This study reported that polarized dermoscopy was better for visualizing vascular patterns, scaling, and reticular pigmentation, while nonpolarized mode better documented features like black dots and tapered hair in various hair and scalp conditions.

This letter argues that cicatricial pattern hair loss likely represents end-stage androgenetic alopecia and not a variant of lichen planopilaris, as previously suggested.

Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution is a unique hair loss condition with inflammation and scarring, resembling but distinct from common balding.

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 study in Chinese patients with male pattern baldness found that 2% minoxidil solution led to moderate hair growth in 22% of participants and was generally well-tolerated.

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 scarring alopecia is common in autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis patients and significantly correlates with the disease's severity, highlighting the need for thorough hair evaluations in clinical management.

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

This study reported that dermoscopy can aid in distinguishing secondary syphilis from other skin conditions by enhancing diagnostic accuracy, though there are no standardized criteria; further research is needed to confirm these findings.

The authors concluded that VSCAPSI, a videodermoscopy-based assessment tool, provides evidence for early diagnosis, differential diagnosis, follow-up, and screening of scalp psoriasis.

A woman developed facial hair cysts after using a 3% minoxidil solution for hair loss, which disappeared after stopping the treatment and removing the cysts surgically.

This study observed that specific dermoscopic features, such as altered pigmentary network and yeast invasion of hair follicles, along with certain histopathological features, assist in diagnosing pityriasis versicolor.

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 study reported complete clinical clearance of tinea capitis in a 3-year-old boy after 8 weeks of treatment with oral griseofulvin and ketoconazole shampoo.

This review discusses an algorithm using patient history, clinical examination, and tests to help diagnose hair loss in women, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers found that dermoscopy does not provide distinguishing features for diagnosing scalp contact dermatitis from topical minoxidil compared to other causes of severe scalp itching.

This case report describes a 50-year-old man with folliculotropic mycosis fungoides stage IB, noting trichoscopic findings like dilated follicular openings, black dots, and dystrophic hairs, which are less commonly documented in this condition, suggesting trichoscopy could aid in early diagnosis.

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 details five cases of syphilitic alopecia, an uncommon symptom in syphilis affecting mainly men, emphasizing that dermatologists should be vigilant as it can appear as the sole symptom.

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

This study reported that different types of alopecia have distinctive dermoscopic patterns, which aids in their diagnosis.

This study reviews the diverse clinical presentations of tinea capitis, such as gray patches, a "black dot" appearance, and kerion, highlighting its complex differential diagnosis with conditions like alopecia areata and psoriasis.

This review discusses the characteristic trichoscopy patterns useful in differentiating lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia from similar conditions but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the immunological characterization of ichthyoses as psoriasiform or atopic patterns could help improve treatment, highlighting the need for targeted therapies to address itch and skin inflammation.

This study is the first to describe a mixed pattern of essential syphilitic alopecia using trichoscopy, identifying features like tapered bended hairs and perifollicular hyperkeratosis in a patient without secondary syphilis symptoms.

In this study, researchers identified elongated corkscrew hairs as a new trichoscopic pattern in immunosuppressed adults with chronic endothrix tinea capitis, which may help in earlier diagnosis and targeted mycological investigation.

This study characterizes alopecia in ARCI, highlighting its prevalence among patients with severe forms and revealing new associated trichoscopic features.

In this study, a dog with canine pattern alopecia showed improved multifocal alopecia and general hair regrowth after 3 months of melatonin treatment.

This study found that dermoscopy combined with calcium fluorescent white staining effectively aided in the early diagnosis and treatment evaluation of tinea capitis by highlighting specific hair changes and fluorescent patterns associated with different dermatophyte infections in a sample of 20 patients.
