Although initially reversible during its early inflammatory stage, delayed recognition may result in permanent scarring alopecia. Hair plays a distinctive and important role in personal identity, closely tied to self-esteem, confidence, and social identity highlighting the need for patient-centered management. While previous reviews have focused primarily on the dermatologic features of TA, this review applies an osteopathic whole-person framework that recognizes the interconnected biologic, behavioral, cultural, occupational, psychosocial, and environmental factors contributing to disease development, progression, treatment adherence, and prevention. We synthesize current evidence regarding epidemiology, risk factors, clinical presentation, trichoscopic and histopathologic findings, diagnosis, and conventional management. Options to mitigate the progression of or treat TA include behavioral modifications, pharmacological interventions, and osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) alongside other adjunctive modalities, such as mesotherapy, nutraceuticals, and alternative medicine. Effective management extends beyond restoring hair growth and instead requires a holistic integrated approach that combines evidence-based dermatologic care with culturally responsive education, behavioral modifications, psychosocial support, and appropriate adjunctive therapies. Future research should further evaluate osteopathic interventions and other complementary treatment strategies to expand the evidence-base supporting comprehensive TA management.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8203,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Dermatological Research","volume":"318 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149132127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although sebaceous hyperplasia and the yellowish hue as characteristic of STs have been well-documented in literature, detailed dermoscopic and reflectance confocal microscopic features of sebaceoma, sebaceous adenoma, and sebaceous carcinoma have not been comprehensively investigated to date. We conducted a systematic literature review of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and CENTRAL databases from inception through April 2025, following PRISMA guidelines. The protocol was prospectively registered in PROSPERO (CRD420251040944). In total, seventy-one histologically confirmed STs in 55 patients (40% female, median age 66) were analyzed, including 11 sebaceomas (16%), 23 sebaceous adenomas (32%), and 37 sebaceous carcinomas (52%). On dermoscopy, a pink homogeneous background with monomorphic elongated-crown or arborizing vessels was observed in 80–96% of benign STs. Sebaceous carcinoma exhibited distinct features, such as larger size (mean 16 × 12 mm), ulceration, and polymorphic vascular patterns, particularly linear irregular and arborizing vessels, suggesting neoangiogenesis and greater biological aggressiveness. Reflectance confocal microscopy revealed sebocytes’ morphology, defined by cuboidal cells with dark nuclei and hyper-refractive cytoplasm. Nevertheless, its diagnostic accuracy is limited by low cell density, inflammation, and keratin buildup. Overall, yellow coloration, while suggestive of sebaceous differentiation, shows limited diagnostic specificity. Integrating clinical and dermoscopic findings can improve the detection of STs, particularly sebaceous carcinoma. Standardized criteria and further validation across diverse skin types are warranted.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8203,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Dermatological Research","volume":"318 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00403-026-04953-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149133269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While retrospective studies have shown that support groups (SGs) improve QoL, structured patient support interventions and prospective data remain limited. We conducted a prospective cohort study to evaluate whether participation in a six-session virtual education and peer support program improved disease-specific quality of life (QoL) among adults with biopsy-confirmed AIBD. Disease-specific QoL was measured using the Autoimmune Bullous Disease Quality of Life (ABQoL) questionnaire pre- and post-intervention. Controls included patients who declined or did not attend sessions. Fifty-nine participants completed the ABQoL questionnaire at baseline and after six months; 31 attended at least one session and 28 served as controls. Baseline ABQoL scores were similar between groups. Post-intervention, total ABQoL scores improved among participants and worsened among controls, with a significant group-by-time interaction (<i>p</i> = 0.001). Improvements were observed across symptom, mucosal, and psychosocial domains and correlated with greater session attendance. Most participants in the intervention group (73.3%) demonstrated improved ABQoL scores. These findings suggest that structured virtual education combined with peer support may meaningfully enhance quality of life and provide a scalable adjunct to routine dermatologic care for patients living with AIBD.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8203,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Dermatological Research","volume":"318 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149133256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
