In this study, 41.6% of patients with secondary syphilis exhibited syphilitic alopecia, with the 'moth-eaten' pattern most commonly observed through trichoscopy.

Minoxidil solution and foam both increase hair growth, but the solution works better than the foam.

This study found that videodermoscopy enhances diagnostic accuracy for scalp and hair disorders beyond simple clinical inspection and reveals novel disease features that could improve clinical understanding.

This case report describes a 59-year-old woman diagnosed with frontal fibrosing alopecia, presenting with scarring alopecia and perifollicular erythematous papules.

This study observed that erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp in elderly patients was effectively treated with high-potency topical steroids, with plasma and lymphocyte dermal infiltrates helping to confirm diagnosis.

This study suggests that male pattern baldness—especially moderate to severe—is an independent risk factor for prostate cancer and high-grade disease in men undergoing prostate biopsy.

In this case report, localized myxedema of the scalp was identified in a patient with Graves disease and Hashimoto thyroiditis, emphasizing the varied skin manifestations in autoimmune thyroid conditions.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, emphasizing its clinical features, potential contributing factors, and treatment options, but does not report new clinical findings.

This study found that low fluence photoepilation with intense pulsed light targets the pigmented area of hair follicles, causing temporary hair loss by inducing a catagen-like state without severe follicle damage.

This case study describes a patient with discoid lupus erythematosus whose scalp lesions progressed despite treatment, with findings suggesting inclusion cysts and comedones as part of primary or secondary changes.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PCDLBCL-NOS) on the scalp of a 45-year-old female, highlighting its unusual presentation and the initial treatment response but also noting severe subsequent complications.

This study found that ultraviolet-induced fluorescence trichoscopy can help differentiate between scarring and non-scarring alopecia and between psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.

This review describes lichen planopilaris diffuse pattern and recommends topical corticosteroids as a first-line treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

This study observes that TYK2 inhibition with BMS-986202 may extend hair follicle growth phases and decrease inflammatory cell markers in alopecia areata, suggesting potential for clinical application.

This case report presents a rare manifestation of secondary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma as erythematous macules coalescing into reticular patches on the scalp and forehead.

This case report highlights that tumid lupus erythematosus should be considered in the differential diagnosis of annular scalp lesions with non-scarring alopecia, emphasizing histopathological examination for accurate diagnosis.

This case report found that a novel botanical treatment halted disease progression and promoted hair regrowth in four patients with lichen planopilaris, indicating potential for use as a safe alternative therapy.

This study found that horizontal sections of scalp biopsies in patients with Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia often reveal follicular miniaturization, inflammation, and scarring, which can guide personalized treatment.

This study observed that pigmented casts are present in various alopecia types but are not specific to any single diagnosis, with distinct morphological features noted in trichotillomania.

This study reported that combining vertical and horizontal sectioning in scalp biopsies allows for a more thorough examination of histological changes in various types of alopecia.

Immune system changes may contribute to female pattern hair loss.

In this study, gene expression analysis of plucked hair follicles from scalp lesions was sufficient to differentiate chronic discoid lupus erythematosus from psoriasis and healthy controls, suggesting a non-invasive diagnostic potential.

This review discusses the basic principles of hair pathology and findings in common types of alopecia but reports no new research results.

This study investigated alkaline phosphatase activity in scalp biopsies from patients with alopecia areata and totalis, but provides no new conclusive clinical results.

This study reported that two male patients with diffuse unpatterned alopecia exhibited donor-area involvement in both the vertex and occiput, challenging the assumption of occipital stability for hair transplantation, and showed partial improvement following treatment with oral finasteride and topical minoxidil.

This study reports a rare case of amyloid-associated alopecia, confirmed through histologic analysis, as a scalp manifestation in a patient with primary systemic amyloidosis.

This case report describes a patient with psoriasis who developed alopecia with unique histological features after anti-TNF therapy, suggesting that such effects may require considering treatment suspension for severe cases.

This study found that scalp hair follicles had higher expression of cytokeratin 15 and distinct hair layers compared to other body regions, highlighting differences in hair follicle characteristics.

This article provides no abstract or new research findings on the androgenic pattern presentation of scarring and inflammatory alopecia.

This case study reported a 15-year-old girl with a nevus sebaceus of Jadassohn, where a secondary neoplasm potentially developed into either pigmented trichoblastoma or pigmented basal cell carcinoma, highlighting the importance of early recognition and evaluation of such lesions for effective management.
