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 found that a topical solution combining 0.25% finasteride with 3% minoxidil significantly improved hair growth, as measured by hair density, diameter, and global assessment, in men with androgenetic alopecia, compared to 3% minoxidil alone, over 24 weeks without systemic adverse effects reported.

This study suggests that early initiation of treatment in fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution may lead to a more favorable outcome, as evident in some patients experiencing arrested disease progression and hair regrowth.

This case report describes significant clinical improvement in a 36-year-old male with androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis after one-year of individualized homeopathic treatment, resulting in stabilized hair fall, reduced dermatitis, and new hair growth.

This review discusses telogen effluvium, including its causes, symptoms, diagnostic methods, and treatment strategies, without presenting new clinical findings.

This letter to the editor discusses an observed case of hair repigmentation linked with etretinate therapy but reports no new research findings.

This article is a letter to the editors about a novel observation regarding chemotherapy-induced alopecia and does not include an abstract with new research results.

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.

This study consolidates information on the unique structural and functional biology of Indian hair, reporting distinct scalp microbial ecology and trichoscopic parameters, which are important for diagnosing and treating hair conditions in Indian populations.

In this retrospective observational study, researchers found that the Dean Scale showed better diagnostic accuracy than the CTCAE scale for detecting clinician-reported therapeutic responses to minoxidil in patients with anticancer therapy-induced alopecia, but both scales had limitations in recording clinically significant hair regrowth.

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.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, its similarities to lichen planopilaris, and emphasizes the need for further research due to its underdiagnosis and impact on African-descended women.

This review discusses recent advances in noninvasive hair imaging technologies, such as global photography, trichoscopy, reflectance confocal microscopy, and optical coherence tomography, highlighting their potential to improve hair diagnostics and treatment monitoring, while also outlining their clinical applications and limitations.

This case series describes seven distinct hair shaft disorders, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis since these conditions are often treated incorrectly as alopecias without improvement.

This article describes how recognizing distinct trichoscopic features aids in diagnosing various dermatological conditions and hair loss, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This article discusses methods for diagnosing and managing diffuse hair loss and reports no new results; the authors emphasize systematic evaluation and the importance of psychological support.

This case report describes a patient with psoriasis who experienced scalp hair darkening and increased growth during anti–IL-17 therapy.

This case study reports successful treatment of an 11-year-old girl's trichotillomania with cognitive behavioral therapy, mild topical treatments, and supportive parental involvement, without psychopharmacologic intervention.

This article discusses the diagnostic methods for differentiating alopecia areata from similar hair loss conditions and emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis, but it reports no new research findings.

In this review, researchers outline the characteristics of scalp rosacea, an underrecognized inflammatory dermatosis, describing its multifactorial pathogenesis, diagnostic features, and management strategies, noting its clinical similarities with facial rosacea and the absence of standardized diagnostic criteria or therapeutic guidelines.

This case study reports a rare coexistence of alopecia areata and lichen planopilaris in a 37-year-old woman and highlights the importance of targeting active scalp areas for biopsy to appropriately manage coexisting scarring and non-scarring alopecias, with distinct therapeutic priorities.

This study evaluated the effects of pumpkin seed oil and rosemary essential oil combined with electrotherapy on androgenetic alopecia in stressed young women, finding no statistically significant differences between treatment groups and suggesting further research is needed to assess the oils' efficacy.

This study describes a system called FOLLYSIS©, which uses mathematics and image analysis to optimize Follicular Unit Extraction hair transplants, showing high accuracy in measuring donor area density and reducing donor site injury.

In this case report, a woman initially misdiagnosed with rosacea was later correctly diagnosed with frontal fibrosing alopecia after further examination and treated with oral finasteride and hydroxychloroquine to stabilize her condition.

This study found that oral minoxidil may improve hair density in cancer survivors experiencing late alopecia due to chemotherapy and/or endocrine therapy, with patients tolerating the treatment well.

This study investigated a unique frontal fibrosing alopecia-like presentation of alopecia areata, finding that patients experienced an insidious, chronic course with limited scalp hair regrowth, and showed a lower response to systemic corticosteroids compared to patchy alopecia areata.

This study found that handheld dermoscopes with polarized light can be beneficial in assessing treatment success in alopecia areata by revealing changes in trichoscopic features like thinning hairs and short terminal hairs.

Among women with androgenetic alopecia, this study observed that using Jet Peel™ with JetCare® serum led to significant trichoscopic changes, high satisfaction, and good safety after five weeks, suggesting it as a viable additional treatment option.

This case report describes two patients who experienced loose anagen hairs and pili torti, resulting in nonscarring alopecia, potentially linked to erlotinib treatment for solid tumors.

In this study, 75% of alopecia areata patients showed improvement after treatment with 35% trichloroacetic acid, leading the researchers to conclude it is a safe and effective option for treating this condition.
