmentation and reduced vitiligo severity compared to placebo, as measured by VASI scores over 12 weeks, though the sample size was small and follow-up short.

This systematic review found that light and laser therapies, including excimer and erbium-glass lasers, generally increase hair density and diameter in various types of alopecia, with particularly notable effects in androgenic alopecia but limited efficacy in telogen effluvium.

In this study, NB-UVB therapy significantly increased Wnt1 and β-catenin expression in hair follicles, which may play a role in vitiligo perifollicular repigmentation.

This review discusses the use of acitretin, a retinoid approved since 1997, for various forms of psoriasis and its potential benefits in combination therapy, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses physiological skin changes and specific dermatoses in pregnancy but reports no new clinical results, emphasizing careful diagnosis and management due to potential fetal risks in rare cases.

This study concluded that while home-based intense pulsed light, laser diodes, radiofrequency, and light-emitting diode devices are recommended for certain skin conditions, ultraviolet B phototherapy for psoriasis showed mixed evidence compared to clinic treatments.

This study reviews the use of lasers and light therapies as treatment options for managing the two most common types of alopecia—androegenetic alopecia and alopecia areata—highlighting that existing FDA-approved drugs like minoxidil and finasteride are partially effective, necessitating additional therapeutic approaches.

This chapter discusses pediatric disorders like alopecia areata and vitiligo, identifying laser and light therapies as treatment options, and highlights that the pulsed dye laser is well tolerated and effective for treating molluscum contagiosum.

Mycophenolate mofetil improved skin condition in a man with nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy.

This review discusses melanocytes' role in pigmentation, their clinical significance in conditions like vitiligo and hair graying, and highlights current research on hair follicle regeneration without reporting new clinical results.

Excimer laser therapy can be an alternative for treating superficial morphea when topical steroids don't work.

Treating generalized granuloma annulare is difficult, with PUVA being the most effective option, but relapses are common.

This review discusses the potential autoimmune etiology of vitiligo and its association with other autoimmune diseases but provides no new research findings; the authors highlight various treatment options.

The authors reviewed nine studies on various dermatological procedures for treating Seborrheic Dermatitis, noting significant efficacy in small cohorts with high patient satisfaction, but highlighted the need for further research to address challenges like cost, variable effectiveness, and long-term safety.

This review found that various dermatological procedures for Seborrheic Dermatitis, such as phototherapy and laser treatments, showed significant efficacy in small cohorts with high patient satisfaction, but highlighted the need for further research to standardize protocols and evaluate long-term outcomes.

Cellulite may be linked to low adiponectin, isotretinoin with UVB can treat psoriasis effectively, permanent alopecia post-chemotherapy resembles a unique hair loss, deodorants may cause fragrance allergies, desmoplastic melanoma is becoming more common, and intensive UVB treatment can give long-term psoriasis remission.

This paper reports a single case of lichenoid cutaneous sarcoidosis that was unresponsive to standard treatments but showed marked improvement with the administration of oral tranilast.

This article discusses the potential use of platelet-rich plasma as a treatment for vitiligo, but reports no new clinical results; further investigation is needed.

This study found that the expression of CK 15 and CK 19 in vitiligo patients undergoing phototherapy was correlated with improved repigmentation, suggesting their potential as markers for stem cell stimulation.

Treating psoriasis with UVB light three times a week is faster than twice a week, and certain medications and lifestyle factors affect psoriasis treatment outcomes.

Skin problems are common in Bangladesh due to arsenic, prompt treatment of diabetic foot ulcers is crucial, maternal transmission causes most neonatal herpes, treatments for pediatric vasculitis are effective, the chickenpox vaccine works, more frequent UVB therapy helps psoriasis, certain jobs increase hand dermatitis risk, monoclonal antibodies treat psoriasis well, lifestyle affects psoriasis, alefacept improves psoriasis, imiquimod cream partially clears basal cell carcinoma, and iron may not help chronic hair loss.

This study found that low-dose UVB radiation enhances the survival, migration, and hair growth-promoting capacity of adipose-derived stem cells in mice through the generation of reactive oxygen species.
