In this study, researchers found that dermoscopy revealed specific features in Malassezia folliculitis, such as folliculocentricity and perilesional erythema, which can aid in its identification and potentially distinguish it from acne vulgaris.

In this study, researchers identified specific clinical and dermoscopic features of chronic radiation-induced dermatitis in 32 head and neck cancer patients treated with radiotherapy, and determined age, gender, and prior surgery as independent risk factors for developing this skin toxicity.

This case report describes how a 23-year-old woman experienced eyebrow thinning and hair loss linked to cosmetic use, with diagnostic tests confirming follicular damage. Discontinuing the product led to eyebrow regrowth, highlighting potential risks from cosmetics and the value of non-invasive diagnostics for evaluation.

This study found that combining dermoscopy with reflectance confocal microscopy is more sensitive and specific than using either method alone for assessing vitiligo disease activity and treatment response. Additionally, specific characteristics observed via these techniques correlated with either good or poor treatment outcomes.

In this study, researchers examined trichoscopic features in 80 patients with androgenetic alopecia and found that hairshaft thickness heterogeneity was the most common feature, highlighting trichoscopy as a useful, non-invasive diagnostic tool for assessing this condition.

In this study, researchers found that among women with frontal fibrosing alopecia and hyperpigmented facial lesions, most cases were diagnosed with lichen planus pigmentosus, while some were identified as melasma or drug-induced.

In this study, dermoscopy was suggested as a potentially useful tool for improving the clinical recognition of pilomatricoma.

This review emphasizes the importance of thorough scalp examinations and dermatoscope use in diagnosing scarring alopecia and reports no new results.

This study found that dermoscopic indicators like black dots and tapering hairs are valuable markers for diagnosing and assessing the severity and activity of alopecia areata in Asian patients.

This study found that trichoscopy criteria can distinguish female androgenic alopecia from chronic telogen effluvium, with specific features achieving 98% diagnostic specificity.

In this study, researchers identified yellow dots as the most common dermoscopic feature of alopecia areata, followed by black dots, broken hairs, short vellus hair, and tapering hairs.

This study reports that dermoscopy is a useful diagnostic tool for distinguishing acute diffuse and total alopecia of the female scalp from female pattern hair loss by identifying specific hair features.

This study identified distinct dermoscopic patterns associated with different types of scalp tumors, highlighting variability in lesions related to patient age, gender, and tumor thickness.

This article presents a case study of a 50-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia and discusses the role of dermoscopy in differentiating it from other types of alopecia, reporting no new clinical results.

In this study, trichoscopic examination found distinct hair characteristics for diagnosing eyebrow loss: alopecia areata is marked by features like exclamation mark hairs, while frontal fibrosing alopecia shows dystrophic hairs and distinctive regrowth patterns.

This case report describes alopecia areata dermoscopy in an African-American patient, revealing novel patterns such as a diffuse honeycomb-like pigmented network and white dots, suggesting skin color may affect dermoscopic findings.

This article reviews the use of dermoscopy in distinguishing temporal triangular alopecia from alopecia areata, emphasizing its role in avoiding invasive diagnostics and ineffective treatments; it reports no new clinical findings.

Dermoscopy helped diagnose discoid lupus erythematosus in two patients without needing skin biopsies.

This study suggests that infrared thermography may be a useful noninvasive tool for diagnosing active phases of frontal fibrosing alopecia when combined with dermoscopy.

This review discusses the role of dermoscopy in diagnosing hair and scalp disorders, noting its ability to aid in differential diagnosis without the need for biopsies; it reports no new clinical results.

This systematic review provides a detailed overview of the clinical and dermoscopic features of cutaneous adnexal tumors, highlighting their potential to mimic other skin lesions and assisting in differential diagnosis.

Dermoscopy quickly and accurately diagnosed a rare hair disorder in a 12-year-old girl.

This article discusses eruptive vellus hair cysts, describing their clinical characteristics, and reports no new research findings.

This study found that dermoscopy can identify specific features within various nail diseases that aid in early diagnosis, although further validation of these findings is needed.

This correspondence describes the dermoscopic features of an osteonevus of Nanta but does not report new clinical findings.

This study suggests that diffuse alopecia areata initially involves an intense inflammatory attack during the anagen phase, progressing through different hair cycle stages with specific shedding patterns.

This study found that dermoscopy is valuable for diagnosing facial actinic keratosis in Chinese patients, with specific patterns like red pseudonetwork and follicular plugs suggesting its utility in differential diagnosis.

This case report describes the diagnosis of monilethrix in a 2-year-old boy using trichoscopy, highlighting its rarity and the challenge of diagnosing it without a family history.

This case report details the dermoscopic features of bilateral cutaneous larva migrans in an adult male, noting similarities with lymphangioma circumscriptum but highlights that typical dermoscopy magnification may be insufficient for diagnosis.
