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 review explores new theories, diagnostic tools, and management strategies for primary cicatricial alopecia but reports no new clinical findings.

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 study suggests that corkscrew hair could serve as a new diagnostic marker for tinea capitis and that dermoscopy might help diagnose atypical cases swiftly.

This study reviewed 39 studies with 3204 patients to identify characteristic trichoscopic findings in alopecia areata, highlighting yellow and black dots, broken, short vellus, and tapering hairs as key indicators. It found no single diagnostic trichoscopic finding but observed trichoscopy's utility in monitoring treatment response.

In this study, approximately 24% of an Egyptian population reported hair loss following COVID-19 vaccination, confirmed through dermoscopy, although stress and infection were also possible contributing factors that need further investigation.

Trichoscopy helps tell different hair loss types apart using specific scalp and hair patterns.

This study found that patients with vitiligo and alopecia areata had significantly higher serum granulysin levels compared to healthy controls, indicating a potential pathogenic role and suggesting that elevated levels may serve as a biomarker for monitoring disease activity, particularly in active vitiligo cases.

In this case report, a rare instance of Graham–Little–Piccardi–Lassueur syndrome coexisting with linear lichen planus was identified in a 35-year-old male, highlighting the condition's rarity in males, with dermoscopy aiding diagnosis through distinctive scalp and trunk lesion features.

This case report highlighted the use of dermoscopy not only for diagnosing skin disorders but also as an educational tool to inform patients about the harmful effects of unqualified medical advice, particularly highlighting the quackery issue in dermatology.

In this study, trichoscopy was found to be an effective noninvasive tool for diagnosing female pattern hair loss at early stages, potentially eliminating the need for scalp biopsies.

In this report, a 51-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus presented with recurrent joint pain and irregular patches of hair loss, raising differential diagnoses of androgenetic alopecia, lupus-related alopecia, or seborrheic dermatitis.

This study suggests that hormonal disturbances play a role in female pattern hair loss and that trichoscopy may be a useful tool for diagnosis and differentiation from other conditions.

This study found that combining 5% topical minoxidil and 5% topical spironolactone solutions may enhance treatment efficacy for androgenetic alopecia in both men and women, with significant reductions in vellus hair.

This article reviews the characteristics, associations, and diagnostic criteria for alopecia areata and reports no new clinical findings; the authors note the disease's unpredictable course and variable prognosis.

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 article discusses the pseudo 'fringe sign' in frontal fibrosing alopecia, highlighting that it is not solely related to traction, and it reports no new clinical results.

This study found significantly higher levels of the protein ULBP3 in patients with alopecia areata incognita compared to other hair loss conditions and healthy controls, suggesting ULBP3's potential as a diagnostic marker for AAI.

This study found that dermis micrografting improved hair growth and density in patients with androgenetic alopecia over 4, 6, and 12 months, suggesting it could be a novel treatment option.

This case report details two women with female pattern hair loss who experienced severe scalp allergic contact dermatitis from minoxidil, one due to the active ingredient and the other due to the vehicle.

This study observed no significant improvement of mesotherapy over 5% topical minoxidil for male androgenic alopecia, despite a small increase in hair shaft diameter variation with mesotherapy.

Polarized microscopy is a quick and free method to correctly identify types of hair loss.

This article presents a dissenting opinion, arguing that the case described by Dr. Molina et al. was diffuse alopecia areata, not acute alopecia areata as claimed, emphasizing the importance of distinct clinical differences.

This case report discusses cutaneous graft versus host disease presenting as fibrosing alopecia, suggesting a mechanistic model for understanding cicatricial pattern hair loss.

Epigenetic differences affect hair loss in identical Japanese male twins.

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 conducted at a tertiary dermatological clinic, researchers identified and described the clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological features of preclinical folliculitis keloidalis, including novel dermoscopic findings such as perifollicular scale, which was associated with fibrosis.

In this report, two pediatric cases of solitary basaloid follicular hamartoma, a rare benign skin malformation often misdiagnosed, were documented using dermoscopy, highlighting its clinical diversity and the need for accurate diagnosis.

Oral Vitamin D can improve hair density and reduce hair loss in Telogen Effluvium patients.

In this case report, a 20-year-old man with a birthmark was identified as having a supernumerary nipple, a developmental anomaly, using dermoscopy to distinguish it from other pigmented skin lesions such as melanocytic nevus or basal cell carcinoma.
