In this study, certain trichoscopic features were found to be sensitive and specific for diagnosing primary cicatricial alopecias and its subtypes using dermatoscopy.

This review suggests that decreased serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels may play a role in different types of non-scarring alopecia, but further studies are needed to explore vitamin D supplementation as a therapeutic option.

This review discusses chronic telogen effluvium and diffuse alopecia areata, providing clinical and diagnostic insights, but presents no new clinical findings.

This study describes a distinct pattern of trichoscopic features associated with chemotherapy-induced alopecia and how these features evolve through different phases of chemotherapy treatment.

This article reviews alopecia areata incognita, a rare condition mostly seen in young women, and discusses its similarities and differences with telogen effluvium; however, it reports no new clinical findings.

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 found that diffuse alopecia in female squirrel monkeys is associated with chronic telogen effluvium and appears to be predominantly age-related, potentially serving as an animal model for human diffuse alopecia.

This report describes a rare case of sarcoidosis occurring on an old blepharoplasty scar in a leukemia patient, suggesting the need for a skin biopsy when firm papules appear on a scar.

This study found that inadequate ferritin levels, rather than haemoglobin levels, indicated iron deficiency in women with telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, and female pattern hair loss.

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

This case study identified low iron stores, potentially linked to heavy menstrual periods, as a trigger for diffuse nonscarring alopecia in a 31-year-old woman, leading to a diagnosis of telogen effluvium, for which iron supplementation was prescribed.

This study found that lower vitamin D levels were inversely associated with the severity of female pattern hair loss and patchy alopecia areata, but not with telogen effluvium.
