This study is the first to describe a mixed pattern of essential syphilitic alopecia using trichoscopy, identifying features like tapered bended hairs and perifollicular hyperkeratosis in a patient without secondary syphilis symptoms.

In this study, trichoscopic examination found distinct hair characteristics for diagnosing eyebrow loss: alopecia areata is marked by features like exclamation mark hairs, while frontal fibrosing alopecia shows dystrophic hairs and distinctive regrowth patterns.

This study suggests that trichoscopy with a handheld dermatoscope may help differentiate temporal triangular alopecia from other localized alopecia by identifying specific hair features.

This review highlights the light microscopic features of various infectious and non-infectious hair conditions and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that encapsulated Garcinia mangostana Linn extract in a cream base penetrated more deeply and homogeneously into porcine ear skin compared to other formulations.

This study found that in patients with patchy alopecia areata, certain trichoscopic features like upright regrowing hairs and pigtail hairs are positive predictive markers for treatment success.

This review examines non-invasive methods for diagnosing inflammatory skin diseases like lupus erythematosus and psoriatic inflammation using samples from plucked hair and skin tape-strips, but no new clinical results are presented.

This study found that hydrophobic lipid-coated silica nanoparticles penetrated deeper into human stratum corneum compared to their hydrophilic counterparts, highlighting the influence of surface polarity on skin penetration.

In this study, trichoscopic features aiding differential diagnosis of alopecia in Korean patients were found to be similar to those in Caucasians, but pigment pattern frequencies differed due to racial characteristics.

This study reported that microparticle-loaded emulsions containing caffeic acid achieved more homogeneous distribution and prolonged release in hair follicles, suggesting potential for effective folliculitis treatment.

This study found that mesenchymal cell processes from the dermal papilla contact epithelial hair matrix cells through gaps in the basal lamina during hair matrix cell differentiation in mouse vibrissa follicles.

This report describes a case of postoperative pressure-induced alopecia in a 5-year-old girl following liver transplantation, suggesting that scalp dermatoscopy may help differentiate this condition from alopecia areata.

This study suggests that local skin inflammation may enhance the deposition of autoantibodies in the skin, potentially affecting the severity of pemphigus lesions in mice.

The authors concluded that trichoscopy is a valuable noninvasive tool for diagnosing and monitoring nonscarring alopecia, aiding in the identification of new hair signs in difficult cases.

This study found that topical application of Astragalus membranaceus extract induced hair regrowth and reduced immune response markers in mice with natural hair loss.

Sorafenib may cause hair loss in a way similar to alopecia areata.

The researchers reported that identifying specific hair shaft abnormalities is crucial for distinguishing patchy/plaque mycosis fungoides from psoriasis and eczematous dermatitis on non-scalp skin using dermoscopy.

In this study, 70 patients with alopecia areata who received intralesional triamcinolone showed a significant reduction in black dots, yellow dots, broken hair, and tapering hair, while achieving a 60% success rate in hair regrowth.

This study reviewed 39 studies with 3204 patients to identify characteristic trichoscopic findings in alopecia areata, highlighting yellow and black dots, broken, short vellus, and tapering hairs as key indicators. It found no single diagnostic trichoscopic finding but observed trichoscopy's utility in monitoring treatment response.

This study found that cutaneous cysts most frequently appeared as epidermal cysts, with unusual locations posing diagnostic challenges that required histopathological analysis for definitive diagnosis.

This report describes a rare case of alopecia areata coexisting with primary scarring alopecia, diagnosed through detailed trichoscopic investigation, highlighting the importance of comprehensive examination for accurate diagnosis.

This review examines the use of dermoscopy for diagnosing common hair disorders and highlights its importance, but it does not report new clinical results.

This thesis explored how stratum corneum barrier disruption and pH-sensitive nanoparticles influence drug penetration and release in skin models, highlighting potential applications for treating atopic dermatitis.

In this study, researchers examined trichoscopic features in a cohort of Black patients with alopecia areata, identifying both common and novel characteristics, but found no statistical link between these features and the severity of alopecia.

According to this source, wigs and hair prosthetics can enhance social confidence and quality of life for patients with alopecia, especially when other treatments fall short aesthetically, but care is needed to prevent issues like traction alopecia and contact dermatitis.

This study developed a rapid ATP assay that effectively measures microbial populations on the skin and tracks changes after microbiome dysbiosis, with findings suggesting that ethanol-cleansed skin takes longer to recover than tape-stripped skin.

Proper training is crucial for safe and effective hair extensions.

This case report describes successful treatment of Malassezia overgrowth and resulting dermatitis in a Chinchilla cat using Terbinafine HCL and Omega fatty acid supplements, emphasizing Malassezia's potential as a marker for underlying diseases.

This study found that silica nanoparticles penetrate the outer stratum corneum of human skin, with surface hydrophobization potentially enhancing this penetration.

This case report describes a 7-year-old girl who developed radiation-induced alopecia after a neurointerventional procedure, with dermoscopy revealing specific hair and scalp patterns that helped diagnose this rare complication. The findings highlight the importance of dermoscopy in distinguishing RIA from other alopecic disorders in children.
