This study found diverse clinical presentations of lichen planopilaris, with classic lichen planopilaris being the most common, highlighting the importance of recognizing this variability for accurate diagnosis.

This study reported that COVID-19 was causally associated with postinfectious hair shedding, which varied with disease severity, but hair completely recovered.

In this study, researchers reviewed recent advances in using nanoencapsulation technology to improve the pharmacological treatment of alopecia, suggesting its potential to enhance drug delivery and reduce adverse effects compared to conventional methods.

This review compiles existing data on frontal fibrosing alopecia and highlights the promise of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors as a treatment option, while noting the need for clarity on its cause and progression.

This review discusses histologic findings in alopecia and emphasizes the importance of understanding normal follicular anatomy and cycles in transverse sections, without reporting new results.

Over 50% of women over 50 experience hair loss, with minoxidil being the only proven effective treatment.

This paper presents consensus guidelines for standardized diagnostic criteria and assessment methods for frontal fibrosing alopecia to improve clinical research and data collection globally.

Some women with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia also have Lichen Planopilaris, which can lead to more symptoms and affect hair outside the scalp.

This review of 1360 scalp biopsy specimens revealed that 12.5% of cases involved multifactorial alopecia, highlighting the diagnostic complexity of multiple forms of alopecia present in single biopsies.

This study found that diffuse and pseudo-fringe sign patterns are common in Asian patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, and that treatments combining antiandrogens or antimalarials with topical therapy are effective.

This study identified a new subtype of lichen planopilaris that mimics androgenetic alopecia, selectively affecting vellus hair follicles and presenting unique histopathological features.

This review examines various conditions that resemble androgenetic alopecia, analyzing their pathogenesis and highlighting the difficulties they pose for accurate diagnosis and treatment; it reports no clinical results.

This review discusses female pattern hair loss as distinct from androgenetic alopecia and suggests that clinicians use tools like dermoscopy and histopathology for more accurate diagnosis, without reporting new findings.

This case report found that a novel botanical treatment halted disease progression and promoted hair regrowth in four patients with lichen planopilaris, indicating potential for use as a safe alternative therapy.

This systematic review evaluated 60 studies on trichoscopy in hair and scalp disorders, revealing gaps in accounting for variables like disease stage or hair texture, and underscoring a need for more comprehensive analyses to fully understand trichoscopic patterns.

This study found that lichen planopilaris in men typically presents similarly to women, with a lower likelihood of nonscalp hair loss and a higher association with mucosal lichen planus and thyroid disease.

In this study, focal atrichia was associated with late-onset female pattern hair loss, providing a clinical clue to its diagnosis, particularly separating it from other hair disorders.

The document concludes that more research is needed to better understand and treat scarring hair loss conditions.

In this retrospective analysis, patients with trichodynia who were unresponsive to standard treatments showed significant symptom improvement after receiving intradermal botulinum toxin type A, with nearly all patients benefiting, particularly those with scarring alopecia.

In this retrospective study conducted at a dermatology institute in Mexico, researchers analyzed 1,888 adult alopecia cases, identifying alopecia areata as the most common type. The study underscores the importance of regional studies to better understand alopecia patterns and inform management strategies.

This study found that targeting both hormonal and immune pathways improved treatment outcomes in androgenetic alopecia patients with an under-recognized inflammatory component called PIILIF, which may contribute to treatment resistance.

This study observed that bitemporal alopecia often coincides with conditions such as androgenetic alopecia, seborrheic dermatitis, and telogen effluvium. The researchers suggest bitemporal hair loss could help predict and monitor these associated hair diseases.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, its similarities to lichen planopilaris, and emphasizes the need for further research due to its underdiagnosis and impact on African-descended women.

This review outlines diagnostic strategies and a thorough checklist for evaluating patients before they undergo hair restoration surgery, addressing non-scarring and scarring alopecia, to improve surgical outcomes and avoid errors, according to this source.

In this case study, a 69-year-old woman with pityriasis rubra pilaris developed a scarring alopecia with lichen-planopilaris-like features, which responded well to early treatment.

Lichen planopilaris is a rare, chronic condition causing hair loss, mainly in middle-aged women, and early treatment is important to prevent permanent baldness.

This study suggests that Isaria cicadae Miquel rice fermentation extract may enhance regenerative wound healing of hair follicles in mouse skin through the Hippo pathway mechanism.

A young woman developed facial bumps before hair loss, which is unusual for her condition.

This study found that A-FABP serum levels were significantly higher in male patients with androgenetic alopecia compared to controls, and the authors concluded that A-FABP could serve as a biomarker for early detection of this condition.

This report presents the first Australian case of familial frontal fibrosing alopecia involving a mother and daughter and seeks to differentiate clinical features between familial and sporadic cases.
