This study reviews the diverse clinical presentations of tinea capitis, such as gray patches, a "black dot" appearance, and kerion, highlighting its complex differential diagnosis with conditions like alopecia areata and psoriasis.

This study reports that dermoscopy is a useful diagnostic tool for distinguishing acute diffuse and total alopecia of the female scalp from female pattern hair loss by identifying specific hair features.

Follicular red dots can appear where alopecia areata and vitiligo overlap.

A woman's scalp infection caused by a fungus led to permanent hair loss and was hard to treat but responded to a specific antifungal.

This study found that the yellow dot pattern observed in dermoscopy of alopecia areata corresponds to inefficient follicular structures containing hair remnants, as corroborated by reflectance confocal microscopy and pathological findings.

This study reported that polarized dermoscopy was better for visualizing vascular patterns, scaling, and reticular pigmentation, while nonpolarized mode better documented features like black dots and tapered hair in various hair and scalp conditions.

This study found no significant associations between dermoscopic findings and the severity or stage of alopecia areata in children, though there was a notable correlation with nail findings.

This case report describes a rare instance of tinea capitis caused by Trichophyton tonsurans in a Chinese patient, followed by the development of herpes zoster, suggesting a potential link to immunosuppression.

This article discusses a case of alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia, and trichostasis spinulosa, highlighting how dermoscopy can help differentiate black dots from trichostasis spinulosa lesions, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found trichoscopy to be a highly sensitive, non-invasive method for diagnosing tinea capitis in children, which could be valuable in resource-limited settings lacking mycological culture facilities.

The authors concluded that trichoscopy is a valuable noninvasive tool for diagnosing and monitoring nonscarring alopecia, aiding in the identification of new hair signs in difficult cases.

This study describes a distinct pattern of trichoscopic features associated with chemotherapy-induced alopecia and how these features evolve through different phases of chemotherapy treatment.

This study reviewed 39 studies with 3204 patients to identify characteristic trichoscopic findings in alopecia areata, highlighting yellow and black dots, broken, short vellus, and tapering hairs as key indicators. It found no single diagnostic trichoscopic finding but observed trichoscopy's utility in monitoring treatment response.

In this study, researchers reported that dermatoscopy effectively differentiates between various types of alopecia and scalp disorders, offering a fast, minimally invasive diagnostic method that improves the standard of care and reduces the necessity for scalp biopsies.

This review discusses treatment options for tinea capitis in children and reports no new clinical results; the authors recommend newer antifungal agents in cases of griseofulvin treatment failure.

This study found that certain trichoscopic patterns, like exclamation mark hairs, were associated with active or mild alopecia areata in Turkish patients, aiding in diagnosis and prediction of the disease.

This study found that trichoscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing various hair disorders by identifying specific trichoscopic patterns, such as hair diameter diversity in androgenetic alopecia and exclamatory marks in alopecia areata.

This study aims to describe the trichoscopic pattern of chemotherapy-induced alopecia and its changes during different phases of chemotherapy.

This study found that trichoscopy can rapidly and noninvasively diagnose tinea capitis and alopecia areata in pediatric patients by identifying specific hair patterns associated with each condition.

This study investigated the effects of 10600nm CO2 dot laser and Nd: YAG laser on Wistar rats' skin, finding that CO2 laser treatment resulted in higher positive expression of MMP-1 and TIMP-1 compared to Nd: YAG laser, with statistically significant differences noted.

This review discusses the application of trichoscopy in diagnosing various hair and scalp diseases and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize its role as a non-invasive diagnostic tool.

This review discusses treatments for tinea capitis, noting that while griseofulvin remains a common choice, shorter treatment options like terbinafine, itraconazole, and fluconazole show promise but require further studies.

This review examines the trichoscopic characteristics of scalp DLE and LPP, correlating these findings with histopathological data, but provides no new clinical results.

This study found that 'black dots' seen under trichoscopy are not specific to alopecia areata and may occur in various other hair and scalp conditions.

In this study, the Waris Hairline Dot Technique for hair transplantation demonstrated high patient satisfaction, excellent naturalness, rapid healing, and minimal complications, suggesting it is a reproducible and aesthetically superior method for creating natural hairlines.

This study found that thermal hair straightening in Asian women was associated with various signs of scalp and hair damage, including CCCA-like hair loss.

This article discusses various skin pattern formations, their molecular mechanisms, and highlights the need for further understanding to connect molecular biology with organism phenotypes, without providing new clinical findings.

This study found that dermoscopy can identify distinctive features in canine pattern alopecia, such as hair shaft thinning and pigmentation patterns, which may aid in diagnosing this and potentially other skin disorders.

This study suggests that dermoscopy provides additional insights for diagnosing pattern alopecia in short coated dogs, beyond what is visible through standard dermatological examination.

In this 48-week trial, 5% topical minoxidil was more effective than both 2% minoxidil and placebo in promoting hair growth in women with female pattern hair loss, with notable improvements in nonvellus hair count and hair growth assessments.
