This report on two Indian male siblings with monilethrix highlights trichoscopy's role in diagnosing this condition, which can be complicated by early-onset androgenetic alopecia.

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 discusses trichoscopic features of hair disorders in individuals with dark skin phototypes and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for more specific diagnostic criteria for these populations.

This study identified distinctive trichoscopic features that may aid in diagnosing loose anagen hair syndrome, such as rectangular black granular structures, solitary yellow dots, and a predominance of follicular units with single hairs.

This article discusses the potential of trichoscopy in diagnosing and treating dissecting cellulitis of the scalp and emphasizes the need for early diagnosis to prevent progression but reports no new clinical results.

This Viewpoint discusses the utility of dermoscope in routine practice and how familiarity with dynamic vs static trichoscopy may address its limitations, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This report found follicular red dots in patients with scalp pigmentary disorders, suggesting they might be linked to the scalp's vascular structure and may have implications for conditions like discoid lupus erythematosus.

This review highlights the occurrence of yellow dots, a trichoscopic finding, in several scalp conditions beyond alopecia areata and reports no new clinical results.

This study reported that trichoscopy revealed distinctive patterns across different autoimmune bullous diseases, suggesting it can be a useful preliminary diagnostic tool for differentiating these conditions.

This study found that trichoscopy aided in assessing treatment responses for patchy alopecia areata, with both intralesional corticosteroids and platelet-rich plasma showing effectiveness, but only PRP significantly improved patient symptom impact scores.

In this study, empty follicular openings and pigtail hairs were more frequently observed in children with alopecia areata compared to adults, while yellow dots were less common in children.

This study associated ivory-colored areas observed through trichoscopy with steroid deposits in the dermis among patients with steroid-induced atrophy on the scalp.

This paper introduces an algorithm for using smart device-mounted microscopes to analyze scalp images and diagnose hair loss by extracting specific hair loss features.

This study suggests that while low-cost videomicroscopes can correctly identify hair shaft alterations, they may be unreliable for detailed follicular and perifollicular trichoscopic examination compared to standard videodermatoscopes.

This study found that trichoscopy using anisotrichosis criteria was 75% sensitive and 61.54% specific in diagnosing early female pattern hair loss in women without visible hair thinning.

This review summarizes trichoscopic features for diagnosing common hair loss disorders and reports no new clinical results, emphasizing their diagnostic utility in conditions like alopecia areata and trichotillomania.

This review addresses the complexities in trichoscopy terminology and proposes an updated diagnostic flowchart for hair diseases, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This systematic review concludes that trichoscopy is a reliable diagnostic tool for trichotillomania and should be incorporated into standard clinical practice for differential diagnosis.

This study suggests that corkscrew hair could serve as a new diagnostic marker for tinea capitis and that dermoscopy might help diagnose atypical cases swiftly.

This study reviewed the usefulness of trichoscopy in diagnosing and monitoring alopecia areata, noting that the technique identifies specific hair features like yellow and black dots, which are linked to the disease's chronic nature and treatment response.

This review discusses the usefulness of trichoscopy in diagnosing and managing scalp and hair disorders, reporting it as a valuable tool for linking clinical and histological findings.

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 found a strong correlation between the Sinclair Scale and cumulative hair thickness density, allowing the estimation of the Sinclair Scale from trichoscopy-derived statistics.

This article discusses the diagnostic challenges of evaluating hair and scalp conditions in patients using hair dye, emphasizing how dyes can mimic different pathologies and lead to contact dermatitis.

This study introduced a non-invasive, three-step diagnostic algorithm for alopecia that combines clinical and trichoscopic features to accurately identify alopecia subtypes, potentially reducing reliance on invasive histopathology.

This review discusses the use of trichoscopy for diagnosing systemic diseases and concludes that certain trichoscopic features may help dermatologists suspect these conditions.

This study observed that videodermoscopic assessments of dermatomyositis patients revealed specific vascular and pigmentary features, suggesting it may be useful for preliminary diagnosis.

This study highlights the importance of recognizing artifacts in trichoscopy, as certain cosmetic products can mimic signs of early androgenetic alopecia.

This article reviews trichoscopic techniques for diagnosing common hair loss conditions and presents a revised algorithm for identifying specific features of cicatricial and noncicatricial alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, trichoscopy was used to diagnose female androgenic alopecia with 92% specificity by identifying specific hair and scalp patterns.
