This case study presents a 9-month-old male infant with symptoms suggesting a likely diagnosis of Hay–Wells syndrome, including severe scalp crusting, nail abnormalities, and partial syndactyly.

Pubic hair transplantation can help women with little to no pubic hair, using scalp hair for a natural look and requires careful aftercare.

This study observed that amelanotic melanocytes from human hair follicles appeared morphologically immature, suggesting they might not transfer melanosomes into keratinocytes.

This article discusses two donor site reharvesting methods that may allow further hair restoration sessions and improve donor scar aesthetics but reports no new clinical results.

In this case report, a 5-year-old boy presented with an itchy patch of hair loss in the frontotemporal region, with trichoscopy revealing specific hair shaft features, such as black dots and corkscrew hairs.

This study found that dermoscopy showed distinctive patterns for different types of alopecia, supporting its clinical usefulness for diagnosing diseases with small round or oval hairless patches on the scalp.

This case report describes a 5-year-old boy with a solitary patch of hair loss, potentially linked to a fungal infection after antibiotic treatment showed minimal effectiveness.

This case report describes a patient with pseudopelade affecting both the scalp and beard area, highlighting the unusual presentation of a rare hair disorder.

Early diagnosis of pseudopelade of Brocq in men is crucial to prevent permanent hair loss.

This case study describes a 43-year-old Hispanic man with cicatricial alopecia of the scalp, and suggests tufted folliculitis as the most likely diagnosis.

This study reported that two male patients with diffuse unpatterned alopecia exhibited donor-area involvement in both the vertex and occiput, challenging the assumption of occipital stability for hair transplantation, and showed partial improvement following treatment with oral finasteride and topical minoxidil.

Tufted folliculitis is common in patients with folliculitis decalvans.

This study concluded that hair transplants including the parietal eminence area can enhance aesthetic balance and provide indirect cosmetic benefits, even when the vertex is left untreated due to limited donor availability.

This report describes three patients with distinct conditions who exhibited rectangular-patterned occipital alopecia areata associated with their respective medical cases.

This study reviewed scalp biopsies from African-American patients, identifying distinct features and diagnostic clues for scarring alopecia types such as traction alopecia and central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

This study identified a new variety of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia that includes patchy hair loss on the lateral and posterior scalp in African-American women, which could be misdiagnosed as traction alopecia without dermatoscopy and pathology.

In this case study, a 20-year-old man experienced progressive hair loss starting as a localized patch on the vertex of his scalp, eventually spreading in a curvilinear pattern to the sides and back.

The man has patchy hair loss likely due to alopecia areata.

This correspondence discusses eyebrow alopecia in the context of centrofacial trichoblastomatosis and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that decreased TRPS1 expression in balding dermal papilla cells may impair their signaling ability, contributing to hair follicle miniaturization in androgenic alopecia.

The authors suggest that during hair transplantation for hair loss, the parietal eminence area should be prioritized along with the mid-scalp to address future noticeable thinning, especially since this area often becomes more conspicuous over time.

This case report describes a 59-year-old woman diagnosed with frontal fibrosing alopecia, presenting with scarring alopecia and perifollicular erythematous papules.

This study reviews the use of trichoscopy in diagnosing and monitoring alopecia areata, highlighting that certain trichoscopic findings like yellow and black dots, exclamation mark hairs, and others, provide valuable insights into disease status and treatment response.

This case study suggests that trichoscopic examination of the beard can aid in diagnosing frontal fibrosing alopecia in men, especially when challenging to differentiate from androgenetic alopecia.

This study identified histologic lesions and a defect in adhesion molecules causing hair loss in mice with the bal mutation, linked to a mutation in the desmoglein 3 gene.

This study suggests that observing the acute telogen effluvium triad—frontal fringe, temporal recess, and occipital fringe—can aid in diagnosing telogen effluvium during resolution phases, despite challenges like negative pull tests.

This case report describes an 8-year-old male with tinea capitis and Trichorrhexis invaginata, who showed significant improvement after treatment with oral micronized griseofulvin.

This abstract suggests that specific trichoscopic features like black dots, coiled hair, and trichoptilosis may help differentiate trichotillomania from patchy alopecia areata.
