Small white dots on the scalp seen with a dermoscope correspond to sweat ducts and vary with different hair disorders.

This source reviews the latest developments in hair transplantation for androgenetic alopecia, suggesting that while medical therapy alone remains unsatisfactory, surgical hair restoration is shown to be highly gratifying for male pattern hair loss.

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.

Dermatoscopy helps diagnose hair and scalp disorders in people with Afro-textured hair, but more research is needed for better understanding and treatment.

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 article discusses features, genetics, and diagnostic challenges of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American women but reports no new clinical results.

In this observational study, researchers at a dental and craniofacial hospital found that the FUE technique for beard and moustache transplants is effective and safe, with minimal complications such as pinpoint white scars in some patients but no significant issues like infection or numbness.

This observational study reports a striking correlation between the use of henna hair dye and a specific pattern of hair loss, termed "hennapecia," but calls for experimental research to determine causality.

This review outlines the proposed theories behind the development of alopecia areata, emphasizing the autoimmune process involving lost immune privilege in hair follicles, and stresses the need to pinpoint specific pathogenic mechanisms for potential treatments.

In this study, trichoscopic examination revealed that variations in hair diameter were more common in certain types of alopecia affecting the frontal scalp, suggesting the importance of evaluating the entire scalp for accurate diagnoses, although limitations include a single center design and small sample size.

This study found that certain trichoscopic features like white peripilar sign, yellow dots, and scalp pigmentation are positively correlated with the severity of androgenetic alopecia in Chinese patients.

This study found that thermal hair straightening in Asian women was associated with various signs of scalp and hair damage, including CCCA-like hair loss.

The authors concluded that dermoscopy is a useful tool in diagnosing different types of hair loss and scalp conditions.

This review discusses trichoscopy as a noninvasive, effective technique for diagnosing various hair loss conditions and monitoring treatment, highlighting its potential to reduce scalp biopsy necessity.

This study found that incorporating adipose-derived stem cell conditioned medium into a polysaccharide hydrogel effectively reduced scar hyperplasia, with the combination offering better outcomes in preventing hypertrophic scarring compared to the medium alone in a rabbit ear model.

This article discusses various patterns of hair loss associated with lupus erythematosus, emphasizing the importance of identifying the specific type to aid in classifying systemic lupus erythematosus.

This review examines the increasing clinical applications of dermoscopy in diagnosing various skin conditions and highlights its potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary histologic confirmation.

In this review, the authors report that fractional resurfacing can be a safe and effective technique for treating scars and promoting photorejuvenation in Asian skin, though it requires cautious use to minimize risks like post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and rebound melasma.

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.

The document concludes that clinicians should be aware of common hair and scalp disorders in women of African descent and that more research is needed to develop effective treatments.

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.

Trichoscopy helps tell different hair loss types apart using specific scalp and hair patterns.

Pulsed dye laser and hydrogel dressings effectively treat hypertrophic scars.

In this study, baseline neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was associated with predicting early trichoscopic response in patients undergoing PRP-based treatment for non-scarring alopecia.

In this case study, trichoscopy was found to be a valuable non-invasive tool for diagnosing dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, enabling early detection and intervention to prevent disease progression and reduce the need for invasive procedures.

In this study, trichoscopy was found to be a valuable non-invasive tool for diagnosing scalp lesions, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and reducing the need for scalp biopsies by identifying specific trichoscopic features associated with conditions like psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and alopecia areata.

This review outlines diagnostic strategies and a thorough checklist for evaluating patients before they undergo hair restoration surgery, addressing non-scarring and scarring alopecia, to improve surgical outcomes and avoid errors, according to this source.

This study aimed to document and compare the prevalence and characteristics of hair loss in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, noting the differences in trichoscopic and histopathologic evaluations between those with and without alopecia. Results are not reported.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, focusing on its multifactorial etiology and challenges in clinical diagnosis, and calls for more research and better treatment options.
