    TLDR The document focused on hair disorders, especially alopecia, and discussed treatments and impacts on quality of life.
    The document "Contents Vol. 4, 2018" from the European Nail Society and affiliated organizations covered various topics related to skin appendage disorders, with a significant focus on hair disorders and alopecia. Key highlights included reviews on the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma for androgenetic alopecia, the impact of folliculitis decalvans on quality of life, and the role of IGF-1 in hair growth and alopecia. Original research articles discussed distinct trichoscopic features in frontal fibrosing alopecia, hormonal risk factors, and the development of a severity index for frontal fibrosing alopecia. Additionally, novel insights from clinical practice and case reports provided further understanding of conditions like cicatricial alopecia, alopecia areata, and the effects of various treatments on hair and nail disorders.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
