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.

This study reports that specific hair care practices common among individuals with high-curl-pattern hair could exacerbate seborrheic dermatitis, presenting significant treatment challenges and psychological impacts, and emphasizes the need for further research to tailor culturally sensitive solutions.

This review highlights the increasing use of trichoscopy, a noninvasive and well-tolerated diagnostic tool, to aid in the accurate diagnosis and management of various pediatric hair and scalp conditions, such as alopecia and other abnormalities.

In this case study, treatment with terbinafine effectively resolved symptoms of tinea capitis in an eight-year-old male, highlighting trichoscopy as a valuable diagnostic tool for this common fungal scalp infection and proposing its integration with clinical data for quicker diagnosis in settings lacking mycological facilities.

This case report illustrates that fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution may be misdiagnosed as androgenetic alopecia due to similar hair loss patterns, but distinctive trichoscopic and histopathologic features help differentiate it.

This review highlights that frontal fibrosing alopecia’s increasing incidence may involve immune, genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors, yet its pathogenesis remains complex and not fully understood.

This article describes the development and validation of a standardized instrument for measuring skin involvement in cutaneous lupus erythematosus, aiming to aid future clinical research and trials.

This study reported an increase in tinea capitis in Stockholm children, mainly caused by Trichophyton violaceum and associated with immigration from Africa and family spread.

This article reviews various types of scarring alopecia, detailing their inflammatory characteristics, but presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that among patients with seborrheic dermatitis, the "dandelion" vascular conglomerate observed through trichoscopy was correlated with Malassezia scalp colonization.

The document concludes that while some hair and scalp disorders can be treated, hair loss from destroyed follicles is permanent, and damaged hair can only regrow naturally.

This report describes two unusual cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia in men, highlighting potential vaccine-related immune triggers and genetic factors, especially regarding the pronounced facial papular phenotype observed.

This study found significant hair growth improvement with microneedling radiofrequency treatment in most patients with patterned hair loss, with minimal short-term adverse effects.

In this review, the authors explored current and novel treatment options for androgenetic alopecia, noting both FDA-approved pharmacologic treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride and various non-pharmacologic and surgical methods, including hair transplantation and scalp micro-pigmentation.

This study found a significant discordance between clinical symptoms and dermatoscopic signs with histopathological inflammation in patients with LPP and AFF, affecting diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

This article reviews a clinician's approach to diagnosing and managing canine alopecia and reports no new clinical findings.

This study explored the use of flower-inspired analogies in dermatology, highlighting how these vivid descriptions aid in diagnosing skin conditions by drawing parallels between clinical features and floral patterns, effectively blending scientific observation with artistic imagery.

In this case report, a 31-year-old man with frontal hairline recession saw a marked improvement in hair density and scalp appearance after undergoing six mesotherapy sessions alongside twice-daily application of 5% minoxidil, attributed to the treatment protocol combining nutrients, bioactives, and topical minoxidil.

In this study, the authors highlighted treatments for androgenetic alopecia, noting that combination therapies with drugs like minoxidil and antiandrogens often require at least 6 months for clinical improvement, while also emphasizing the value of patient counseling for informed treatment choices.

The study observed that patterned fibrosing alopecia, a type of scarring hair loss, appears in some patients after hair transplants, facelifts, and other surgical interventions, sharing features with lichen planopilaris and androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, researchers found that hair follicle orientation in Fz6 −/− mice is disrupted and that hair may reorient itself over time through a self-organized process.

This study explored a mechanism for making Turing pattern formations more predictable and robust by isolating pattern modes to prevent their sensitivity to initial conditions, which can lead to different outcomes from minor initial changes.

This Mendelian randomization study found that specific dietary patterns, such as consuming antioxidant-rich foods like melon and tea, may have protective effects against hair loss, while processed carbohydrates, alcohol, and certain dairy products could increase the risk of androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata.

This study reports that patients with primary cicatricial alopecia have distinct bacterial colonization and higher antibiotic resistance compared to those with non-inflammatory scalp conditions, indicating the importance of bacterial culture and susceptibility testing for targeted therapies.

This study found that a new "bead-jet" printing system for mesenchymal stem cells in Matrigel beads improved skeletal muscle regeneration and skin healing in a high-density, sparse pattern.

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 case report describes a 27-year-old woman who experienced facial swelling due to allergic contact dermatitis from using minoxidil 5% foam.

This article discusses various hair-related issues, such as dandruff and hair loss, and outlines potential solutions, highlighting the need for personalized treatments and cost-effective approaches based on specific hair problems.

This study found that non-infectious scalp disorders, especially psoriasis and alopecia areata, are common and challenging to diagnose due to overlapping symptoms.
