This case report describes how trichoscopy helped diagnose tinea capitis disguised as female pattern hair loss in cases of endothrix infection, highlighting its usefulness in avoiding misdiagnosis.

In this study, hair shafts from trichothiodystrophy patients with ERCC2 mutations revealed abnormal cuticle structures and protein imbalances compared to normal hair shafts.

This study found that trichoscopy is essential for evaluating the severity of alopecia areata and predicting treatment responses, contributing to more personalized patient management.

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

In this scoping review, researchers observed that while AI-assisted trichoscopy holds promise for standardized assessments of hair and scalp disorders, its clinical translation is limited by small proprietary datasets, inconsistent validation protocols, and a scarcity of real-world clinical studies.

A deep learning model was developed to help diagnose trichothiodystrophy by analyzing hair patterns.

This small study reports that a 6-group geometric classification method is more reliable for classifying human hair curl, although a digital system could further reduce errors.

This review discusses trichotillomania, covering its characteristics, impact, and treatment options, and reports no new findings.

Trichotillomania is a condition where people repeatedly pull out their hair, which can be triggered by stress and has various physical signs.

This study concluded that exclamation mark hairs are the most reliable marker of disease activity in alopecia areata, with broken hairs, triangular hairs, and black dots also increasing the probability of active disease.

In this study, researchers found that trichothiodystrophy hair brittleness is linked to abnormalities in sulfur content and structural organization, making it prone to breakage.

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 article discusses Trikostazis spinuloza (TS), a dermatological condition often misdiagnosed, and reviews its demographic, clinical, and dermoscopic features, but reports no new clinical results.

This study identified that trichoscopy can effectively diagnose frontal fibrosing alopecia by highlighting specific scalp abnormalities in postmenopausal women.

This case report describes a 50-year-old man with folliculotropic mycosis fungoides stage IB, noting trichoscopic findings like dilated follicular openings, black dots, and dystrophic hairs, which are less commonly documented in this condition, suggesting trichoscopy could aid in early diagnosis.

This paper highlights trichodynia as a distinguishing symptom of telogen effluvium, but it does not present new clinical findings.

This study reports that scalp biopsies in white adults usually have 16.5 hair follicles, primarily in the anagen phase, with male samples showing fewer follicular units but more fibrous tracts in certain areas.

This study developed a double-wavelength laser scanning microphotometer to measure hair shaft and follicle absorbance, improving spatial resolution and reducing light scattering effects in vitro.

This study suggests that low-cost videomicroscopes may not be reliable for diagnosing hair and scalp disorders due to limitations in color quality and resolution.

This study found that 23.8% of participants with pattern hair loss had occipital involvement, with higher rates in females (35.6%) compared to males with early-stage hair loss (12.1%), illustrating significant gender differences in hair loss progression.

This review discusses the impact of chemotherapy-induced alopecia on cancer patients, the current use of scalp cooling for prevention, and potential future treatments, but presents no new clinical results.

This study observed that testosterone concentrations in hair segments show some stability over time, but are influenced by factors like sebum integration, hair washing frequency, and individual hair growth rates.

This study suggests that increased amounts of less stable disulfide conformers in hair shafts may be linked to the brittleness observed in trichothiodystrophy.

The examined study explored how trichoscopic evaluations of female pattern hair loss might relate to disease severity and histological changes, but the authors highlighted methodological issues such as unclear sample size determination and insufficient control of confounding variables, which limit the results' generalizability and reproducibility.

This review discusses diagnostic tools for scarring alopecias, emphasizing trichoscopy as a low-cost, non-invasive method for more accurate diagnosis, although it reports no new clinical results.

This article examines the emerging role of dermoscopy in skin cancer diagnosis and reports no new clinical findings; the authors highlight its potential to enhance dermatological practice.

This report discusses the characteristics of circle hairs, a type of body hair growth disorder, and emphasizes the value of trichoscopy for diagnosis.

In this study, the authors emphasize the importance of not ignoring the partial presence of comma or harpin hairs and black spots when identifying early lesions of tinea capitis, which may initially be overlooked due to their small size.

This study used a multi-point tension test method to evaluate hair damage over time and found it useful for assessing the effects of cosmetics and metal content on hair strength.
