    TLDR The research found no clear link between the severity of male baldness and the scalp examination findings in Indonesian men.
    The study involved 40 Indonesian males aged 25–58 years old with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and aimed to identify trichoscopy findings of AGA and find an association with disease severity based on Hamilton–Norwood’s criteria. The most common trichoscopy findings were hair diameter diversity and vellus hair, followed by empty follicles, white dots, single-hair follicles, and peripilar signs. However, no significant association between alopecia severity and trichoscopy parameters was found. The study concluded that more research with a larger number of participants, including a control group, is needed for more significant results.
