This study found that dermoscopy is effective for distinguishing Tinea Capitis from Alopecia Areata by identifying unique trichoscopic features specific to each condition.

This case report highlights the importance of trichoscopy in diagnosing fibrosing alopecia in pattern distribution, distinguishing it from female pattern hair loss, and guiding effective treatment.

This study concluded that intralesional lyophilized growth factor injections are safe and improve trichoscopic hair parameters and clinical scores in patients with female pattern hair loss.

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.

This study suggests that trichoscopy may assist in diagnosing pemphigus, particularly for scalp-specific lesions, by identifying certain characteristic features.

This paper introduces an algorithm for using smart device-mounted microscopes to analyze scalp images and diagnose hair loss by extracting specific hair loss features.

This study suggests that diffuse alopecia areata initially involves an intense inflammatory attack during the anagen phase, progressing through different hair cycle stages with specific shedding patterns.

In this study, androgenetic alopecia patients with thin hair were found to have a higher likelihood of experiencing prostatic enlargement and related urinary symptoms compared to those with thicker hair.

This study found that among women with frontal fibrosing alopecia, 100% showed dermoscopic elements suggestive of the condition, with perifollicular erythema often indicating disease activity.

This case study reports a man with rapid hair thinning, whitening, and sparse beard, linked to an increased proportion of hair follicles in catagen or telogen phase and peribulbar lymphocytic infiltrate.

In this case report, researchers describe a 44-year-old woman with refractory patch alopecia areata achieving complete hair regrowth using a multi-modal approach of systemic and topical cholecalciferol with microneedling, although systemic vitamin D repletion remains a significant confounder.

In this study, five out of six patients treated with vemurafenib for metastatic melanoma experienced hair loss, which improved after topical steroid treatment.

This study suggests that IL-33 promotes hair follicle changes and T cell infiltration in psoriatic mice and humans, contributing to psoriatic alopecia.

This study found that, in female patients with pattern hair loss, injections of adipose-derived stem cells increased hair density and thickness, reduced perifollicular inflammation, and enhanced markers associated with hair cycle regeneration.

Trichoscopy helps diagnose and manage different types of hair loss effectively.

This report describes how ultraviolet-induced fluorescence dermoscopy helped accurately diagnose scalp disorders, specifically alopecia areata and tinea capitis, in pediatric patients.

A man with Woolly Hair Syndrome had very curly, fragile hair, and doctors used a special scalp examination to diagnose him without invasive tests.

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.

This study reviews various causes of hair loss in midlife women, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis due to the overlapping features of different types of alopecia and suggesting a comprehensive approach that includes detailed history, scalp examination, and sometimes biopsies or blood tests.

This study found that trichoscopic parameters in male androgenetic alopecia deteriorated progressively with increasing disease severity and were significantly linked to genetic, metabolic, and psychosocial factors.

In this randomized trial of Iranian men with moderate to severe androgenetic alopecia, researchers found that both finasteride and dutasteride improved hair density over 24 weeks, with dutasteride showing stronger PSA reduction but similar safety to finasteride.

This study observed that in a series of 28 patients with different types of alopecia, specific trichoscopic markers like exclamation-mark hairs and yellow dots helped distinguish alopecia areata from conditions like lichen planopilaris and discoid lupus erythematosus, which showed follicular ostia loss and white scarring.

This article discusses the utility of trichoscopy in distinguishing hair disorders with similar clinical appearances but 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.

Hair disorders need a holistic approach, including medical, cosmetic, and psychological support.

This review describes distinct trichoscopic findings for various alopecias in individuals with skin of color, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that trichoscopy can diagnose genetic hair shaft abnormalities without plucking or cutting hair, by visualizing characteristic features in a single session.

This paper proposes a systematic approach to evaluating scalp itch using the SCALLP acronym and highlights the importance of classifying cases based on the presence of dermatological lesions and hair loss, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This article introduces a new grading system called the FPHL Severity Index to better identify and monitor early stages of female pattern hair loss using clinical criteria.

This study reports that women receiving periodic injections of botulinum toxin type A for forehead wrinkles may experience frontal alopecia, with progressive hairline recession observed in the cases studied.
