This systematic review concluded that the support for using spironolactone at commonly prescribed doses is based on evidence of limited quality.

This study found that all four treatments—flutamide, finasteride, ketoconazole, and EE-CPA—significantly reduced hirsutism, but EE-CPA and flutamide appeared most effective, with varying effects on androgen levels and side-effect profiles.

This study suggests that melatonin plays a role in hair follicle function by modulating growth and pigmentation, and it may act as a protective agent in active hair growth phases.

This article provides guidelines for molecular genetic testing of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, focusing on quality requirements, methodologies, and variant classification; it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, but reports no new research results.

This paper discusses X-linked ichthyosis and its genetic causes, focusing on biochemical pathways and their role in epidermal differentiation and barrier function, but it presents no new clinical findings.

Alpha-hydroxy acids, like glycolic acid, safely improve skin issues and work on all skin types.

This review highlights various methods of stem cell communication that reflect the unique organization and function of different tissues and reports no new results.

This review outlines a diagnostic framework for clinicians to distinguish different types of inherited ichthyoses and suggests further testing and treatment strategies, but reports no new clinical results.

Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.

This introduction highlights the impact of acne vulgaris on quality of life and the complexity of selecting effective treatments, but it presents no new clinical results.

This study found that premature hair loss due to stress does not occur in NK-1 receptor knockout or mast cell deficient mice, suggesting a key role for neurokinin substance P and mast cell interaction in stress-related hair follicle changes.

This study found that finasteride effectively reduced hirsutism in women during 12 months of treatment, with some effects persisting in the majority after stopping the medication.

This case report describes a 10-month-old boy with dermatitis, alopecia, and hypotonia who showed dramatic improvement with oral biotin, suggesting a possible defect in biotin absorption or transport.

This study found that 1-year use of 5alpha-reductase inhibitors, dutasteride or finasteride, significantly lowered dihydrotestosterone levels without adversely affecting bone density, lipids, or hemoglobin in normal men.

In this study, transgender adolescents treated with testosterone for a median of 12 months experienced effective virilization, including voice deepening and increased hair growth, but also showed decreased HDL cholesterol and BMD z-scores, and increased hematocrit, with no short-term safety issues reported.

This study found that in young Taiwanese women with PCOS, low sex hormone-binding globulin levels were associated with low HDL cholesterol levels, independent of insulin resistance and obesity.

Acne is caused by genetics, diet, hormones, and bacteria, with treatments not yet curative.

This review discusses how macro-environmental factors such as intradermal adipose tissue and sex hormones influence hair and feather stem cell niches, suggesting environmental targets for regenerative medicine, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses hidradenitis suppurativa's pathogenesis, including its inflammatory nature and the role of smoking as a triggering factor, but reports no new clinical results.

This study in mice demonstrated that stress or nerve growth factor injection increases sensory neuron activity related to skin innervation, suggesting a strong connection between stress perception and neurogenic skin inflammation.

This paper discusses the hypothesis that anti-acne agents may work by reducing FGFR2 signaling, and emphasizes FGFR2's potential role in acne pathogenesis, but it reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that while a transscrotal testosterone patch increases serum testosterone levels in hypogonadal men with AIDS and weight loss, it does not improve weight, body cell mass, or quality of life.

This article discusses the need for organizational scholars to shift focus from big business organizations to everyday events and places, but it reports no new empirical results.

This review discusses potential mechanisms contributing to higher COVID-19 mortality among men, particularly the roles of smoking, genetic factors, and reproductive hormones, without presenting new clinical findings.

This article reviews the use of medical tattooing for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes across various fields, but reports no new clinical results.

Skin stem cells maintain and repair the outer layer of skin, with some types being essential for healing wounds.

This review discusses clinical features, differential diagnosis, and treatments for female pattern hair loss, emphasizing the use of 2% topical Minoxidil and exploring alternative off-label therapies.

This study found that a 6-month treatment with either metformin or rosiglitazone significantly improved endothelial function in young women with PCOS without any one drug being superior.

This review discusses clinical, hormonal, and genetic aspects of nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia and reports no new findings; the condition is highlighted as a potential cause of premature adrenarche and other symptoms in young people.
