research Reflectance confocal microscopy can differentiate dermoscopic white dots of the scalp between sweat gland ducts or follicular infundibulum
Reflectance confocal microscopy can tell apart white dots on the scalp as either sweat gland ducts or hair follicle openings.
research Topical use of systemic drugs in dermatology: A comprehensive review
Using systemic drugs as creams for skin conditions shows promise, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
research A pilot study on the sexual side effects of finasteride as related to hand preference for men undergoing treatment of male pattern baldness

research High circulating oestrone and low testosterone correlate with adverse clinical outcomes in men with advanced liver disease
Men with advanced liver disease and high oestrone and low testosterone levels have worse health outcomes.
research Radiation-induced alopecia
A man experienced hair loss from radiotherapy, which can be temporary or permanent depending on radiation dose, with potential treatments available.
research Hirsutism, postpartum telogen effluvium, and male pattern alopecia
Hormonal changes during and after pregnancy can cause hair growth changes and hair loss, with treatments available for some conditions.
research Spironolactone in the Treatment of Hirsutism
Spironolactone can reduce hair growth and testosterone in hirsutism, but is less effective than combined treatments.
research Cutaneous reactions to targeted therapies in children with CNS tumors: A cross‐sectional study
Most children with CNS tumors on targeted therapy had skin reactions, which were generally treatable without stopping the therapy.
research The antimycotic agent clotrimazole inhibits melanogenesis by accelerating ERK and PI3K-/Akt-mediated tyrosinase degradation
Clotrimazole, an antifungal cream, may safely reduce skin pigmentation by breaking down the enzyme needed for making melanin.
research Oral administration of low-dose bisphenol A promotes proliferation of ventral prostate and upregulates prostaglandin D2 synthase expression in adult rats
Low doses of BPA can increase prostate growth and change hormone levels in adult rats.
research Potential synergistic effects of human placental extract and minoxidil on hair growth-promoting activity in C57BL/6J mice.
Human placental extract and minoxidil together significantly promote hair growth.
research Hair regrowth in male and female pattern hair loss does not involve the conversion of vellus hair to terminal hair
Hair regrowth doesn't convert thin hairs to thick hairs, but increases overall hair density.
research Regional difference in sebum production by androgen susceptibility in human facial skin
The T-zone on the face has more androgen receptors and produces more oil than the U-zone.
research Label-free concurrent 5-modal microscopy (Co5M) resolves unknown spatio-temporal processes in wound healing
Co5M offers a new way to observe and understand wound healing without labels.
