This report describes two cases where lichen planopilaris compromised hair follicles in both donor and recipient areas after follicular unit transplantation, emphasizing the need for a biopsy if lichen planopilaris is suspected.

This review discusses loose anagen hair syndrome, a benign and self-limited condition predominantly affecting children, and highlights the importance of differentiating it from other hair disorders like telogen effluvium and trichotillomania, but reports no new results.

This study found that 6 months of Low-Level-Laser Therapy significantly increased overall hair density, particularly Vellus hair density, in women with hormonal, age-related hair loss.

This review discusses the mixed evidence and high risk of bias in studies on low-level light therapy for treating androgenetic alopecia and calls for rigorous randomized controlled trials to assess its efficacy.

This case study reported a rare occurrence of lepromatous leprosy with Lucio phenomenon in a 50-year-old Indonesian living in Malaysia, highlighting the necessity for primary care practitioners, even in non-endemic areas, to recognize this serious leprosy reaction to prevent complications and transmission.

This case report describes instances of lipedematous scalp and lipedematous alopecia in white adults, indicating these rare conditions may be more widespread and frequent in this population than previously thought.

This study found that low-level laser therapy may reduce inflammation and increase hair thickness in patients with lichen planopilaris after six months of treatment, though the small sample size limits the findings.

This study found that a keratin mutation may cause diffuse partial woolly hair associated with loose anagen hair syndrome in some families, but other genetic factors could play a role in different cases.

LIPH mutations cause woolly hair in some Chinese people.

This study found that low-level light therapy significantly increased hair density and diameter in androgenetic alopecia patients compared to a sham device, suggesting it could be an effective treatment option.

This article describes a non-blinded study investigating low level laser therapy for seven patients but reports no new clinical findings.

This paper presents a case of a young male with linear and annular lupus panniculitis of the scalp, detailing trichoscopic findings and their correlation with histopathological features, but reports no new generalizable results.

This study suggests that using a non-medicated, hypo-allergenic scalp clarifying shampoo may improve hair volume and reduce shedding in women with lichen planopilaris and female pattern hair loss.

This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia experienced more severe symptoms than those with alopecia areata, influencing their quality of life differently based on various patient characteristics.

This study found that human growth hormone encapsulated in nano-liposome increased the number of hairs and stimulated hair cycling in mice, suggesting potential benefits for addressing hair loss.

This case report describes a possible association between Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease and linear IgA/IgG bullous dermatosis in a 35-year-old Japanese male, though coincidence cannot be ruled out.

This study evaluated low-level laser therapy for treating Androgenic alopecia and suggested it may effectively stimulate hair growth and improve patient satisfaction, although more efficient treatments are needed.

This article reports a case of linear lichen planus developing along the lines of Blaschko during intramuscular triamcinolone acetonide therapy for alopecia areata multiplex.

This systematic review found that low-level light/laser therapy showed a positive effect in treating male and female pattern hair loss without side effects, as reported by all analyzed randomized controlled trials.

This review discusses clinical studies on low-level laser therapy for various types of hair loss and suggests it may be promising for those unresponsive to conventional treatments, but reports no new clinical results.
