Immune system changes may contribute to female pattern hair loss.

This report describes a child with ulerythema ophryogenes marked by eyebrow hair absence and progressive skin atrophy, whose condition did not improve despite elevated vitamin A levels via injections.

This article reviews the characteristics and presentation of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, a form of scarring alopecia similar to androgenetic alopecia and lichen planopilaris, but provides no new clinical findings.

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.

This case report describes a 59-year-old woman diagnosed with frontal fibrosing alopecia, presenting with scarring alopecia and perifollicular erythematous papules.

This review suggests the existence of a new syndrome characterized by keratosis pilaris, ulerythema ophryogenes, and monosomy 18p, emphasizing its potential utility in diagnosing monosomy 18p.

This study found that a family history of androgenetic alopecia and specific trichoscopic signs are strong predictors of female pattern hair loss, leading to a nomogram model for risk prediction.

The study observed that patterned fibrosing alopecia, a type of scarring hair loss, appears in some patients after hair transplants, facelifts, and other surgical interventions, sharing features with lichen planopilaris and androgenetic alopecia.

The authors present a case of punctate follicular porokeratosis, suggesting it as a distinct clinical entity distinguished by keratotic lesions originating specifically from hair follicles.

This case report highlights the importance of trichoscopy in diagnosing fibrosing alopecia in pattern distribution, distinguishing it from female pattern hair loss, and guiding effective treatment.

This study classified frontal fibrosing alopecia patients into three clinical patterns, finding that pattern III had the best prognosis and pattern II the worst after treatment with dutasteride and corticosteroids.

This case report highlights an atypical presentation of favus in an immunocompetent adult, where a psoriasiform plaque over the 'bindi' area was successfully treated with systemic itraconazole, achieving complete resolution without relapse. Simple stains proved essential for diagnosis in this resource-limited setting.

This study reported that both AGA and SD in Caucasian male patients showed overlapping histopathological features with FAPD, particularly perifollicular fibrosis and inflammation, complicating diagnosis.

This study investigated a unique frontal fibrosing alopecia-like presentation of alopecia areata, finding that patients experienced an insidious, chronic course with limited scalp hair regrowth, and showed a lower response to systemic corticosteroids compared to patchy alopecia areata.

This discussion highlights the evolving clinical spectrum of lichen planopilaris, noting atypical features and presentations in younger males that suggest potential different pathomechanisms from previously recognized variants.

This article is a letter to the editor about fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution and reports no new research findings.

This study aimed to characterize alopecia areata patients experiencing poliosis by comparing their clinical parameters to those without poliosis.

This review discusses spatial and temporal patterns in animals, focusing on skin appendage organs, but provides no new research findings.

This study describes Pseudopelade of Brocq as a rare and enigmatic scarring alopecia characterized by irregular hair loss patterns on the scalp, requiring exclusion of other conditions like lichen planopilaris and discoid lupus erythematosus for a specific diagnosis.

In this study, researchers found that trichoscopy helps detect early signs of female-pattern hair loss before it is visible, highlighting its importance for monitoring and managing the condition.

This case report describes the first observed instance of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution in a child, suggesting the condition is not solely androgen dependent.

This study observed that a targetoid polycyclic concentric hair regrowth pattern appeared in some male patients with alopecia areata following treatment, indicating a positive sign of recovery despite unclear etiopathogenesis.

In this study, trichoscopy was identified as a useful non-invasive tool to aid in the diagnosis of female pattern hair loss, with peri pilar sign and hair diameter variability being common findings.

This study found that dermoscopy of the axilla in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia revealed significantly higher odds of brownish peripillary halos, suggesting a diagnostic clue for the condition in this region.

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 descriptive study observed that a "moth-eaten" pattern of hair loss can occur in several skin diseases, with lichen planopilaris and discoid lupus erythematosus being among the most common conditions identified in patients from Baghdad, emphasizing its potential as a diagnostic tool for clinicians.
