This article discusses the role of dermoscopy in identifying various hair loss conditions and recommends its use for improved diagnostic accuracy, particularly for distinguishing scarring from nonscarring alopecia and other similar conditions.

This case study reports a female adult patient with annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma on the scalp, observed through dermoscopy showing multiple yellowish/orange follicular dots against an erythemato-whitish background.

In this study, the application of topical 1% spironolactone in patients with androgenetic alopecia significantly increased hair count and thickness in females and increased hair count in males, though not all hair types showed significant changes.

This article highlights the various dermoscopic signs described in dermatology but reports no new clinical results.

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

This study reported that connective tissue nevi show distinctive dermoscopic and RCM features, with RCM being particularly helpful for diagnosing lesions of less than one year in duration.

This review discusses how dermoscopy enhances diagnostic accuracy in hair and scalp disorders, particularly distinguishing between conditions such as cicatricial and non-scarring alopecia, and offers insights into its practical uses in hair transplantation; it reports no new clinical results.

This study concluded that a combination of three specific dermoscopy features provides the highest diagnostic value for distinguishing actinic keratosis from other facial lesions.

Dermoscopy helped correctly diagnose a skin condition that was previously misidentified as a different hair loss disease.

Dermoscopy can help diagnose tinea capitis in children by looking for comma hairs, black dots, and broken hairs with white bands.

In this study, white females with Ludwig I female pattern hair loss had higher hair density on the occipital scalp, while Asian females had thicker hair diameters in both frontal and occipital areas.

In this study, dermoscopy image analysis was used to evaluate the effectiveness of hair nurturing products, with both the experimental and control groups showing significant results over 12 weeks.

This study found that videodermoscopy reveals distinct dermoscopic features in patients with alopecia areata incognita, aiding in biopsy decisions by identifying the appropriate sampling area and potentially avoiding unnecessary procedures.

This review discusses trichoscopy as a noninvasive, effective technique for diagnosing various hair loss conditions and monitoring treatment, highlighting its potential to reduce scalp biopsy necessity.

This study found that dermoscopy can be a useful tool for diagnosing androgenetic alopecia, particularly in determining hair diameter diversity as an essential feature in Asian populations.

This study reported that polarized dermoscopy was better for visualizing vascular patterns, scaling, and reticular pigmentation, while nonpolarized mode better documented features like black dots and tapered hair in various hair and scalp conditions.

This study observed no significant relationship between trichoscopic findings and disease severity in male or female androgenetic alopecia, despite some specific patterns correlating with different severity levels in female patients.

Trichoscopy helps diagnose and manage different types of hair loss effectively.

UV dermoscopy helps detect white hairs in children more effectively.

In this observational retrospective study, UVF-dermoscopy was found to be more effective than polarized dermoscopy in identifying follicular features and distinguishing between scarring and nonscarring alopecias, particularly in individuals with lighter skin tones.

USB videodermatoscopes are a practical and affordable alternative for diagnosing skin conditions.

This report describes how ultraviolet-induced fluorescence dermoscopy helped accurately diagnose scalp disorders, specifically alopecia areata and tinea capitis, in pediatric patients.

This study found that comma hairs are a distinctive feature of tinea capitis caused by Microsporum canis, distinguishing it from alopecia areata, which is characterized by exclamation mark hairs.

This study found that sphynx cats exhibit hair follicle dysplasia with abnormal hair shaft production, but without a reduction in the number of follicles, similar to murine KRT 71 mutants.

This study suggests that using ex vivo dermatoscopy can improve the accuracy of scalp biopsy processing by correctly guiding tissue bisection and potentially reducing laboratory costs and turnaround time.

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

This study suggests that using UVFD to examine non-pigmented facial lesions can potentially enhance diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary biopsies.

This report describes a case where dermoscopy of shed hair helped diagnose post-COVID acute telogen effluvium by revealing depigmented club-shaped bulbs, highlighting its potential as a noninvasive diagnostic tool.

This study describes a successful reconstructive A-T flap surgery on a 74-year-old male with a 35mm basal cell carcinoma on the scalp, resulting in a 50mm defect, with no complications and optimal functional and cosmetic outcomes reported.

The researchers recommend considering porokeratosis as a possible diagnosis for scalp lesions since accurate identification is crucial for management and new treatments like topical cholesterol/lovastatin show promising potential for treating porokeratosis.
