This review discusses diagnostic and treatment considerations for women with cutaneous hyperandrogenism, noting therapeutic options are more effective for hirsutism and acne than for androgenetic alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

This study concluded that bleach treatment partly transforms the hydrophobic top layer of human hair cuticles into a hydrophilic surface with clustered cysteic acid, visualized at the nano-scale using dynamic Chemical Force Microscopy.

This study found that intralesional triamcinolone acetonide is effective for treating localized patchy alopecia areata, with dermoscopy aiding in early detection of clinical response and adverse effects.

In this study, certain trichoscopic features were found to be sensitive and specific for diagnosing primary cicatricial alopecias and its subtypes using dermatoscopy.

This study found that low-level laser therapy at 8 J/cm2 improved cosmetic surgical scar healing in canines after thoraco-lumbar hemilaminectomy compared to controls.
