A man's scalp hair loss was due to a combined melanocytic nevus and alopecia areata, suggesting a possible link between the two conditions.

Hair care practices like using relaxers and tight braiding can lead to permanent hair loss in black women.

This study concluded that low energy laser therapy may effectively complement classical treatment for scalp alopecia, leading to faster results, although long-term maintenance still requires ongoing classical therapy.

This study found trichoscopy to be a reliable non-invasive method for diagnosing various forms of alopecia, aiding in clinical management and reducing the need for biopsies in a hospital-based setting with 90 patients, including those with uncertain diagnoses.

This study found that scalp micropigmentation improved esthetic outcomes and patient satisfaction in scarring alopecia, particularly in conditions with less fibrosis like frontal fibrosing alopecia and traction alopecia.

This study found that intralesional triamcinolone acetonide is more effective and faster than platelet-rich plasma in promoting hair regrowth for scalp alopecia areata.

A woman's hair grew back within 3 months after temporary hair loss from improper head positioning during shoulder surgery.

This study found that the stratum corneum of scalp skin in humans has distinct functional characteristics compared to the facial skin and volar forearm, including higher hydration levels and intermediate epidermal turnover rates.

This article updates a diagnostic tool (SALT II) for assessing hair loss by adding more precise measurements of scalp surface area, particularly useful for various types of alopecia.

This study suggests that for single biopsy specimens, transverse sections may be preferable for diagnosing noncicatricial alopecia, while vertical sections may be better for suspected lichen planopilaris.

This case report highlights the successful use of the Bardach modification of the curved tripod flap for repairing cicatricial pressure alopecia, offering a natural appearance and effective tension distribution in scalp reconstruction.

This case report describes a 37-year-old woman who developed scalp psoriasis and severe alopecia after taking adalimumab, with complete hair regrowth following treatment change.

This study suggests that Lindera strychnifolia root extract may help restore a healthy microbial balance on the scalp in men with androgenetic alopecia after 83 days of treatment.

This case study reported on a 72-year-old woman initially diagnosed with inflammatory alopecia, later identified as having angiosarcoma of the scalp, revealing the importance of considering unexpected malignancies during evaluation of suspected inflammatory alopecia cases.

This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia showed distinct scalp bacterial imbalances compared to healthy individuals, which were associated with unhealthy lifestyles. These microbial changes might contribute to follicular inflammation, potentially accelerating hair loss in these patients.

In this study, 13 androgenetic alopecia patients receiving Er: Yag laser treatment showed a significant increase in Staphylococcus spp. three days post-treatment, suggesting the laser may help modulate scalp microbiota balance.

This report details a rare case of lipedematous alopecia with classical symptoms, including scalp swelling and patchy hair loss in a 40-year-old woman.

This case report describes a rare instance where scalp psoriasis mimicked severe alopecia, initially misdiagnosed as central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

Men with both baldness and scalp psoriasis often don't have psoriasis on bald spots.

This study found that female androgenetic alopecia is linked to oxidative stress, microinflammation, and fibrosis, suggesting these could be key targets for treatment improvements.

This study developed the Alopecia Areata Investigator Global Assessment (AA-IGA) to measure scalp-hair loss in alopecia areata patients, incorporating perspectives of both patients and clinicians to define treatment success.

This study found that dermoscopy-guided scalp biopsies provided a definitive pathological diagnosis in 95% of patients with cicatricial alopecia.

This study demonstrated the expression of type 1 interferon-related proteins in inflammatory lesions of alopecia areata, showing a distinct distribution pattern compared to cicatricial alopecia.

In this study, only 1 out of 5 patients with anti-TNF-α induced psoriasiform eruptions showed good response to topical treatment, while systemic therapy and discontinuation of anti-TNF-α may prevent scarring alopecia in severe cases.

This study found that micrografts containing human hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells significantly increased hair count and density compared to placebo over 58 weeks in patients experiencing hair loss.

This case report describes two instances of rare linear alopecia on the occipital scalp, associated histologically with lupus erythematosus profundus, despite resembling alopecia areata clinically.

This study found that microneedling improved hair density and thickness with minimal side effects in patients with androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium.

This study found that contrast enhanced phototrichogram (CE-PTG) significantly improved detection of various hair types and growth stages in androgenetic alopecia compared to standard PTG and was comparable to biopsy analysis.

Thorough clinical examination is crucial for diagnosing unusual alopecia.

In this study, transverse sectioning of scalp biopsy samples showed higher diagnostic accuracy than vertical sectioning for noncicatricial alopecia, although both techniques are important for accurate diagnosis.
