This case study describes a 4-year-old girl's diagnosis of erythrokeratodermia variabilis despite various ineffective treatments, highlighting a rare skin condition with persistent symptoms.

In this review, the authors concluded that trichoscopy is a quick, non-invasive, and effective method for diagnosing and monitoring non-scarring alopecia, offering a more precise and faster alternative compared to other diagnostic methods for identifying and managing different types of hair loss.

This review discusses recent advances in noninvasive hair imaging technologies, such as global photography, trichoscopy, reflectance confocal microscopy, and optical coherence tomography, highlighting their potential to improve hair diagnostics and treatment monitoring, while also outlining their clinical applications and limitations.

This review discusses the role of extracellular vesicles in dermatology for therapeutic, diagnostic, and prognostic purposes, highlighting the lack of validated findings and the necessity for more rigorous clinical trials.

In this study, an infection model using rabbits was developed for dermatophytosis by inoculating macroconidia of Microsporum species, showing that direct intradermal application effectively progressed to the skin invasion phase and highlighted the correlation between severity of symptoms and duration post-inoculation.

This study used ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography to observe hair shaft structures, finding melanin granules absent only in white hair, which may explain color differences between black and white hair.

This letter highlights that the effectiveness of skin self-photography for melanoma detection has not been evaluated, although it could be a cost-effective option for patients without access to professional skin photography.

In this study, researchers identified yellow dots as the most common dermoscopic feature of alopecia areata, followed by black dots, broken hairs, short vellus hair, and tapering hairs.

In this study, researchers re-evaluated biopsies from elderly patients with erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp and identified plasma cell and lymphocyte infiltrates as key histological indicators for diagnosis, observing that high-potency topical steroids effectively healed the lesions.

Dermatologists help detect gender-based violence by identifying skin signs of abuse.

This article lists essential items for a junior resident's bag in dermatology, detailing their uses to enhance clinical examination skills and preparedness during residency and exams.

This study reports that the ScalpEye system accurately diagnosed dandruff, folliculitis, hair loss, and oily hair with a precision range of 97.41% to 99.09%.

This study reported that X-ray microscopy provides more intact images of hair's internal structure compared to transmission electron microscopy, particularly for observing fine details like cuticle coarsening and cortex cracks.

This study highlights that Demodex mites, commonly found on human skin, can cause significant eye and skin issues such as blepharitis, rosacea, and dermatitis when present in abnormally high densities, underscoring the need for targeted management strategies.

This study found that patients with seborrheic dermatitis were more likely to have severe vitamin D deficiency compared to healthy controls.

This study presents a two-photon imaging method to visualize low-threshold mechanoreceptor axon terminals in live mouse forepaw skin, enabling repeated high-resolution imaging to study sensory circuits during development and adulthood.

This study explored dermatoscopic and histopathologic findings of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia beyond the vertex scalp, suggesting that dermatoscopy might serve as a less invasive diagnostic tool for subclinical disease.

In this study, researchers investigated the prevalence and types of skin diseases among elders at a medical facility in India, finding that generalised pruritus, seborrheic keratosis, and fungal infections were common, while education on proper skin care may help reduce these conditions.

This study found that variations in mouse skin thickness, influenced by gender and hair growth cycles, significantly affect optical scattering measurements, which are important for developing biomedical optics techniques.

In this study, certain trichoscopic features were found to be sensitive and specific for diagnosing primary cicatricial alopecias and its subtypes using dermatoscopy.

This observational study found that trichoscopy is a reliable tool for diagnosing various hair and scalp disorders, with common findings observed for different types of alopecia.

This study concludes that elastic tissue staining is the most reliable method for identifying scarring patterns in alopecia biopsy specimens, and polarized microscopy may provide specific insights for nonscarring alopecia.

This study observed that orange spots and dystrophic hairs on trichoscopy may aid in diagnosing scalp sarcoidosis.

This article discusses the principles and considerations of clinical photography for hair disorders in dermatology, reporting no new clinical findings.

This article discusses current visualization methods for assessing hair restoration therapy responses, noting imprecision in triangulated measurements and patient dissatisfaction with visible tattoos.

In this study, the researchers found that combining physical dermabrasion with chemical peeling increased growth factors and neuropeptides more than chemical peeling alone in porcine skin samples.

The researchers reported that identifying specific hair shaft abnormalities is crucial for distinguishing patchy/plaque mycosis fungoides from psoriasis and eczematous dermatitis on non-scalp skin using dermoscopy.

This study found that direct immunofluorescence of hair is a simple and non-invasive alternative for monitoring pemphigus vulgaris, matching skin biopsy results in the cases observed.
