This case report described a 12-year-old girl initially misdiagnosed with alopecia areata who showed improvement in trichotillomania symptoms after treatment with psychotropic drugs and N-acetylcysteine, highlighting the need for more research to develop standardized treatment guidelines for this chronic condition.

This article discusses trichotillomania and trichoteiromania, focusing on their clinical presentation, main trichoscopic features, and similarities in hair loss patterns but reports no new research findings.

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.

This case study observed that in a child with spontaneous trichonodosis, topical minoxidil and gentle hair care improved hair length and strength over two years, suggesting a potential genetic predisposition for the disorder.

This case study highlights how trichoscopy helped differentiate between diffuse alopecia areata and trichotillomania in an 11-year-old girl, demonstrating its importance in distinguishing hair disorders with similar presentations.

This article reviews various hair abnormalities observable through trichoscopy in conditions like monilethrix, trichorrhexis nodosa, and ectodermal dysplasias, with no new clinical findings reported.

This systematic review reports that trichoscopy is highly accurate for diagnosing scalp disorders, suggesting it as a valuable alternative to biopsies and supporting recommendations for its integration into routine dermatology practice.

In this study, researchers found that hair alterations such as frontal-occipital inversion in males and a high occipital hairline may aid in diagnosing the uncommon condition TRPS.

This case study examined a 72-year-old woman with unique hair shaft constrictions consistent with monilethrix, despite features atypical for this condition, ultimately reaching a diagnosis that led to successful improvement using oral minoxidil and reduced hair trauma.

This study found that trichoscopy is an effective method for monitoring treatment response in androgenetic alopecia when conducted by doctors experienced in hair diseases, showing excellent agreement with TrichoScan measurements for various hair parameters.

This article reviews treatment approaches for trichotillomania, emphasizing differences from OCD therapies and recommending specific management strategies, without providing new experimental findings.

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 article reviews the use of trichoscopy for diagnosing and monitoring various scalp conditions, but it presents no new experimental findings; the authors emphasize its precision in noninvasive evaluation.

In this review, the authors concluded that trichoscopy is a quick, non-invasive, and effective method for diagnosing and monitoring non-scarring alopecia, offering a more precise and faster alternative compared to other diagnostic methods for identifying and managing different types of hair loss.

This case report describes a patient with trichothiodystrophy presenting with autism, mental retardation, and seizures, characterized by distinct hair abnormalities under microscopy.

This study reviewed 78 childhood trichotillomania cases and found the scalp was the primary site for hair pulling, with comorbid psychiatric disorders present in many cases.

This systematic review reported that habit reversal training showed the most consistent benefit for treating pediatric trichotillomania, while evidence for pharmacological treatments and alternative therapies like N-acetylcysteine remains insufficient, highlighting the need for early behavioral intervention and further research into standardized treatment protocols.

This case series reported that patients with trichotillomania and pseudofolliculitis experienced improvement in itch symptoms and hair regrowth after receiving topical steroids, topical, or oral antibiotics.

This study found that trichotillomania was more common in younger people, particularly females, and was characterized by increased catagen hair without perifollicular inflammation.

In this study, the varied phenotype of trichothiodystrophy was highlighted, with findings of distinctive hair shaft abnormalities and a wide range of multisystem issues, including neurologic and urologic disorders.

This case report documents a 28-year-old woman who experienced complete scalp hair loss, which began a year earlier with patchy baldness and progressed to loss of eyebrow, axillary, and pubic hair.

This article discusses monilethrix, a rare human hair dysplasia caused by mutations in hair keratins, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that trichothiodystrophic hair shows reduced and disoriented protein deposition in follicles, with both the cuticle and cortex affected, providing localized structural insights into keratin abnormalities.

This review discusses trichotillomania's clinical features, prevalence, and treatment options, highlighting the potential benefits of behavior therapy and pharmacotherapy but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that trichothiodystrophy can be diagnosed prenatally in the second trimester using an endoscopically-guided fetal eyebrow biopsy, with sulfur content analysis being the most reliable test.

The authors report a rare case of trichilemmal carcinoma in the thigh of a 71-year-old, emphasizing the importance of complete surgical excision to prevent recurrence and support patient prognosis.

In this study, trichoscopy was diagnostically useful in 97.5% of alopecia cases at a rural Indian hospital, confirming initial diagnoses in most cases and reducing the need for invasive scalp biopsies.

This review discusses how trichoscopy is becoming a preferred non-invasive diagnostic tool over trichograms for evaluating hair disorders, although it reports no clinical results.
