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.

This study found that hair follicle stem cells could enhance burn wound healing and improve tissue tensile strength in rats.

This study identified specific dermoscopic features for differentiating rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis, suggesting dermoscope's value in diagnosing facial erythema with atypical presentations.

This review discusses the potential mechanisms and evidence supporting low-level laser therapy for stimulating hair growth in men and women, while noting its safety and effectiveness but needing further study on specific parameters.

Dermatoscopy and videodermatoscopy are useful for diagnosing and monitoring various skin, hair, and nail conditions.

This article discusses the potential genetic basis of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in women of African ancestry but does not provide new research results.

This study found that peripilar signs on the scalp are linked to perifollicular lymphocytic infiltrates in early androgenetic alopecia, detectable even in areas with high hair density.

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 study found that low-level laser therapy significantly increased hair growth in women with androgenic alopecia, achieving a 37% greater increase in hair counts compared to placebo.

This study found that the progestins norgestimate and dienogest may help treat clinical hyperandrogeny in women by inhibiting skin 5 alpha-reductase activity with minimal androgenic potential.

This study found that low level laser therapy with a HairMax LaserComb improved hair counts and tensile strength in patients with androgenetic alopecia, particularly in males and vertex areas.

This article reviews the diagnosis and treatment of tinea capitis in children, noting that newer antifungal agents can offer effective systemic therapy alongside supportive topical treatments; it reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the categorization of hair loss and increased hair density disorders related to systemic diseases and reports no clinical results, emphasizing the potential diagnostic value of history, physical examination, and histopathologic data.

This article proposes two new categories of cicatricial alopecia—“unstable” and “stable”—and suggests surgical excision as preferred over hair transplantation, especially for unstable cases.

This study found no protective effect of topical calcipotriol on hair loss in chemotherapy patients, and the authors propose the term "atrophic telogen effluvium" for this type of hair loss.

This study found that low-level laser therapy may significantly improve androgenic alopecia in both men and women, either alone or alongside treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.

This review discusses the widespread use of Brazilian keratin treatments and notes that many contain formaldehyde, marketed as safe despite potential safety concerns, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that topical melatonin solution was associated with positive effects on hair density and reduction in hair loss for androgenetic alopecia, with good tolerability reported in several clinical trials.

This article discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, highlighting its prevalence, potential genetic factors, and management challenges, but reports no new clinical conclusions and calls for further research.

This study found that combining low-level light therapy with topical minoxidil 5% may lead to better hair regrowth and patient satisfaction in treating female pattern hair loss compared to using each treatment alone.

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 the most common hair loss disorder among children in south-east Nigeria was tinea capitis, and its clinical course was influenced by parental attitudes towards treatment.

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 article discusses the use of cosmetic hair care products to improve patient satisfaction in hair loss treatment and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize complementing medical interventions with such products.

This study reported that a 0.005% finasteride solution may encourage hair regrowth and reduce balding areas in patients with androgenic alopecia, without significant absorption or adverse effects.

This study reports that the duration of hair loss is positively associated with the severity of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African-American women.

This study found that horizontal sections of scalp biopsies in patients with Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia often reveal follicular miniaturization, inflammation, and scarring, which can guide personalized treatment.

This review discusses the development of an algorithmic guideline for treating androgenetic alopecia in Asian patients, using the BASP classification to address limitations of previous guidelines, and reports no clinical results.

In this study, researchers found that the existing Norwood and Hamilton classifications for androgenetic alopecia in Indian males had significant limitations, with 18% of cases not fitting into existing pattern categories.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma injections improved hair density and diameter in women with androgenetic alopecia not responding to other treatments over 24 weeks, with no adverse events reported.
