Artificial dermis used for hair transplantation can reconstruct scalp defects effectively without the need for tissue expansion.

This study observed that trichoscopy of long-lasting lesions in a chronic stage revealed specific features such as absence of follicular openings, cicatricial patches, and thick arborizing vessels.

The document concludes that a woman has both Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and Lichen Simplex Chronicus, a previously unreported combination of conditions.

This study concluded that dermoscopy enhances the diagnostic capability for cicatricial alopecia beyond clinical inspection and identified novel dermoscopic features such as blue-grey dots.

This case report describes a unique instance of an otherwise healthy infant with phylloid terminal hair nevus, a form of hypomelanosis without extracutaneous abnormalities.

A rare skin condition causes red and dark patches on the face and limbs.

This case report highlights a 40-year-old Indian male diagnosed with follicular vitiligo, presenting as graying hair and depigmented patches, and emphasizes the importance of distinguishing this rare variant from similar conditions like alopecia areata due to its unique presentation.

This study concluded that ordinary vitiligo may initially present as follicular leukoderma, with small white macules coalescing into larger patches as the disease progresses.

Pityriasis rubra pilaris is a rare skin disorder with reddish-orange patches and thickened skin, needing better treatment understanding.

This case study describes an elderly woman with distinctive black hair patches and scalp pigmentation, but it does not provide a diagnosis or new findings.

This study identified key dermoscopic features in folliculotropic mycosis fungoides patients, showing that dilation of follicular openings and spiky follicular keratosis are specific indicators of follicular involvement, potentially aiding in diagnosis, classification, and treatment decisions.

This case report describes a 56-year-old woman whose nonscarring alopecia, consistent with alopecia areata with follicular mucinosis, resolved completely after treatment with oral prednisone.

This study found that RCM combined with dermoscopy can differentiate disease states between alopecia areata, tinea capitis, nevus sebaceous, and linear scleroderma of the scalp by identifying distinct dermal and follicular patterns.

This study found that topical and intralesional corticosteroids are effective in treating the primary symptoms of lichen planopilaris and promoting hair regrowth in the active perimeter of alopecic patches.

This case report describes the first known occurrence of keratosis follicularis squamosa with unilateral distribution in China, suggesting a potential new clinical subtype of the condition.

This review summarizes preclinical and clinical information on herbal products for hair loss treatment, highlighting their mechanisms, follicular penetration, and potential side effects, suggesting they may offer alternatives to synthetic drugs with fewer side effects.
