In this study conducted among secondary school girls in Minia, Upper Egypt, researchers reported a traction alopecia prevalence of 31%, suggesting a significant occurrence of this potentially reversible hair loss due to tight hairstyles.

This review discusses dissecting cellulitis of the scalp and reports no new clinical findings.

In this rare case report, the researchers described a 66-year-old African woman with lipedematous alopecia, highlighting its clinical features, the significance of palpation in examinations, and the uncertainty of it being a distinct disease entity or a combination of two conditions.

This article discusses the characteristics and pathogenesis of acne keloidalis nuchae among men with coarse curly hair, reviewing its association with factors like chronic inflammation and potential roles for metabolic syndrome and infection. It reports no new results.

This article reviews lichen planopilaris, a chronic scarring alopecia, and explores recent treatment developments, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the classification and diagnosis of primary cicatricial alopecias and reports no new clinical results; it highlights the need for effective treatments owing to limited evidence of current therapies' efficacy.
