This article discusses the classification and significance of cutaneous manifestations in systemic lupus erythematosus, emphasizing the importance of recognizing these skin features for disease management, but reports no new clinical results.

In this case report, a 38-year-old woman with Parry–Romberg syndrome displayed left-sided facial atrophy and subclinical central nervous system involvement detectable by neuroimaging, suggesting that even symptom-free cases may benefit from systematic brain evaluations.

In this study, researchers observed that patients with alopecia areata showed higher capillary density and signs of neovascularization compared to controls, suggesting a potential link between alopecia areata and microcirculatory changes.

This study reported a rare case of a young woman with complete heart block as the initial sign of systemic lupus erythematosus despite being negative for anti-SSA antibodies, highlighting the diagnostic utility of anti-PM-Scl 100 antibodies and nailfold capillaroscopy.

This study in Chennai, India, found that while some trichoscopic patterns are specific, many overlap across different scalp dermatoses, highlighting the importance of dermatologists staying informed about the latest findings.

This case series reports three novel and atypical morphological patterns of alopecia areata, termed the central sparing, paw, and punctate patterns, highlighting their importance for dermatologists in improving diagnosis and management of the condition.

Vascular patterns in dermoscopy help tell apart malignant and benign skin tumors.

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 study examined the clinical patterns and trichoscopic features of female pattern hair loss at a rural tertiary care hospital, but it does not report any specific results.

In this study, trichoscopy was identified as a useful non-invasive tool to aid in the diagnosis of female pattern hair loss, with peri pilar sign and hair diameter variability being common findings.

This article discusses various types of primary cicatricial alopecias and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis for effective management.

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 found that dermoscopy showed distinctive patterns for different types of alopecia, supporting its clinical usefulness for diagnosing diseases with small round or oval hairless patches on the scalp.

This study concluded that dermoscopy enhances the diagnostic capability for cicatricial alopecia beyond clinical inspection and identified novel dermoscopic features such as blue-grey dots.

This review discusses diagnostic tools for scarring alopecias, emphasizing trichoscopy as a low-cost, non-invasive method for more accurate diagnosis, although it reports no new clinical results.

Dermatoscopy helps track scar changes and guide treatment.

This study found that scanning electron microscopy can identify four specific hair morphology patterns in alopecia areata patients, offering a less invasive diagnostic option compared to punch biopsy.

In this study, certain trichoscopic features were found to be sensitive and specific for diagnosing primary cicatricial alopecias and its subtypes using dermatoscopy.

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.

The modified S pattern for scalp reduction is effective for removing more bald scalp and hiding scars in hair restoration.

This study found that among male hair transplant patients, most had a single crown hair whorl pattern, which was more often located centrally on the scalp compared to dual or undetectable patterns.

Trichoscopy helps tell different hair loss types apart using specific scalp and hair patterns.

This article discusses the significance of anatomic zones in hair loss and underscores the importance for hair restoration surgeons to understand these patterns and their implications for future treatments, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study identified two distinct trichoscopic patterns in the mid-frontal scalp of patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia who also display clinical features of androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, researchers evaluated trichoscopic features in 500 Egyptian patients with patchy hair loss and found specific patterns, such as perifollicular scale with 90% sensitivity and 99.5% specificity, which effectively aid in diagnosing primary cicatricial alopecias.

In this study, hair follicle effacement was identified as a key dermoscopic feature of cicatricial alopecia, and dermoscopy proved useful in distinguishing cicatricial from non-cicatricial alopecias.

This study found that most hair shaft abnormalities can be accurately diagnosed using a handheld dermoscope in a clinical setting.

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 review updates on various methods for hair and scalp examination, encompassing non-invasive, semi-invasive, and invasive techniques, and reports no new results.

This study examined the dermoscopic features of five patients with tuberous sclerosis and found that dermoscopy can differentiate characteristic cutaneous features from similar conditions, potentially aiding in earlier diagnosis when other symptoms are subtle or absent.
