This study found that miniaturization of hair is present in some women with androgenetic alopecia, but diagnosis may also be based on differences in hair shaft diameter between scalp regions.

In this study, researchers observed that trichoscopy could reliably identify features such as anisotrichosis and signs associated with inflammation and fibrosis in female pattern hair loss, which may aid in assessing disease severity and guiding treatment decisions.

This study found that photoepilation using intense pulsed light significantly reduced hair growth parameters, and phototrichograms may offer an objective method to evaluate its effectiveness.

In this case study, trichoscopy was found to be a valuable non-invasive tool for diagnosing dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, enabling early detection and intervention to prevent disease progression and reduce the need for invasive procedures.

This study reported that polarized dermoscopy was better for visualizing vascular patterns, scaling, and reticular pigmentation, while nonpolarized mode better documented features like black dots and tapered hair in various hair and scalp conditions.

A new computer tool quickly measures hair thickness differences in people with common types of hair loss.

This study found that trichoscopy has limited value for diagnosing telogen effluvium, as common findings are not specific enough to differentiate it from other conditions like androgenetic alopecia.

This study reported that Asian patients have few racial differences in trichoscopy compared to Caucasian patients, except for certain features like greater mean hair diameter and masking effects by normal skin color.

This study found that optical coherence tomography provides highly reproducible and less variable measurements of hair shaft thickness compared to standard light microscopy, offering a promising noninvasive tool for clinical practice.

This report introduces Barcelona - TrichoScan as a novel software tool purported to effectively analyze hair growth in patients with androgenetic alopecia or androgenetic effluvium, but it provides no clinical data.

This case report highlights the importance of considering artefacts like artificial hair fibers during trichoscopy, as they can interfere with the accurate diagnosis of hair conditions.

This article reviews the use of dermoscopy in distinguishing temporal triangular alopecia from alopecia areata, emphasizing its role in avoiding invasive diagnostics and ineffective treatments; it reports no new clinical findings.

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.

The study suggests low-cost videomicroscopes may identify some hair shaft features but are unreliable for comprehensive scalp trichoscopy compared to standard devices, due to color and resolution limitations.

This article discusses phototrichogram education and patient satisfaction in androgenetic alopecia but reports no new clinical findings.

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 study found that the modified wash test was generally more effective than TrichoScan® for diagnosing hair loss, particularly telogen effluvium, though both methods showed only fair concordance with clinical diagnosis.

This review discusses the role of trichoscopy in diagnosing and managing various alopecia types, highlighting its ability to detect specific patterns in both scarring and non-scarring forms, thus aiding in treatment decisions and reducing biopsy necessity.

This study examined trichoscopic findings in androgenetic alopecia, reporting that hair diameter variability, vellus hairs, and the peripilar sign are valuable indicators for diagnosing this condition.

This study found that trichoscopy can effectively differentiate female pattern hair loss from chronic telogen effluvium based on specific features like hair shaft diameter variability and density differences, aiding in targeted treatment planning.

This review discusses the dermoscopic features of common hair and scalp disorders and reports no new clinical results, aiming to assist dermatologists in diagnosing conditions like tinea capitis and alopecia areata.

The study found that Temporal Triangular Alopecia often starts in early childhood, mainly affects the left side of the scalp, and has no effective treatment except surgery.

This study observed that white dots, focal atrichia, and honeycomb pigmentation on the scalp were significantly associated with the severity of androgenetic alopecia in men under forty.

This case study described the diagnosis of a trichofolliculoma in a 56-year-old woman, emphasizing its dermoscopic features and histological aspects that confirmed the tumor type, with no recurrence observed after excision.

This study applied a new RGB trichrome stain to human skin samples, revealing distinct structural staining in normal tissues and potential proteoglycan-rich zones in hair follicles.

In this retrospective study, researchers from the University of Bologna observed that trichoscopy can aid in diagnosing allergic scalp contact dermatitis, with key findings including common trichoscopic patterns of erythema, white scales, arborizing vessels, and simple red loops in 12 patients diagnosed with the condition.

This case report describes a 4-year-old boy with Netherton syndrome, where trichoscopy importantly aided diagnosis and is recommended for all children with erythroderma.

This study examined the clinical patterns and trichoscopic features of female pattern hair loss at a rural tertiary care hospital, but it does not report any specific results.

This case report describes the diagnosis of monilethrix in a 2-year-old boy using trichoscopy, highlighting its rarity and the challenge of diagnosing it without a family history.
