This letter discusses the use of serial trichoscopy versus a modified hair pull test for monitoring localized alopecia areata but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma was more effective for treating alopecia areata than topical 5% minoxidil, leading to earlier hair regrowth and reduction in hair abnormalities.

This study observed that following hair transplantation, patients exhibited prominent perifollicular erythema and scaling one month after surgery, whereas by six months, accentuated follicular ostia and varying hair shaft abnormalities were consistently noted.

This descriptive longitudinal study conducted in a Kolkata hospital found that intense pulsed light treatment significantly improved hirsutism in patients, as evaluated by trichoscopy and visual analog scores, demonstrating its effectiveness and safety for hair removal, independent of medical treatment.

This study reviewed trichoscopic images to assess hair loss, finding that ayurvedic signs (lakshanas) aligned with modern trichoscopic parameters, potentially aiding accurate diagnosis and management of hair conditions.

In this study, researchers investigated the alignment of trichoscopic findings with ayurvedic signs (lakshanas) for diagnosing hair loss, suggesting that integrating these perspectives could enhance diagnostics and management of hair and scalp conditions.

This case report describes how trichoscopy helped diagnose tinea capitis disguised as female pattern hair loss in cases of endothrix infection, highlighting its usefulness in avoiding misdiagnosis.

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

Ingrown hairs are a common feature in scarring alopecias due to follicular damage.

This study found that a family history of androgenetic alopecia and specific trichoscopic signs are strong predictors of female pattern hair loss, leading to a nomogram model for risk prediction.

In this case report, researchers describe a 44-year-old woman with refractory patch alopecia areata achieving complete hair regrowth using a multi-modal approach of systemic and topical cholecalciferol with microneedling, although systemic vitamin D repletion remains a significant confounder.

This study found trichoscopy to be a quick and effective method for diagnosing and monitoring tinea capitis in children, with improvements in trichoscopic features observed by week 2 and full recoveries confirmed mycologically by week 8.

This review describes distinct trichoscopic findings for various alopecias in individuals with skin of color, but reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that while both minoxidil and botanically-derived 5-alpha reductase inhibitors significantly increased hair count and diameter in women with female pattern hair loss, minoxidil was more effective, especially for greater hair diameter increases, but had more troublesome side effects.

In this scoping review, researchers observed that while AI-assisted trichoscopy holds promise for standardized assessments of hair and scalp disorders, its clinical translation is limited by small proprietary datasets, inconsistent validation protocols, and a scarcity of real-world clinical studies.

This study found that trichoscopic measurements of hair density and diameter are useful for assessing the severity of female pattern hair loss and its progression.

This study concluded that exclamation mark hairs are the most reliable marker of disease activity in alopecia areata, with broken hairs, triangular hairs, and black dots also increasing the probability of active disease.

This study found that in patients with alopecia areata, trichoscopy was a valuable tool for monitoring disease activity, severity, and therapeutic response, showing changes in trichoscopic markers that preceded improvements observed in the hair pull test.

This article reviews recent advancements in understanding and treating androgenetic alopecia, focusing on new genetic insights, stem cell roles, and diagnostic tools, without reporting new clinical results.

This article discusses the history taking and clinical examination process for diagnosing alopecia and outlines a diagnostic approach, noting that it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that trichoscopy revealed significant differences in certain variables, such as the brown peripilar sign and white peripilar sign, which may aid in diagnosing early and late stages of androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, researchers found that a low-cost USB dermoscope can effectively detect microscopic hair changes associated with early female pattern hair loss, making it a useful tool for diagnosis even without expensive equipment or programs.

This study suggests that 2% minoxidil and Kerium may promote hair regrowth in rats, while Aminexil showed the least effect among tested treatments; human-use products varied in efficacy in this animal model.

This study reports that quantitative trichoscopy, while noninvasive and convenient, provides less accurate hair density data compared to invasive histopathologic examination, which was demonstrated in a sample of adult Chinese individuals without alopecia.

USB videodermatoscopes are a practical and affordable alternative for diagnosing skin conditions.

This study observed that 2.5% of patients with mycosis fungoides or Szary syndrome experienced alopecia, predominantly within skin lesions, with scalp metastases from other cancers also potentially causing hair loss, highlighting the diagnostic value of trichoscopy in differentiating alopecia types.

A new tool helps better assess and treat hair loss in Chinese men.

This review outlines a systematic approach for dermatologists to accurately diagnose hair loss disorders, emphasizing the importance of differentiating between scarring and non-scarring alopecia to guide appropriate treatment decisions.

This article examines the emerging role of dermoscopy in skin cancer diagnosis and reports no new clinical findings; the authors highlight its potential to enhance dermatological practice.

This article reviews a case of alopecia triangularis temporalis, emphasizing the need for histopathological confirmation to avoid misdiagnosis and highlighting surgical correction as the preferred treatment for confirmed cases.
