Nanostructured lipid carriers can improve alopecia treatment by enhancing drug delivery and promoting hair growth.

This study identifies specific trichoscopic features such as empty follicles and perifollicular erythema in Caucasians with frontal fibrosing alopecia, which may assist in diagnosis and monitoring, but stresses the need for further research due to limited demographic data.

This case report documents the rare occurrence of lipedematous scalp in two black Caribbean female siblings, suggesting a potential genetic factor and noting psychiatric co-morbidities as novel associations.

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 report describes a case of trichodysplasia spinulosa in a renal transplant patient, characterized by unique dermatoscopic features and highlighting the need for timely diagnosis.

This case study suggests that trichoscopic examination of the beard can aid in diagnosing frontal fibrosing alopecia in men, especially when challenging to differentiate from androgenetic alopecia.

This pilot study found that examining changes in scalp scales after scraping may effectively distinguish seborrheic dermatitis associated with androgenetic alopecia from fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution.

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 suggests that hair follicles may be the primary target in the onset of various skin diseases, potentially spreading to affect the surrounding epidermis.

This article discusses the uses and techniques of trichoscopy for hair and scalp disorders and reports no new clinical results.

Permanent hair loss after a stem cell transplant can be a sign of chronic immune system attack on the scalp.

This study examined 15 female patients with hypothyroidism to investigate the characterization of their alopecia and ruled out other causes, using medical histories, and clinical, trichoscopic, and histologic findings.

In this study on Iranian patients with non-scarring alopecia, researchers found that androgenetic alopecia was the most common subtype, with perifollicular inflammation observed more in males. They reported that transverse sectioning is generally sufficient for diagnosis, but combining with vertical sectioning provides more comprehensive information.

This case report describes a 46-year-old man diagnosed with frontal fibrosing alopecia, a condition primarily affecting postmenopausal women, highlighting its rare occurrence in men.

This report describes a case of isolated congenital atrichia combined with nevus flammeus.

This study found that ultraviolet treatment for skin conditions such as vitiligo can damage hair, with psoralen plus ultraviolet A causing more follicle damage than narrow band ultraviolet B.

This case report describes multiple skin tumors in an 11-year-old Doberman Pinscher with color dilution alopecia, but it remains unclear if the condition increases risk for such tumors.

Lichen planus pigmentosus and fibrosing frontal alopecia in Colombia are likely different stages of the same disease.

This review describes trichoscopy features of lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, identifying distinct patterns that help differentiate the two conditions.

This study found that both methotrexate and azathioprine were equally effective and well-tolerated in improving symptoms of lichen planopilaris over six months, with no significant difference between the two treatments in terms of efficacy.

This study found that line-field confocal optical coherence tomography effectively visualized key diagnostic features of classic lichen planopilaris in real time, suggesting its potential as a valuable diagnostic tool.

In this study, researchers observed that a hidden scalp condition could contribute to acne keloidalis nuchae and potentially other primary cicatricial alopecias, impacting their diagnosis and treatment.

This article discusses the potential link between traction alopecia and hijab-wearing, emphasizing the need for careful examination techniques, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found trichoscopy to be a highly sensitive, non-invasive method for diagnosing tinea capitis in children, which could be valuable in resource-limited settings lacking mycological culture facilities.

This review discusses the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, pathogenesis, and genetic factors of alopecia areata, while stressing the need for targeted and effective treatments, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that yellow dots, black dots, exclamation mark hairs, broken hairs, and nail changes observed through dermoscopy are related to the severe form of alopecia areata.

This review discusses recent research on androgenetic alopecia's etiology and pathogenesis, highlighting both androgenic and nonandrogenic factors but reports no new experimental results.

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

Finasteride may help treat frontal fibrosing alopecia, but more research is needed.
