This case report describes a one-year-old boy with combined occipito-linear and triangular fronto-temporo-parietal alopecia and discusses the possibility of these lesions being a variant of neonatal occipital alopecia.

This piece describes a study designed to quantify hair density in the frontoparietal area of women without self-reported androgenetic alopecia, but it reports no results.

This article discusses how dihydrotestosterone (DHT) contributes to male pattern baldness by affecting genetically sensitive hair follicles and includes no new research findings.

This study found that the occipital scalp had significantly higher epidermal nerve fiber density than the frontoparietal scalp, which may explain increased sensitivity in some patients.

This case report documents an 8-year-old boy with alopecia areata presenting as symmetric alopecic patches with a triangular and targetoid pattern on the scalp, successfully treated with clobetasol propionate foam.

A woman's hair loss was correctly diagnosed as Lichen planopilaris after initial misdiagnosis, highlighting the usefulness of trichoscopy in diagnosing hair disorders.

This case study reports successful treatment of an 11-year-old girl's trichotillomania with cognitive behavioral therapy, mild topical treatments, and supportive parental involvement, without psychopharmacologic intervention.

This study found that injection of adipose-derived adult stem cells improved hair density, thickness, and reduced inflammation in women with female pattern hair loss over 24 weeks.

This case report describes a 5-year-old girl with lipoid proteinosis, characterized by a raspy voice, thinning scalp hair, and recurrent crusted lesions leading to pock-like scars.

This case study diagnosed a 60-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia after histopathological analysis showed characteristic scarring patterns in the hairline area.

This case report details atrichia with papular lesions in a 4-year-old girl, highlighting specific histological findings on her scalp and other affected areas.

The authors report two clinical cases of scarring alopecia in a mother and daughter, suggesting a potential link between frontal fibrosing alopecia and ulerythema ophryogenes.

This case report describes a 20-year-old female with favus caused by T. schöenleinii, which initially improved with antifungal treatment but recurred due to poor adherence, underscoring favus as an ongoing health issue in Turkey.

In this case report, a female patient with frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen scleroatrophicus vulvae experienced excellent results from hair microtransplants combined with finasteride and topical minoxidil, maintained over six years.

This case report highlights a rare instance of gastric trichobezoar, or "Rapunzel syndrome," associated with trichotillomania, characterized by hair accumulation in the stomach of a patient.

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

This review discusses various therapeutic options for alopecia areata and reports no new clinical results; treatments may manage symptoms but do not cure the condition.

This case study reported significant but temporary hair regrowth and skin repigmentation in a patient with vitiligo and alopecia areata during treatment with oral ruxolitinib.

In this case study, an 11-year-old boy with extensive alopecia areata showed 80% hair regrowth after six months of treatment with methylprednisolone despite initial lack of response to topical therapies.

Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage fibrosing alopecia in older women.

This study presents an algorithm that may help physicians diagnose female hair loss by synthesizing patient history, clinical examination, and various diagnostic tests.

This paper reviews alopecia areata incognita, a condition causing diffuse hair loss without typical patches, and highlights the need for scalp biopsy for diagnosis, but reports no new findings.

In this study, using a combination of topical minoxidil (2%) and isotretinoin (0.05%) gel led to complete hair regrowth in 83.3% of alopecia areata patients within six months, demonstrating effective and well-tolerated treatment results.

This study found that trichoscopic examination can effectively differentiate between alopecia areata and trichotillomania, as specific features such as black dots and exclamation marks favor alopecia areata while hair breaking at various lengths and several unique patterns are exclusive to trichotillomania.

Certain scalp tissue features can predict how well alopecia areata responds to steroid injections.

This study found that the stratum corneum of scalp skin in humans has distinct functional characteristics compared to the facial skin and volar forearm, including higher hydration levels and intermediate epidermal turnover rates.

In this study, vitiligo and alopecia areata were more common among patients with chronic graft-vs-host disease than previously reported, linked to higher NIH skin scores and greater immunosuppressive treatment.

This study found significantly higher levels of the protein ULBP3 in patients with alopecia areata incognita compared to other hair loss conditions and healthy controls, suggesting ULBP3's potential as a diagnostic marker for AAI.

This retrospective study of 1604 alopecia areata cases reported 13 instances of a potentially new hair regrowth pattern, termed the "androgenetic-like pattern".
