This study identified that trichoscopy can effectively diagnose frontal fibrosing alopecia by highlighting specific scalp abnormalities in postmenopausal women.

Dermoscopy helps diagnose frontal fibrosing alopecia by identifying specific scalp features.

This case report describes a pediatric instance of follicular atopic dermatitis in a dark-skinned patient, highlighting its unique clinical and dermoscopic features, such as purplish to brownish scaly papules and specific dermoscopic patterns, which are crucial for enhancing diagnostic accuracy in similar cases.

This study found that fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution in Hispanic male patients often resembles androgenetic alopecia, with a tendency for earlier onset compared to European and North American populations.

In this study of a Colombian sample, the researchers found that while sex, alopecia location, and symptoms aligned with global reports, age at presentation, tobacco use, and use of wigs and dyes were different from those noted in other countries.

This study identified 43 patients with psoriasiform skin reactions associated with Brazilian Keratin Treatment, suggesting this adverse effect may be underdiagnosed and important to recognize through clinical and dermatoscopic features.

This study found that horizontal sections of scalp biopsies in patients with Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia often reveal follicular miniaturization, inflammation, and scarring, which can guide personalized treatment.

Treatment improved some symptoms but not all.

This study found that targeting both hormonal and immune pathways improved treatment outcomes in androgenetic alopecia patients with an under-recognized inflammatory component called PIILIF, which may contribute to treatment resistance.

This article discusses how the balding scalp's exposure to UV and near-infrared light may accelerate aging, with changes detectable under ultraviolet light; it presents no new clinical findings.

This study reported that fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution can occur in patients of color, with clinical and histopathological features allowing for an accurate differential diagnosis.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, including its various forms and potential multifactorial causes, but provides no new clinical findings.

This study concluded that dermoscopy enhances the diagnostic capability for cicatricial alopecia beyond clinical inspection and identified novel dermoscopic features such as blue-grey dots.

This article questions whether frontal fibrosing alopecia and fibrosing androgeneic patterned hair loss are overlapping conditions or stages of the same process, calling for further research to clarify their underlying factors.

This study found that trichoscopy criteria can distinguish female androgenic alopecia from chronic telogen effluvium, with specific features achieving 98% diagnostic specificity.

This study established standard trichoscopy norms for adult white females, providing benchmarks for hair thickness, percentage of thin hairs, and pilosebaceous units with single hair across different scalp areas.

This study reviewed scalp biopsies from African-American patients, identifying distinct features and diagnostic clues for scarring alopecia types such as traction alopecia and central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

This review explores the infundibulum's role and importance in skin diseases and emphasizes the need for further research into its biology and potential therapeutic targeting, but it presents no new findings.

This review discusses lichen planopilaris in children and highlights its rarity, potential for misdiagnosis, and need for suspicion in atypical or treatment-resistant alopecia cases, but reports no new results.

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

This study suggests that early initiation of treatment in fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution may lead to a more favorable outcome, as evident in some patients experiencing arrested disease progression and hair regrowth.

This report describes a case of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution in a postmenopausal woman, highlighting its distinction from other forms of lichen planopilaris and pattern hair loss.

In this study, trichoscopy was used to diagnose female androgenic alopecia with 92% specificity by identifying specific hair and scalp patterns.

This case report describes a novel dermoscopic finding of blue-grey dots in a target pattern around yellow dots and follicles in radiation-induced alopecia following cerebral angiography with fluoroscopy.

This study found that lichen planopilaris in men typically presents similarly to women, with a lower likelihood of nonscalp hair loss and a higher association with mucosal lichen planus and thyroid disease.

This study found that specific skin lesions are common indicators of pediatric rheumatologic diseases, potentially aiding dermatologists and rheumatologists in diagnosis when biopsies are challenging.

This case report found that intense focused skin tightening ultrasound reduced excessive underarm sweating by nearly 80% in two patients and was associated with temporary side effects like tenderness and redness.

Lichen planopilaris is a rare, chronic condition causing hair loss, mainly in middle-aged women, and early treatment is important to prevent permanent baldness.

The document concludes that diagnosing hair loss requires evaluating multiple histological features, as no single feature is definitive on its own.

About 17% of people in France have dandruff, and those with dandruff are more likely to have sensitive and itchy scalps.
