This case study presents a 9-month-old male infant with symptoms suggesting a likely diagnosis of Hay–Wells syndrome, including severe scalp crusting, nail abnormalities, and partial syndactyly.

This study concluded that pseudopelade is an autosomal dominant condition, distinct from other forms of alopecia, characterized by atrophic hair follicle loss and notable familial association.

This study indicates that the OVOL1-OVOL2 axis may play a significant role in hair follicle differentiation and growth, potentially serving as therapeutic targets for hair disorders like alopecia and in the tumorigenesis of pilomatricoma.

In this case report, a woman with segmental vitiligo and hemifacial atrophy showed signs of stabilization after treatment with chloroquine and betamethasone pulse, suggesting a common underlying cause for these dermatoses.

This review discusses trichoscopic features of hair disorders in individuals with dark skin phototypes and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for more specific diagnostic criteria for these populations.

This study in Morocco found that all women with frontal fibrosing alopecia presented frontotemporal hairline recession, with trichoscopic features such as perifollicular erythema and follicular hyperkeratosis being indicative of the condition, and suggested a potential link between cosmetic products or emotional factors and the disease.

This study found that while a modified BASP classification for pattern hair loss could classify previously unrecognized types, it was less accurate and harder to use than the existing BASP classification.

This case report details a woman with autoimmune primary ovarian insufficiency linked to hormonal contraception discontinuation, who achieved pregnancy through ovarian stimulation and in vitro fertilization despite typically low fertility in such conditions.

This case report describes a young man with rapidly progressive cicatricial alopecia that shows features overlapping several other types, suggesting these conditions may exist on a spectrum.

This case report documents an unusual instance of follicular vitiligo in a young woman, characterized by selective hair depigmentation on the forearms, distinctive dermoscopic and Wood's lamp findings, and histological evidence suggesting functional impairment rather than complete loss of follicular melanocytes.

This case report describes two instances of rare linear alopecia on the occipital scalp, associated histologically with lupus erythematosus profundus, despite resembling alopecia areata clinically.

A teenager's hair with alternating white and dark bands, known as Pili annulati, is a genetic condition that is usually harmless and often considered attractive.

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

Hair removal with intense pulsed light can cause rare skin lesions that are hard to fully treat.

This study found that female pattern hair loss may be influenced by genetic factors and hormonal changes, particularly in young adults, and identified specific dermoscopic features associated with the condition.
