This study observed that orange spots and dystrophic hairs on trichoscopy may aid in diagnosing scalp sarcoidosis.

In this observational study, researchers found that alopecia areata is associated with specific trichoscopic features, such as black dots, yellow dots, and vellus hair, and highlighted trichoptilosis as a potential overlap feature with other hair disorders, suggesting a need for further differentiation between these conditions.

This case report describes a strong dermoscopic and histopathological correlation in lichen nitidus, helping differentiate it from other similar conditions.

This case study from Dr. Batra’s discusses how individualized homeopathic management guided by miasmatic understanding may offer long-term relief for a young male patient with alopecia areata and recurrent urticaria, suggesting an alternative to conventional treatments that often result in relapses and side effects.

This systematic review found an inverse relationship between vitamin D levels and the severity, extent, and pattern of alopecia areata, suggesting vitamin D deficiency may contribute to or worsen this autoimmune hair loss condition.

This article explores the Ayurvedic perspective on PCOS pathogenesis and suggests that treatments focusing on balancing tridoshas and enhancing digestion may be effective, but it reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 53-year-old woman with a rare presentation of trichostasis spinulosa on her breast and abdomen, featuring itchy, comedo-like lesions. Dermoscopy revealed diagnostic features that may eliminate the need for a biopsy, highlighting the potential for non-invasive diagnosis in such cases.

In this review, the role of DHT in male-type obesity and metabolic diseases is discussed, with increased levels potentially exacerbating cardiovascular disease risk; the paper reports no new results.

This study found that pregnant women experience a broad array of skin changes, with pigmentary alterations and striae being the most common physiological changes observed.

This report describes a case of trichostasis spinulosa, a condition with pruritic, black papules on the face caused by keratotic plugs with embedded vellus hairs.

This study observed significant differences in the skin microbiome between hidradenitis suppurativa patients and healthy individuals, notably with decreased β-diversity and a distinct abundance of certain bacteria in affected skin.

This case report documents a successful treatment of alopecia areata using Ayurvedic management, suggesting that Ayurveda could help restore balance and promote hair regrowth in this autoimmune condition.

Patients with Focal Dermal Hypoplasia often experience skin, nail, hair, and bone issues, and may benefit from calcium and vitamin D supplements.

This study observed that an integrative approach using Anu Taila Nasya, Shiro Abhyanga, and iron supplementation significantly reduced hair fall and improved scalp and hair condition in a 25-year-old female patient with Khalitya.

In this case study, an 18-year-old woman's triangular alopecic patch diagnosed as temporal triangular alopecia was considered non-progressive and had no impact on her quality of life, so no treatment was initiated.

In this study, both Trikatu Churna and Pippali Churna were found to significantly improve PCOS symptoms related to Artavakshaya, with Trikatu Churna showing slightly better efficacy in regulating menstrual cycles over a 90-day period among 40 women with PCOS.

This study found that dermoscopy improves clinical diagnosis accuracy for trichostasis spinulosa and proposes a new dermoscopic classification with implications for treatment outcomes.

This study found that skin exposure to toluene diisocyanate in mice creates immune-recognition reservoirs in the skin's stratum corneum and hair follicles, potentially leading to sensitization and allergic reactions.

In this study, hair shafts from trichothiodystrophy patients with ERCC2 mutations revealed abnormal cuticle structures and protein imbalances compared to normal hair shafts.

Low testosterone levels may contribute to female pattern hair loss in men.
