This study reviewed common types of alopecia in primary care, emphasizing tailored diagnostic and treatment strategies based on type, with consideration of individual risk factors such as age, genetics, and medication associations.

This study reported an increase in tinea capitis in Stockholm children, mainly caused by Trichophyton violaceum and associated with immigration from Africa and family spread.

This case analysis found that trichoscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring treatment progress in tinea capitis by distinguishing between Microsporum and Trichophyton etiologies.

Male pattern baldness is common and can be managed with early intervention.

This study found that the parietal/occipital hair density ratio decreases significantly only when baldness is visibly present, making it no better than the Hamilton/Norwood scale for assessing baldness severity.

This review discusses the histopathology of male-pattern baldness and highlights ongoing disputes over several aspects, including sebaceous gland size and follicle loss, reporting no new clinical findings.

This report describes complications such as infection and scarring in men who underwent hair implantation for pattern baldness, suggesting these issues may occur broadly with this procedure.

This article argues against the widespread use of isolated frontal forelock hair transplantation for most patients, suggesting more extensive coverage is often a reasonable option.

This abstract does not report specific research findings or results, but mentions that scalp scars are a significant issue for neurosurgical patients with complex health challenges.

This case report describes a 59-year-old woman diagnosed with frontal fibrosing alopecia, presenting with scarring alopecia and perifollicular erythematous papules.

A woman developed rare, unexplained curly hair on her scalp and eyelashes.

Dermoscopy shows that varying hair shaft thickness and single hair follicles are main signs of male pattern baldness, especially in the fronto-temporal region.

This article discusses dermatoscopy's role in identifying alopecia areata, highlighting that exclamation mark hairs are a strong indicator of the condition, but reports no new clinical data.

This article discusses how the diagnosis and management of alopecia differ significantly between adults and children, emphasizing age-specific approaches but reports no new clinical findings.

This study suggests that lichen planopilaris should be considered as a potential diagnosis in African American women with scarring alopecia, often displaying an "arrowhead" distribution pattern, which may guide treatment strategies.

This study suggests that pilomatricoma can differentiate towards various hair follicle structures, including hair matrix, hair cortex, follicular infundibulum, outer root sheath, and hair bulge.

In this study, a case of a 70-year-old woman with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia showed that using a high-quality hair prosthesis improved her quality of life and mood, as measured by PHQ-9 and Skindex-29 scores, though such wigs are rarely covered by insurance.

This study found that microencapsulated dermal papilla cells implanted into mice ears led to the successful regeneration of hair follicles, with APA microencapsulations of 400µm diameter allowing effective nutrient exchange.

This article discusses the potential for targeted therapies in hair loss by exploring inflammatory and cytokine-mediated processes, but it presents no new clinical results.

This study found that human scalp hair follicles can respond to corticotropin releasing hormone stimulation similarly to the classical HPA axis, including up-regulating cortisol production and activating neuroendocrine feedback loops.

In this study, reduced hair density, diameter, and follicle miniaturization were key characteristics of female pattern hair loss in Southern Chinese women, with occipital and temporal sites also affected.

This abstract discusses the non-invasive technique of scalp micropigmentation for hair loss, focusing on its cosmetic effects and customization options, and reports no new research findings.

This report describes a rare case of pili multigemini, where multiple hair shafts arise from a single follicle, discovered during an examination for folliculitis on a patient's abdomen.

This article discusses the immune privilege in hair follicles and suggests that restoring its collapse might be an effective strategy for treating alopecia areata and cicatricial alopecia, but it reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a woman with scalp lichen planopilaris who developed facial papules coinciding with her hair loss condition, raising the question of an associated diagnosis.
