This report describes a case of trichodysplasia spinulosa in a renal transplant patient, characterized by unique dermatoscopic features and highlighting the need for timely diagnosis.

This systematic review evaluated 60 studies on trichoscopy in hair and scalp disorders, revealing gaps in accounting for variables like disease stage or hair texture, and underscoring a need for more comprehensive analyses to fully understand trichoscopic patterns.

This article reviews the condition plica neuropathica, including its manifestations, potential causes, and treatment, but it does not provide new clinical findings.

In this study, trichoscopy was highlighted as a valuable diagnostic tool for traction alopecia, particularly in black women, revealing common signs like vellus hair and hair casts, although it requires a suggestive clinical history for effective use.

This case study describes a 12-year-old boy with an unruptured epidermal inclusion cyst on his cheek, highlighting the role of dermatoscopy in diagnosing and differentiating cyst types for treatment.

This study found that yellow dots, black dots, exclamation mark hairs, broken hairs, and nail changes observed through dermoscopy are related to the severe form of alopecia areata.

This study reported that different types of alopecia have distinctive dermoscopic patterns, which aids in their diagnosis.

Dermatoscopy helps track scar changes and guide treatment.

In this study, UVFD and sUVRD techniques revealed distinctive characteristics of GD lesions, suggesting that GD might be more common in younger individuals and females than previously thought, possibly due to underdiagnosis. Incorporating dermatoscopy in exams may help improve GD detection and management.

In this study, researchers reported that dermatoscopy effectively differentiates between various types of alopecia and scalp disorders, offering a fast, minimally invasive diagnostic method that improves the standard of care and reduces the necessity for scalp biopsies.

This study found that yellow dots and broken hairs were the most common dermatoscopic features of alopecia areata in children, while short vellus hairs were most frequent in adults, with nail changes related to disease severity for both groups.

This study found a significant discordance between clinical symptoms and dermatoscopic signs with histopathological inflammation in patients with LPP and AFF, affecting diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

This review discusses congenital temporal triangular alopecia, focusing on its clinical presentation and dermatoscopic diagnosis, and highlights the limited understanding of its etiology and treatment options; it reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that 2.5% of patients with mycosis fungoides or Szary syndrome experienced alopecia, predominantly within skin lesions, with scalp metastases from other cancers also potentially causing hair loss, highlighting the diagnostic value of trichoscopy in differentiating alopecia types.

This study observed that keratosis pilaris is the most prevalent follicular keratotic disease, especially in adolescent and young adult females, and emphasized the key role of dermoscopy and histopathology in distinguishing it from other similar disorders and aiding in diagnosis.

This case report highlights the importance of early mycological diagnostics, supported by dermoscopy and ultraviolet-enhanced fluorescence dermoscopy, in preventing scarring from kerion celsi-associated hair loss in children.

This study reported that newly established dermoscopic diagnostic and grading criteria for androgenetic alopecia are highly accurate, with sensitivity and specificity at 98.3% and 96.7%, respectively.

This study reported that GA 0.1% spray led to only slight improvement in treating anogenital warts among HIV-positive patients over twelve weeks.

This review examines the role of dermatoscopy in cosmetic medicine and explores literature, training offerings, and practitioner utilization, but reports no new empirical findings.

This review examines the literature on dermatoscopy in aesthetic medicine, explores training supply and demand, and analyzes its adoption and use among professionals, without reporting new clinical findings.

This study suggests that dermoscopy provides additional insights for diagnosing pattern alopecia in short coated dogs, beyond what is visible through standard dermatological examination.

Both azathioprine and betamethasone treatments help with hair regrowth in alopecia areata, but azathioprine may have fewer side effects.

This study found that dermoscopy-guided scalp biopsies provided a definitive pathological diagnosis in 95% of patients with cicatricial alopecia.

This case report describes a 6-year-old girl diagnosed with monilethrix despite no familial history and treated with a topical minoxidil trial.

This study reports that yellow dots in a higher number per field of vision were the most consistent dermoscopic finding in severe cases of alopecia areata.

This article discusses how dermoscopy, particularly "entomodermoscopy," aids in diagnosing skin infestations and infectious dermatoses, enhancing clinical evaluations, and monitoring treatment efficacy for conditions like scabies, pediculosis, myiasis, and tungiasis.

This case report describes a patient with secondary syphilis exhibiting distinct dermoscopic features, including moth-eaten alopecia and an erythematous background more pronounced than previously reported.

This study presents a new hair removal algorithm for dermatoscopic images of skin lesions that improves hair detection accuracy by 2–7% and hair repair accuracy by 2–5% on average, using advanced techniques like maximum variance fuzzy clustering, Criminisi priorities, and the ant colony algorithm.

This study observed that videodermoscopic assessments of dermatomyositis patients revealed specific vascular and pigmentary features, suggesting it may be useful for preliminary diagnosis.

This study found that RCM combined with dermoscopy can differentiate disease states between alopecia areata, tinea capitis, nevus sebaceous, and linear scleroderma of the scalp by identifying distinct dermal and follicular patterns.
