This case report describes a 54-year-old female erroneously treated for androgenetic alopecia with no improvement, later diagnosed with alopecia areata incognito through histopathological evaluation and appropriately treated.

This article reviews the evaluation and management of scarring and nonscarring alopecias, emphasizing the importance of early treatment to prevent permanent hair loss in scarring forms, but reports no new clinical results.

This report details a case where diffuse lichen planopilaris and female pattern hair loss in a 32-year-old woman mimicked diffuse alopecia areata, highlighting the diagnostic value of dermoscopy-guided biopsies and the importance of timely treatment to prevent disease progression.

This review discusses the various trichoscopic features of androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, noting white dots in advanced cases as indicators of poor prognosis, but reports no new clinical results.

This article presents case reports of three women with hair thinning primarily on the top of the head, suggesting a pattern consistent with female-type androgenetic alopecia, though this is not diagnostic.

A woman got male pattern baldness from touching her husband's testosterone gel.

In this study, researchers evaluated trichoscopic features in 500 Egyptian patients with patchy hair loss and found specific patterns, such as perifollicular scale with 90% sensitivity and 99.5% specificity, which effectively aid in diagnosing primary cicatricial alopecias.
