This case report describes a 6-year-old girl diagnosed with monilethrix, experiencing hair fragility and loss after a fever, and showing improvement in hair density following treatment, despite persistent symptoms.

This study observed that dermoscopy is a valuable tool for hair transplant surgeons to evaluate and improve the aesthetic outcomes and address technical errors in transplant procedures.

This article reviews the use of dermoscopy as a noninvasive tool for diagnosing various types of nonscarring alopecia but presents no new clinical findings.

This article provides a diagnostic guide for clinicians to differentiate between various hair shaft disorders by using a structured question-by-question approach but does not report new clinical findings.

Hair India 2012 was a successful international event focused on combating fake trichology practices and discussing various hair health topics.

Normal hair thickness varies by scalp area and a mix of hair thicknesses is typical in healthy individuals.

This article provides physician associates with an evidence-based approach to diagnosing and treating alopecia, focusing on recognizing patterns, identifying triggers, and applying targeted interventions to improve patient outcomes in hair loss.

This review suggests that hyperspectral and terahertz imaging show promise in non-invasively assessing scalp changes associated with hair loss, but further validation is needed for clinical application.

In this review, researchers outline the characteristics of scalp rosacea, an underrecognized inflammatory dermatosis, describing its multifactorial pathogenesis, diagnostic features, and management strategies, noting its clinical similarities with facial rosacea and the absence of standardized diagnostic criteria or therapeutic guidelines.

In this study, pediatric hair and scalp disorders were effectively diagnosed using trichoscopic and light microscopic examinations, demonstrating high agreement with clinical diagnoses and emphasizing their utility as reliable, non-invasive diagnostic tools in a hospital-based setting.

This study found that trichoscopic quantitative parameters reliably indicate the severity of female pattern hair loss and complement the Sinclair scale by offering a more objective and reproducible grading system.

This review found that alopecia areata is driven by an inflammatory response and highlights the need for early, individualized treatment to address both hair loss and psychiatric comorbidities, although more research is needed for long-term management strategies.

This case study reports a rare coexistence of alopecia areata and lichen planopilaris in a 37-year-old woman and highlights the importance of targeting active scalp areas for biopsy to appropriately manage coexisting scarring and non-scarring alopecias, with distinct therapeutic priorities.

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.

This review discusses diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA) as an understudied variant of androgenetic alopecia, summarizing its presentation and management while calling for further research to better understand its distinct characteristics.

In this study, trichoscopy significantly improved diagnostic accuracy in non-cicatricial alopecia, identifying alopecia areata as the most common cause and effectively aiding diagnosis in 28.2% of ambiguous cases.

In this study, researchers found significant associations between trichoscopic features and the severity of androgenetic alopecia in Korean participants, suggesting trichoscopy as a useful tool for early detection and monitoring by identifying indicators like vellus hairs and follicular unit changes.

This study found that trichoscopic parameters in male androgenetic alopecia deteriorated progressively with increasing disease severity and were significantly linked to genetic, metabolic, and psychosocial factors.

The researchers presented a rare case of a four-year-old developing scarring alopecia after a two-week ICU stay, highlighting the challenge of diagnosing pressure alopecia in children and the crucial role of early detection and trichoscopy in preventing permanent hair loss.

This study emphasized that trichoscopy and ultraviolet-enhanced follicular dermoscopy enhance diagnostic accuracy in adolescent alopecia, while systemic JAK inhibitors offer promising treatment options, reflecting the need for specialized, etiology-driven approaches and highlighting knowledge gaps in prevention and long-term outcomes.

In this study, researchers found a positive correlation between trichoscopic features and histomorphological findings, supporting trichoscopy as a valuable tool for assessing androgenetic alopecia severity and monitoring treatment outcomes.

In this study, researchers aim to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of combining plum-blossom needle tapping with ginger juice rubbing to prevent hair loss in obese women after metabolic bariatric surgery, through a randomized controlled trial involving 96 participants.

This study investigated a unique frontal fibrosing alopecia-like presentation of alopecia areata, finding that patients experienced an insidious, chronic course with limited scalp hair regrowth, and showed a lower response to systemic corticosteroids compared to patchy alopecia areata.

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 study outlined the complexities of common scalp conditions like dandruff and alopecia, emphasizing the need for comprehensive treatment strategies that include modern diagnostic techniques and address underlying factors to enhance therapy effectiveness and improve patients' quality of life.

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 identified a new dermoscopic feature, plexiform erythema, in lichen planopilaris lesions, suggesting it may indicate active disease and the potential need for more aggressive treatment.

This review highlights the various causes and treatment options for alopecia, noting that while non-scarring types often see successful hair regrowth, scarring forms require early intervention to manage inflammatory destruction of hair follicles.

This report highlights the use of trichoscopy in diagnosing tinea capitis in a 17-year-old female with systemic lupus erythematosus, revealing specific trichoscopic features like corkscrew hairs, which confirmed a fungal infection leading to successful treatment with terbinafine.

This study found that trichoscopy positively correlates with disease severity in both male and female patients with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting its usefulness in early diagnosis and assessment.
