Hair samples were analyzed using the CIELAB color space system, calculating the ΔE value to represent the color difference. To assess the UV protection properties of various hair care formulations (oils, essences, and balms), we compared their HSPF with the standard curve. Meanwhile, in vivo tests followed the ISO 24444 guidelines, involving ten participants to validate the correlation between the in vitro and in vivo methods.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Higher SPF products resulted in smaller ΔE values, indicating less color fading and greater protection.

Obesity is a well-established factor for skin disease, yet few studies have focused on its association with plantar warts. This study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics of plantar warts and their relationship with body mass index (BMI).</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This retrospective case series included patients with plantar warts treated at the dermatology department of the Third People's Hospital of Hangzhou between May 2023 and March 2025. An electronic medical record system was used to collect participants' demographic and clinical data. Dermoscopy was used to evaluate wart dermatological features, focusing on two key aspects: vascularity and surface patterns. Patients were categorized into two groups based on BMI: BMI ≥ 24.0 kg/m<sup>2</sup> and BMI < 24.0 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, to compare their dermatological characteristics.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 262 patients with plantar warts were included in the study (average age: 37 ± 12.75 years), with more females (55.73%) than males (44.27%). Most plantar warts were single lesions (66%) and appeared predominantly on the soles (49%) and toes (29%). Dermoscopically, the majority exhibited dotted blood vessels (79%) and a yellow or brown color, both for the background (74%) and surface pattern (68%). Among the 262 patients, 90 were in the BMI ≥ 24.0 kg/m<sup>2</sup> group (34.25%), and 172 were in the BMI < 24.0 kg/m<sup>2</sup> group (65.65%).
