    Studysummary In this study on Iranian patients with non-scarring alopecia, researchers found that androgenetic alopecia was the most common subtype, with perifollicular inflammation observed more in males. They reported that transverse sectioning is generally sufficient for diagnosis, but combining with vertical sectioning provides more comprehensive information.
