research Early leonine facies with alopecia in a young man
A young man was diagnosed with trichoepitheliomas, causing thick skin and hair loss.
research Sebaceous-hairy apparatus damage in androgenetic alopecia: a clinical study of the efficiency of some physical treatments.
research Bilateral Nevus Comedonicus of the Eyelids
A 79-year-old man was diagnosed with a rare skin condition called nevus comedonicus on his eyelids.
research Referee report. For: Pathogenesis of Androgenetic alopecia [v1; indexed, http://f1000r.es/5ar]
Androgenetic alopecia may be irreversible due to the detachment of a muscle from hair follicles.
research Aberrant connective tissue sheath contraction drives premature hair follicle regression by inducing progenitor cell depletion in androgenetic alopecia
Abnormal contraction of connective tissue in hair follicles causes hair loss by killing off important cells, and treating this could improve hair growth.
research Alopecia totalis in an infant
An infant with complete hair loss was diagnosed with a genetic disorder affecting hair growth.
research Variable Clinical Features of Temporal Triangular Alopecia
Temporal triangular alopecia may be linked to sebaceous nevus and shows a new pinkish background feature.
research TRICHOSTASIS SPINULOSA
Trichostasis spinulosa mainly affects the nose, with many tiny hairs in one follicle, possibly influenced by hormones and sunlight.
research Smad7-Induced β-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
research Traumatic Anserine Folliculosis: A Case Report With Review of Differential Diagnosis
Traumatic anserine folliculosis is a harmless skin condition in young males that needs correct diagnosis to avoid unnecessary treatments.
research Occult Syringomas of Scalp Associated With Progressive Hair Loss
Hidden sweat gland tumors might cause hair loss.
research Gsdma3 Mutation Causes Bulge Stem Cell Depletion and Alopecia Mediated by Skin Inflammation
A Gsdma3 mutation causes hair loss due to stem cell damage from skin inflammation.
research Long-term renewal of hair follicles from clonogenic multipotent stem cells
Adult stem cells from rat whisker follicles can regenerate hair follicles and sebaceous glands.
research Rapidly growing hand nodule
A 69-year-old woman has a fast-growing hand lesion that didn't improve with salicylic acid.
research New developments in our understanding of acne pathogenesis and treatment
We now understand more about what causes acne and this could lead to better, more personalized treatments.
research Is seborrhea a sign of autonomic impairment in Parkinson's disease?
Seborrhea in Parkinson's disease may be linked to hormones, not autonomic impairment.
research Alopecia Mucinosa
Alopecia mucinosa is a challenging condition with unclear diagnosis and treatment.
research An unusual variant of granulomatous adnexotropic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma

Mutations in the DSG4 gene cause specific hair and scalp issues.
research Correlation between sebum level and severity of male androgenetic alopecia
Higher sebum levels are linked to more severe male baldness.
research P28 Traumatic anserine folliculosis: a cause of facial follicular papules

research Investigation of hair shaft in seborrheic dermatitis using atomic force microscopy
Hair from people with seborrheic dermatitis is thicker scaled, more damaged, and thinner than healthy hair, and atomic force microscopy can help monitor the condition.
research Compound Follicles in Folliculitis Decalvans Do Not Contain Vellus and Retained Telogen Follicles—A Pilot Histopathologic Series on Polytrichia
Compound follicles in folliculitis decalvans mainly have active hair follicles.
