June 2026 in “Case Reports in Dermatology” This case report discusses a 67-year-old woman with Netherton syndrome, a genetic disorder causing skin inflammation and hair defects like Trichorrhexis invaginata. The patient was treated with dupilumab, which is typically used for skin inflammation. After 3 months, there was significant improvement in skin symptoms and hair condition, with brittle "bamboo" hairs being replaced by normal hair shafts. This suggests that dupilumab may not only help with skin issues but also promote hair growth in Netherton syndrome, highlighting a novel therapeutic approach for addressing hair shaft abnormalities linked to inflammatory responses.
