This study suggests that lichen planopilaris should be considered as a potential diagnosis in African American women with scarring alopecia, often displaying an "arrowhead" distribution pattern, which may guide treatment strategies.

This study found that treatment modalities and patch size influence hair regrowth patterns in alopecia areata patches.

This study found that specific histologic features in skin biopsies can help support a diagnosis of traumatic alopecia (trichotillomania), but not all markers are distinct to the condition.

This study describes characteristic trichoscopic features of various hair loss diseases and proposes an algorithmic method for diagnosing them, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers identified 47 proteins associated with male pattern baldness severity and prioritized five candidate genes, including druggable CD38, suggesting new non-hormonal targets for therapeutic development.

This study describes a family where a TP63 mutation was linked with prominent alopecia and mild ectodermal dysplasia features.

This case report describes a 52-year-old woman with a rare combination of pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus on the scalp, initially misdiagnosed as psoriasis, who achieved clinical remission and hair regrowth with corticosteroid treatment.

The document concludes that using a phototrichogram with a protractor and tapeline is a reliable and noninvasive way to measure hair loss.

This study found that testosterone impacts hair follicles from different scalp regions differently in male pattern androgenetic alopecia, challenging the belief that occipital scalp follicles are androgen-insensitive.

In this case report, a 20-year-old woman exhibited progressive asymptomatic hair loss with a pattern inconsistent with alopecia areata or female pattern hair loss, showing areas of both extending and improving hair loss.

In this study, the authors compared trichoscopy findings for different forms of diffuse non-cicatricial alopecia in females and suggested that trichoscopy might often replace the need for histopathological confirmation, reserving biopsies for more uncertain cases.

Panoramic Trichoscopy is a new, better way to assess widespread hair loss.

This case report describes a young man with rapidly progressive cicatricial alopecia that shows features overlapping several other types, suggesting these conditions may exist on a spectrum.

A teenager's hair with alternating white and dark bands, known as Pili annulati, is a genetic condition that is usually harmless and often considered attractive.

In this study, researchers examined men with early-stage androgenetic alopecia and found distinct patterns of hair loss correlated with genetic and hormonal factors, noting that parietal region pattern hair loss responded better to minoxidil and micronutrient treatment compared to occipital region pattern.

This chapter reviews trichoscopic-pathologic correlations in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and reports no new clinical results; the authors discuss genetics, clinical patterns, and unusual variants associated with this condition.

This study found that yellow dots were the most common trichoscopic finding in adult patients with alopecia areata, observed in 88.5% of cases.

This review explores the trichoscopic features of dark scalp, particularly the brown honeycomb pigment network, and its variations in different types of alopecia, but it presents no new clinical findings.

In this study, trichoscopy consistently identified typical findings of frontal fibrosing alopecia, revealing three unusual clinical patterns in 18.4% of patients, which may aid in the differential diagnosis when clinical presentations are atypical.

This study observed that frontal fibrosing alopecia also occurs in men, with clinical features and areas of involvement similar to those seen in women, but often affecting sideburns and facial hair.

A man had an unusual type of hair loss that didn't match known patterns and didn't improve with treatment.

This case report found that dermoscopy, showing characteristic "comma" and "corkscrew" hairs, effectively identified tinea capitis in a 7-year-old girl, allowing for early treatment before confirmation with fungal culture.

This study observed that hair breakage may indicate early central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American women, suggesting that it should be considered in their differential diagnosis.

In this study, the authors evaluated 200 Egyptian children with focal non-cicatricial alopecia, finding that alopecia areata (42%) and tinea capitis (40.5%) were the most prevalent causes. Trichoscopy identified unique features for each condition, enhancing diagnosis and management.

This article discusses features, genetics, and diagnostic challenges of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American women but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that polycystic ovary syndrome was the most common cause of hirsutism among premenopausal women in Algeria.

This study found that male pattern baldness was associated with an increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma, particularly at the scalp.

In this study, tinea capitis was identified as the most common cause of noncicatricial alopecia in children, followed by alopecia areata and marginal traction alopecia. Diagnosis using trichoscopy enhanced understanding by revealing specific hair and scalp disorder characteristics.

This study reported that in women with pattern baldness, hormonal levels and iron deficiency were significantly associated with the condition, but trichoscopic findings were similar across different forms of female pattern hair loss.
