December 2009 in “PubMed” This case study highlights a pediatric instance of eruptive vellus hair cysts partially responding to calcipotriene cream, aiming to remind clinicians about this often overlooked condition.
December 2005 in “Dermatologic surgery” This study found that while Er:YAG laser therapy can initially improve the appearance of eruptive vellus hair cysts, it was ineffective in preventing early recurrences due to limitations in ablation depth.
January 2026 in “Molecules” In this study, the novel thiol-Michael click perming molecule, MA2-CySS, achieved repeatable perming with reduced oxidative damage, preserving hair keratin's structure while maintaining efficiency comparable to traditional oxidative methods.
