A Bibliometric Analysis of Alopecia Areata Literature Over the Past 50 Years

This study analyzed dermoscopic findings in alopecia areata among children and adults, discovering that exclamation mark hairs are more common in children, while yellow dots appear more often in adults, indicating the importance of age-specific evaluation in diagnosing this condition.

This study examined 50 patients with alopecia areata and found that trichoscopy can identify specific patterns, such as white dots in 90% of cases and black dots in 80%, aiding in assessing disease activity and severity without invasive procedures.

This study reviewed the usefulness of trichoscopy in diagnosing and monitoring alopecia areata, noting that the technique identifies specific hair features like yellow and black dots, which are linked to the disease's chronic nature and treatment response.

This study found that, among 100 patients with alopecia areata, the most prevalent subtype was patchy alopecia areata, with characteristic trichoscopic features including black dots, yellow dots, and empty hair follicles.

In this study, trichoscopic examination found distinct hair characteristics for diagnosing eyebrow loss: alopecia areata is marked by features like exclamation mark hairs, while frontal fibrosing alopecia shows dystrophic hairs and distinctive regrowth patterns.

This study found that trichoscopy is effective for diagnosing androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, and it can also be used to assess the severity of androgenetic alopecia.
