Diffuse alopecia in women may be related to androgens and iron deficiency, and basic hormone and nutrient screening is useful.

This case report describes a young woman with hypopituitarism who experienced hair loss typical of female androgenetic alopecia without detectable androgens, suggesting this hair loss pattern may not always be androgen dependent.

This study found that women with serum ferritin levels below or equal to 30 ng/mL have a strong association with an increased risk of diffuse telogen hair loss.

This article reviews various causes of diffuse hair loss, highlighting the importance of identifying triggers through thorough examination for effective treatment and emphasizing patient education in management; it reports no new clinical findings.

Hair loss that spreads out can often fix itself or be treated by finding and handling the cause.

This study found that treatment with cyproterone acetate and ethinyl oestradiol increased hair density in women with diffuse androgen-dependent alopecia, particularly when serum ferritin levels were above 40 μg/l.

This article reviews the potential impact of melatonin on hair growth, noting its benefits observed in animals, but reports no clinical results in humans to date.

This article reviews the characteristics, diagnosis, and management of different types of diffuse alopecia in women and provides no original research findings.

This review discusses diagnostic approaches for women with diffuse, nonscarring hair loss and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, five women with androgenetic alopecia experienced severe facial and limb hypertrichosis after using 5% topical minoxidil, which resolved after discontinuing the treatment.

This study found that women experiencing diffuse hair loss had significantly lower levels of plasma sex-hormone binding globulin compared to controls, while their testosterone levels remained normal.

In this case study, a 4-year-old girl's hair loss stopped after six months of zinc supplementation and dietary changes, suggesting a possible link to low zinc levels.

This study reviewed 40 patients with scalp symptoms and identified a new variant of diffuse lichen planopilaris in 20 individuals, suggesting these conditions should be considered in similar cases.

This study found that using selenium sulfide shampoo for seborrheic dermatitis was associated with hair loss, which ceased after discontinuing the shampoo.

In this study, researchers developed a new self-administered finasteride delivery system using powder-carrying microneedles that improved hair growth efficacy and addressed safety concerns compared to topical finasteride gel by allowing sustained intradermal release of the drug for three days with a single application.

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

This study suggests a new subtype of alopecia, termed 'acute diffuse and total alopecia of the female scalp' (ADTAFS), characterized by acute and total hair loss in women with a favorable recovery profile.

This article discusses the presentation of chemotherapy-induced anagen effluvium as either diffuse or patterned hair loss and reports no new clinical findings.

This article discusses methods to distinguish and manage female pattern alopecia and telogen effluvium in women with diffuse hair loss but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that among Japanese women with diffuse hair loss, decreased hair density without changes in vellus hair was the most common and distinct pattern observed, highlighting differences from previous observations in other populations.

This study suggests that hypersensitivity and increased serum IgE levels might contribute to the pathogenesis of diffuse alopecia areata through intense local inflammatory infiltration.

This study analyzed the features of alopecia areata incognita and diffuse alopecia areata, finding distinct patterns in hair loss regions and trichoscopic signs, and noted a benign course responsive to topical steroid therapy.

This study found that a vitamin B-group and L-cystine combination therapy improved hair quality and growth in women with diffuse effluvia, with one formulation showing greater efficacy than another and both performing better than placebo.

This case study reported that a 62-year-old woman with alopecia areata experienced significant hair regrowth with completely non-pigmented white hair following a 2-month course of oral prednisolone.

This study found that the presence of CD3(+) T-cells within empty follicular fibrous tracts is a reliable indicator for diagnosing diffuse alopecia areata instead of pattern hair loss.

This study found that telogen effluvium was the most common type of diffuse hair loss among women, with psychological stress and iron deficiency anemia being significant contributing factors.

This paper describes a case of epidermolysis bullosa simplex with muscular dystrophy associated with a novel PLEC mutation and diffuse alopecia, highlighting a potential genetic link that remains uncertain.

In this study, five women with androgenetic alopecia developed severe hypertrichosis on the face and limbs after using 5% topical minoxidil, which resolved after discontinuing the treatment.

In this study, baricitinib improved the resolution of arthritis or rash in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, but outcomes for skin involvement like alopecia were not reported.
