This report describes ten cases of pityriasis amiantacea to raise awareness of this uncommon scalp condition, highlighting its negative test findings and its uncertain association with other skin diseases.

This review discusses the usefulness of trichoscopy in diagnosing and managing scalp and hair disorders, reporting it as a valuable tool for linking clinical and histological findings.

This review covers trichoscopy's role in diagnosing scalp disorders, emphasizing its potential to improve clinical accuracy, but it reports no new clinical results.

Salivary vitamin D and IL-6 could help diagnose and manage non-scarring alopecia.

This review examines ethosomal structures and their mechanisms as skin delivery systems, outlining preparation methods and applications but presents no new experimental findings.

In this case study, a 9-year-old boy with progressive scalp alopecia was diagnosed with tinea versicolor caused by Malassezia, and treatment with topical ketoconazole and selenium sulfide resulted in full hair regrowth in 6 weeks.

This study found that while tape-strip RNA sequencing effectively profiles surface-connected epithelial compartments of human hair follicles, deeper follicular programs require traditional biopsies, except in cases of alopecia areata, which enhances the technique's follicular reach in capturing inflammatory signatures.

This study found trichoscopy to be a quick and effective method for diagnosing and monitoring tinea capitis in children, with improvements in trichoscopic features observed by week 2 and full recoveries confirmed mycologically by week 8.

This case study observed that high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment significantly improved hair density and reduced hair loss in a female patient with androgenetic alopecia, with no adverse events reported.

This study found that trichoscopy was 73.77% concordant with histopathology in diagnosing patchy alopecia, highlighting its usefulness as a diagnostic tool for conditions like alopecia areata, lichen planus pigmentosus, and discoid lupus erythematosus.

This study reports that a hair shedding threshold of 100 hairs or more may provide the best concordance with clinical diagnosis for distinguishing chronic telogen effluvium from androgenetic alopecia.

This review examines the increasing clinical applications of dermoscopy in diagnosing various skin conditions and highlights its potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary histologic confirmation.

This study observed that while topical drug therapy for erosive pustular dermatosis rarely leads to complete resolution, surgery may achieve remission in male patients.

This review discusses advancements and gaps in using proteomics for hair testing and its potential in developing a medical proteome repository, but reports no new research findings.

In this study, a thoroughbred mare exhibited a unique case of alopecia areata with lymphocytic infiltration at both the bulbar and isthmic levels of hair follicles.

This study identified a new Demodex species causing demodicosis in a zoo koala, successfully treated with daily oral ivermectin.
