A new computer tool quickly measures hair thickness differences in people with common types of hair loss.

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

This case report illustrates that fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution may be misdiagnosed as androgenetic alopecia due to similar hair loss patterns, but distinctive trichoscopic and histopathologic features help differentiate it.

This study observed that hair density and growth rates vary by location and age, and the presence of thin hairs predominates in younger women with mild patterned hair loss.

This study observed that specific dermoscopic features, such as altered pigmentary network and yeast invasion of hair follicles, along with certain histopathological features, assist in diagnosing pityriasis versicolor.

In this study, white females with Ludwig I female pattern hair loss had higher hair density on the occipital scalp, while Asian females had thicker hair diameters in both frontal and occipital areas.

This study identified distinct microscopic characteristics of acne scars, including inflammatory infiltrates and insufficient collagen deposition, suggesting that treatment should consider these histopathological findings and employ combination therapy.

Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution is a unique hair loss condition with inflammation and scarring, resembling but distinct from common balding.

Trichoscopy helped diagnose and treat a child's fungal scalp infection by spotting specific hair shapes.

In this study, researchers used trichoscopy to establish standardized findings for normal hair and scalp characteristics in 360 healthy males, noting significant age-related differences in hair diameter variability and identifying potential pathological indicators like colored dots and scarring not present in healthy individuals.

This study found that using micrografts and minigrafts with slits for male pattern hair loss led to satisfactory appearance outcomes, though patients experienced low hair density.

This study observed that dermoscopy is a useful technique for distinguishing between infundibular keratinising acanthoma and follicular cysts in dogs, with specific dermoscopic features noted for each.

This report highlights that trichoscopy is a useful, non-invasive tool for diagnosing tinea capitis in children, particularly in areas where lab facilities are limited.

This study found that micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) was highly effective for analyzing the cross-sectional geometry of hair fibres, including the medulla in highly curled hair, but less effective than scanning electron microscopy for surface details.

This study evaluated dermoscopic findings in patients with different types of primary cicatricial alopecias, suggesting trichoscopy may aid in differential diagnosis by revealing abnormalities in scalp structures.

This retrospective review of hair samples from pediatric patients indicated that microscopic hair examination might be a useful first-line investigation for diagnosing various genetic conditions.

This abstract discusses clinical techniques for diagnosing female pattern hair loss and reports no new research findings.

This study reported that dilated follicular infundibula are a highly useful histopathologic criterion for diagnosing alopecia areata, particularly during its recovery stage.

This study found that both reflectance confocal microscopy and optical coherence tomography can visualize detailed hair follicle abnormalities in various skin disorders, but larger, higher-quality studies are needed for clinical implementation.

This case series reports the specific dermoscopic features observed in two patients with syphilitic alopecia, highlighting alopecic patches with empty hair follicles and other distinguishing characteristics that may aid in differentiating it from other hair disorders.

This abstract provides contact information for Dr. Ban Kamoona at the Medical University – Sofia and contains no research findings.

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.

Microscarring is found in both alopecia areata and pattern hair loss, suggesting a shared cause.

In this hospital-based cross-sectional study, researchers observed that trichoscopy effectively differentiates between severe and mild male pattern hair loss by identifying specific features such as yellow and white dots, vellus hair, and hair shaft diversity.

UV-enhanced trichoscopy helps diagnose hair shaft disorders like pili annulati.

This study identified key dermoscopic features in folliculotropic mycosis fungoides patients, showing that dilation of follicular openings and spiky follicular keratosis are specific indicators of follicular involvement, potentially aiding in diagnosis, classification, and treatment decisions.

This study suggests that trichoscopy with a handheld dermatoscope may help differentiate temporal triangular alopecia from other localized alopecia by identifying specific hair features.

This study identified several specific trichoscopic features of trichotillomania, with trichoptilosis, V hair, and hair powder being the most frequent findings.

This study suggests that pili annulati is likely more common than traditionally thought, highlighting the importance of recognizing its characteristic clinical and trichoscopic features for accurate diagnosis.
