This study reported that Asian patients have few racial differences in trichoscopy compared to Caucasian patients, except for certain features like greater mean hair diameter and masking effects by normal skin color.

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

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 article reviews the use of dermoscopy in distinguishing temporal triangular alopecia from alopecia areata, emphasizing its role in avoiding invasive diagnostics and ineffective treatments; it reports no new clinical findings.

This report describes an 8-year-old male with trichotillomania, confirmed by trichoscopy showing characteristic hair damage and patterns.

This report documents the first known case of a scalp infection by *Trichophyton soudanense* in the United States, occurring in a 6-year-old girl in Philadelphia.

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 study reports anagen hair loss four weeks after scalp surgeries, likely due to transient ischemia, and emphasizes the importance of informing patients about potential hair loss and recovery within three months.

This review describes trichoscopy features of lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, identifying distinct patterns that help differentiate the two conditions.

In this case study, the researchers reported a rare incidence of bilateral hyperpigmented macules on a patient's lower legs, possibly due to cyclophosphamide, suggesting that this chemotherapy drug may directly stimulate hair follicles to cause skin discoloration.

The CWARTS tool is a promising method for assessing warts and could improve treatment and research.

This study described the clinical characteristics of 18 pediatric patients with alopecia areata at a hospital in Denpasar from 2021 to 2023, finding equal gender distribution and hair loss as the most common symptom, with onset typically within 1–6 months.

The researchers reported that baricitinib treatment for at least 52 weeks reduced severe alopecia areata severity and improved psychological well-being and quality of life in study participants.

This study evaluated the effect of 308 nm excimer laser on alopecia areata, reporting that among 34 patches treated, 13% showed excellent response and 67% demonstrated moderate to good response, as assessed by dermoscopic indicators of disease remission and regrowth.

In this study, seven patients with refractory alopecia areata treated with concentrated growth factor and microneedling-assisted betamethasone experienced significant hair regrowth, with one achieving over 50% regrowth and six showing complete recovery, without adverse effects.

In this study, tinea capitis was identified as the most common cause of noncicatricial alopecia in children, followed by alopecia areata and marginal traction alopecia. Diagnosis using trichoscopy enhanced understanding by revealing specific hair and scalp disorder characteristics.

This case report highlights the importance of considering artefacts like artificial hair fibers during trichoscopy, as they can interfere with the accurate diagnosis of hair conditions.

This study found no overall difference in effectiveness between fractional CO2 laser and microneedling for resistant alopecia areata, although the laser group showed a statistically significant early response in terminal hair regrowth.

In this study, trichoscopy was highlighted as a valuable diagnostic tool for traction alopecia, particularly in black women, revealing common signs like vellus hair and hair casts, although it requires a suggestive clinical history for effective use.

This review highlights the occurrence of yellow dots, a trichoscopic finding, in several scalp conditions beyond alopecia areata and reports no new clinical results.

Small white dots on the scalp seen with a dermoscope correspond to sweat ducts and vary with different hair disorders.

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 review discusses the side effects and diseases related to hairstyles and hair treatments among black women, highlighting the need for thorough examination by dermatologists, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that berry extracts, especially black raspberry extract, may have anti-aging effects due to their high antioxidant activities.

This study suggests that yellow and white dot signs may be new dermoscopic indicators of advanced androgenetic alopecia in dark-skinned females, with certain trichoscopic features associated with darker skin types.

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 downregulation of EGF and KGF signaling is necessary for hair follicle initiation in placodes, revealing a new role for KGF in hair follicle formation in mice.

This review discusses the physiological basis, history, and current development of male hormonal contraception, highlighting its potential risks and benefits, but reports no new research findings.

In this study, researchers found that black holes with primary Proca hair exhibit distinctive optical properties, including a two-boundary shadow structure and additional inner rings, offering novel observational signatures and potential insights into strong-gravity environments.

Drugmakers are optimistic about targeting the Wnt pathway for new treatments despite past challenges.
