This study found that dermoscopy can identify distinctive features in canine pattern alopecia, such as hair shaft thinning and pigmentation patterns, which may aid in diagnosing this and potentially other skin disorders.

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

Dermatoscopy helps track scar changes and guide treatment.

This study found that both microneedling and microneedling with platelet-rich plasma improved hair thickness and density in male pattern alopecia, but no additional benefit was observed with the addition of platelet-rich plasma.

This study found that combining oral vitamin D with topical minoxidil improved female pattern hair loss more effectively than either treatment alone.

This study found that both intralesional minoxidil 8% and botulinum toxin type A were equally effective in treating female pattern hair loss, with no significant difference in results between the two treatments.

In this study, researchers in South India observed that dermoscopic features like hair diameter diversity and miniaturized hair were common in female pattern hair loss, with yellow dots and honeycombing indicating more advanced stages, highlighting dermoscopy's utility in diagnosing and differentiating FPHL early.

This study developed and validated an objective dermoscopic severity score for evaluating female pattern hair loss, which may serve as a supplementary outcome measure in therapeutic trials.

Vascular patterns in dermoscopy help tell apart malignant and benign skin tumors.

This study found that scalp melanoma often occurs in areas with androgenetic alopecia, and patients without alopecia might experience a later diagnosis due to hair coverage, leading to potentially worse outcomes.

This study examined the dermoscopic features of five patients with tuberous sclerosis and found that dermoscopy can differentiate characteristic cutaneous features from similar conditions, potentially aiding in earlier diagnosis when other symptoms are subtle or absent.

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 no significant associations between dermoscopic findings and the severity or stage of alopecia areata in children, though there was a notable correlation with nail findings.

This study at Al Hussein hospital identified retrograde alopecia in 50 out of 1,000 patients with severe androgenetic alopecia, emphasizing the need to thoroughly examine and exclude affected hair when assessing donor areas for hair transplantation.

This study found that scalp melanoma in areas with androgenetic alopecia presents with more frequent detrimental mutations and may have a poorer prognosis due to late diagnosis linked to hair concealment.

This study found that trichoscopic quantitative parameters reliably indicate the severity of female pattern hair loss and complement the Sinclair scale by offering a more objective and reproducible grading system.

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 study found that dermoscopy is an effective tool for diagnosing and monitoring androgenetic alopecia in women, as it helped identify common signs such as hair miniaturization and peripilar brown halo.

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

This case report highlights an unusual trichoscopic appearance in alopecia areata due to dithranol staining, which may obscure typical patterns and reveal atypical vascular features in the interfollicular spaces.

In this study, researchers found that melanoma risk factors and characteristics vary with age, noting distinct differences in younger, middle-aged, and older patients, with strong correlations in the oldest group.

This article reports the first documented cases of Marie-Unna hereditary hypotrichosis in Egypt, highlighting the variability of genetic mutations in this rare form of congenital hair loss.

Reflectance confocal microscopy can tell apart white dots on the scalp as either sweat gland ducts or hair follicle openings.

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 study suggests that dermoscopy can help identify and distinguish various rosacea subtypes, improving clinical diagnosis and treatment decisions.

In this study, researchers found that a low-cost USB dermoscope can effectively detect microscopic hair changes associated with early female pattern hair loss, making it a useful tool for diagnosis even without expensive equipment or programs.

This study found that thermal hair straightening in Asian women was associated with various signs of scalp and hair damage, including CCCA-like hair loss.

Permanent hair loss after a stem cell transplant can be a sign of chronic immune system attack on the scalp.

This analysis concludes that while dermoscopy can aid in diagnosing tinea capitis, further research is needed to establish its independent diagnostic validity.

In this retrospective study, researchers described the dermoscopic features of dermatitis cruris pustulosa et atrophicans in 30 patients, finding that follicular-based pustules and other specific features were predominant, with male patients being more affected and primarily involving the lower extremities.
