This study suggests that corkscrew hairs in tinea capitis result from internal hair damage by Trichophyton violaceum and external resistance from scalp scales.

In this case report, an adolescent girl with itchy alopecic patches showed hair regrowth and no new alopecia patches after 6 weeks of treatment, despite initial minimal improvement with oral doxycycline.

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

This study found that trichoscopy can rapidly and noninvasively diagnose tinea capitis and alopecia areata in pediatric patients by identifying specific hair patterns associated with each condition.

This study found that dermoscopy is effective for distinguishing Tinea Capitis from Alopecia Areata by identifying unique trichoscopic features specific to each condition.

Comma hairs are a new sign for identifying scalp fungal infections.

This case report suggests that regular use of antifungal shampoo might obscure clinical indicators of Trichophyton tonsurans tinea capitis in healthy adults, necessitating detailed diagnostic approaches like histopathology and dermoscopy.

In this study, trichoscopic features aiding differential diagnosis of alopecia in Korean patients were found to be similar to those in Caucasians, but pigment pattern frequencies differed due to racial characteristics.

This case report describes how trichoscopy helped diagnose tinea capitis disguised as female pattern hair loss in cases of endothrix infection, highlighting its usefulness in avoiding misdiagnosis.

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.

In this study, the authors emphasize the importance of not ignoring the partial presence of comma or harpin hairs and black spots when identifying early lesions of tinea capitis, which may initially be overlooked due to their small size.

This study found trichoscopy to be a highly sensitive, non-invasive method for diagnosing tinea capitis in children, which could be valuable in resource-limited settings lacking mycological culture facilities.

This study aimed to identify trichoscopic features that help differentiate between tinea capitis and alopecia areata in children, enhancing diagnosis and treatment decisions visually and non-invasively.

Tinea capitis can be quickly diagnosed and treated using dermoscopy to prevent hair damage.

This study found trichoscopy to be a quick and effective method for diagnosing and monitoring tinea capitis in children, with improvements in trichoscopic features observed by week 2 and full recoveries confirmed mycologically by week 8.

In this literature review, researchers found that dermoscopic presentations of pediatric skin conditions often differ between children with skin of color and Caucasian children, with variations influenced by racial backgrounds.

This paper explores the diverse patterns and social significance of Black hair, approaching it as an art form, mathematical pattern, and ethnomathematic entity, and seeks to dispel myths while highlighting its vast possibilities.

This review highlights the lack of research on Afro-textured hair, emphasizing the need for better understanding of its genetic traits and molecular structure to develop more effective hair care solutions.

This study aimed to identify new quantitative geometric and mechanical parameters for curly and kinky hair using various microscopy and mechanical analysis methods, revealing correlations between hair fiber geometry and mechanical performance to enhance personal care product development and promote cultural inclusion.

This case report describes the first documented occurrence of pili torti in a healthy young adult cat, marked by noninflammatory and nonpruritic symmetrical multifocal alopecia.

This article discusses tinea capitis, highlighting its causes, symptoms, diagnostic methods, and the importance of selecting treatment based on the causal agent for effective outcomes; it reports no new clinical results.

This study explored how using kitchen-related analogies for dermatological signs, like comparing certain appearances to common culinary items, can enhance understanding and retention of complex medical concepts in dermatology.

Dermatoscopy helps diagnose hair and scalp disorders in people with Afro-textured hair, but more research is needed for better understanding and treatment.

This article discusses the uses and techniques of trichoscopy for hair and scalp disorders and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the cellular, molecular, and genetic factors contributing to lupus erythematosus and reports no new experimental findings.

In this case report, a 20-year-old woman exhibited progressive asymptomatic hair loss with a pattern inconsistent with alopecia areata or female pattern hair loss, showing areas of both extending and improving hair loss.

This paper discusses the use of dermatoscopy as a fast, noninvasive technique for diagnosing hair shaft disorders and reports no new results; the authors highlight its advantages over traditional microscopy methods.

This case report discusses the diagnosis and management of temporal triangular alopecia in a pediatric patient experiencing asymptomatic hair loss, emphasizing its nonprogressive nature and poor prognosis for regrowth.

This review summarizes the dermoscopic structures associated with infectious and inflammatory skin conditions and hair disorders in children but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the dermoscopic features of common hair and scalp disorders and reports no new clinical results, aiming to assist dermatologists in diagnosing conditions like tinea capitis and alopecia areata.
