In the authors' experience, focal hyperkeratosis of the proximal nail fold (PNF) in type B DMC is frequently observed. We analyzed clinical images in the literature to assess how often this feature was present, if noted in the figure caption, and aimed for clinical description of this finding.Methods: We performed a search of DMC images from PubMed literature and nail atlases. Consensus for DMC type, presence of PNF hyperkeratosis, hyperkeratosis described in the figure caption, and etiology of hyperkeratosis was performed.Results: Of available images, 33.9% were determined to be type B DMC; of these, 53.8% had presence of PNF hyperkeratosis. There was consensus that a majority (61.9%) of the hyperkeratotic findings were due to cuticle thickening, and only one figure caption mentioned PNF hyperkeratosis.Conclusion: Type B DMCs often feature focal hyperkeratosis at the PNF. A review of type B DMC images revealed that this hyperkeratosis was mostly due to cuticle thickening, suggesting a reaction of the eponychium in response to the mass effect within the PNF. Bringing this characteristic to the attention of practicing physicians may aid in clinical diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":21844,"journal":{"name":"Skin Appendage Disorders","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13349386/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148424224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While neuropsychiatric comorbidities are common in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), prevalence and quality-of-life (QoL) impact of BFRBs in these individuals are underexplored. We aimed to characterize BFRB prevalence and assess association with dermatology-related QoL in a national NF1 cohort.Methods: A voluntary online survey was distributed to NF1 registry members. Participants reported BFRBs and dermatology-related QoL using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Multivariable logistic regression assessed predictors of moderate-severe QoL impairment.Results: Among 143 respondents, 73.4% reported ≥1 BFRB. Skin picking was most common (55.3%), followed by onychophagia (39.8%), onychotillomania (35.2%), and trichotillomania (17.9%). Respondents with any BFRB had significantly worse QoL vs. those without (mean DLQI score 7.28 vs. 4.03; p < 0.001). Any BFRB increased odds of moderate-severe impairment (OR 4.88; p = 0.007) with higher odds per additional BFRB (OR 1.93; p < 0.001).Conclusion: We found that BFRBs are highly prevalent and independently associated with poorer QoL in NF1 patients.

With technology evolving at a rapid pace, emerging bioengineering strategies are being developed, one of which is three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting of hair follicles. This review focuses on the materials, process, applications, and limitations of 3D printing in trichology, which aims to mimic real hair follicles to produce them de novo.Summary: This review identifies the synthetic and natural polymers currently used to make bioinks for 3D bioprinting and describes the process where cell populations - primarily dermal papilla cells - are layered to form a dermis and epidermis. The text then explores how this technology can be applied in androgenetic alopecia and full-thickness wound healing, as well as providing a template for surgical practice and an alternative to animal testing. Finally, it addresses the current limitations of this technology, such as its high maintenance cost, finding a balance between viability and printability, and the present inability to apply it to humans.Key messages: 3D bioprinting is an encouraging preclinical approach to overcoming treatment limitations for such a prevalent condition as alopecia. Its versatility would not only help in the treatment of alopecia but also in creating personalized prosthetics, guiding surgical techniques, and improving scientific research. However, while promising in a laboratory setting, further optimization of the bioink as well as cost of maintenance are required before it can be applied to clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":21844,"journal":{"name":"Skin Appendage Disorders","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13372314/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148456912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite this, clinical management of HS has historically remained siloed within dermatology, with insufficient integration of cardiometabolic risk management.Summary: GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) - a drug class now established for T2DM, obesity, and cardiovascular risk reduction - have recently emerged as candidate agents for HS. A systematic review published in 2024 and two pivotal real-world studies published in 2025 provide preliminary evidence that GLP-1 RAs improve HS disease activity through both weight loss and direct anti-inflammatory mechanisms. We argue that this evidence base is already sufficient to justify a paradigm shift: GLP-1 RAs should be considered as adjunctive components of a multidisciplinary treatment strategy for HS patients with concurrent cardiometabolic disease. We propose a practical clinical framework for patient selection and monitoring and call for dedicated randomised controlled trials.Key messages: Metabolic comorbidities are mechanistically linked to HS pathogenesis and are inadequately addressed in current clinical practice. GLP-1 RAs offer dual benefit in HS - improving both metabolic outcomes and HS disease activity. Dermatologists should screen every HS patient for cardiometabolic comorbidities and advocate for GLP-1 RA therapy in eligible patients as part of a multidisciplinary approach.","PeriodicalId":21844,"journal":{"name":"Skin Appendage Disorders","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13368244/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148449519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Energy-based devices (EBDs), including low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and fractional lasers, have emerged as minimally invasive alternatives or adjuncts to traditional treatments. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lasers and EBDs in the management of AGA.Methods: This is a systematic review and a meta-analysis that was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines.Results: A total of 3,298 patients were included across the 37 studies. Pooled analysis of LLLT demonstrated a mean increase in hair density of 18.56 hairs/cm2 and shaft thickness of 10.62 µm compared with sham. When combined with minoxidil, LLLT yielded a greater improvement in hair density than minoxidil alone (mean difference +11.75 hairs/cm2). Fractional laser monotherapy, including ablative fractional CO2 laser and non-ablative fractional laser, increased density by 102.23 hairs/cm2 and thickness by 5.93 µm. However, combination protocols of ablative fractional CO2 laser and non-ablative fractional thulium fiber and Er:glass laser with minoxidil, PRP, or growth factors produced a mean density increase of 33.6 hairs/cm2 and a greater improvement in hair shaft thickness (+11.22 µm), along with a higher clinician-rated improvement rate (95.3% vs. 77.2% for monotherapy). Adverse events were mild and transient.Conclusion: LLLT and fractional lasers are effective and safe for the treatment of AGA.

A literature review was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, and SciELO, employing English and Spanish terms: \"dissecting cellulitis,\" \"children,\" \"pediatrics,\" and \"perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens,\" covering publications from 1999 to 2025. Dissecting cellulitis is an uncommon disease in pediatric patients. Its pathogenesis is multifactorial, and it is clinically characterized by papules and pustules that evolve into nodules, abscesses, and fistulous tracts, leading to disfiguring scars and alopecia. Diagnosis is primarily clinical, supported by trichoscopy and histopathological examination. Differential diagnosis with other conditions is crucial to prevent its irreversible course. Although no standardized treatment protocol exists, multiple therapeutic options have been successfully employed in pediatric cases.Key messages: Recognizing that dissecting cellulitis can occur in pediatric patients is essential to achieve early diagnosis and treatment, thereby preventing irreversible sequelae with significant psychosocial impact.","PeriodicalId":21844,"journal":{"name":"Skin Appendage Disorders","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13300027/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148346102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
