This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, emphasizing its clinical features, potential contributing factors, and treatment options, but does not report new clinical findings.

This article discusses the complexities of treating hair and scalp disorders in African American patients, emphasizing the importance of understanding their specific hair care practices and the unique impact on quality of life, but reports no new empirical findings.

The document concludes that clinicians should be aware of common hair and scalp disorders in women of African descent and that more research is needed to develop effective treatments.

This study found a high prevalence of central hair loss among African American women and associated it with diabetes mellitus type 2, bacterial scalp infections, and hairstyles causing traction.

This review discusses follicular and scarring disorders in skin of color and highlights the need for patient education and tailored therapeutic strategies, but does not report new clinical findings.

This review discusses various causes and treatments of scalp pruritus, distinguishing between conditions with primary skin lesions and those without, but provides no new clinical results.

This chapter reviews the prevalence, pathogenesis, and management of hair and scalp disorders but reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African-descent females, discussing possible causes, associated styling habits, and potential treatments, but reports no new clinical findings; the authors call for further research.

This study found that patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia preferred shared decision-making with their doctors regarding treatment management.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia and emphasizes the need for more research to understand and manage the disease, while also suggesting initiatives like educating hairstylists for early detection.

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

This article reports three cases of African American men with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, highlighting the need to consider this diagnosis for male patients with vertex hair loss and scalp symptoms.

This study highlighted that diagnostic complexities can lead to misdiagnosis of alopecia areata in Black patients, commonly due to similar presentations of scarring alopecias and multiple hair loss types co-occurring within a single patient.

This research investigated immune cell involvement in various types of inflammatory alopecia by analyzing gene expression data from scalp samples, revealing distinct cellular changes in conditions like Alopecia Areata, Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, Lichen Planopilaris, and Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia, which may inform future therapeutic targets.

In this study, researchers observed that approximately 25% of patients experienced hair loss after COVID-19 infection, with nonscarring alopecia being the most common form.

This review discusses the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia, emphasizing a multifactorial approach and reporting no new clinical results.

This case series observed a potential familial link in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), suggesting a genetic predisposition that may be worsened by hair grooming practices.

This study observed that fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution shows varied histological features and may resemble lichen planopilaris with initial diffuse distribution, potentially leading to scarring alopecia.

This article reviews common disorders leading to hair loss in females and discusses their clinical features and management strategies, but it presents no new clinical results.

This study reported that androgenetic alopecia in women becomes more prevalent with age, with risk factors including heredity and endocrine disorders, and differs clinically from male-pattern hair loss by causing diffuse hair thinning rather than loss at the temples or crown.

This review examines the increasing clinical applications of dermoscopy in diagnosing various skin conditions and highlights its potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary histologic confirmation.

This article describes a unique case of lichen planopilaris with a previously unreported trigger in one of the youngest documented adult patients, without providing new clinical results or data.

This study reported that chemical relaxants and hair styling practices were associated with scarring hair loss, particularly among women with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecias.

This review discusses the pathogenesis and clinical features of androgenetic alopecia, highlighting potential links to fibrosing alopecia and suggesting the need for combined therapeutic approaches; it reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews clinical practice gaps in dermatology regarding the care of patients with hair disorders, including attitude, knowledge, and skill deficiencies, and reports no new results.

This study found that the Verhoeff-Van Gieson stain effectively distinguishes scarred from non-scarred dermis and aids in classifying types of permanent alopecia based on elastic tissue patterns.

This study reported that patterns of fibrosis identified through elastin staining may help distinguish specific forms of primary cicatricial alopecia in biopsy specimens, with certain patterns suggesting particular diagnoses.

This study observed that pigmented casts are present in various alopecia types but are not specific to any single diagnosis, with distinct morphological features noted in trichotillomania.

This article reviews the evaluation and management of scarring and nonscarring alopecias, emphasizing the importance of early treatment to prevent permanent hair loss in scarring forms, but reports no new clinical results.
