This study found that adding low-dose oral minoxidil to standard treatment for lichen planopilaris was safe but did not significantly improve hair density or thickness, although minor hair regrowth was observed in some scarring areas.

This study found that certain trichoscopic patterns, like exclamation mark hairs, were associated with active or mild alopecia areata in Turkish patients, aiding in diagnosis and prediction of the disease.

In this study, chronic telogen effluvium was identified as the most common cause of alopecia in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, with trichoscopy proving effective in diagnosing different alopecia patterns.

This study found that trichoscopic examination is useful for diagnosing and monitoring systemic lupus erythematosus, with severe diffuse non-scarring alopecia indicating active disease.

In this study, no significant association was found between the severity of androgenetic alopecia in males and trichoscopy features such as hair diameter diversity, vellus hair, and white dots, suggesting that trichoscopy may not predict alopecia severity based on the Hamilton–Norwood scale.

Trichoscopy is a useful tool for monitoring hair and scalp diseases.

This chapter reviews trichoscopic criteria and diagnostic features for various hair and scalp conditions, emphasizing their utility in non-invasive diagnosis, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that nonscarring alopecia in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus may indicate higher disease activity, as evidenced by specific histological and immunofluorescence changes.

This review summarizes the clinical, trichoscopic, and histopathological features of alopecia types associated with cutaneous and systemic lupus erythematosus and explores their links to disease activity, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that trichoscopy can differentiate between dermatomyositis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and systemic sclerosis by identifying distinctive features and may help assess disease activity.

This study suggests that trichoscopic features, such as perifollicular erythema and cicatricial white patches, are independently associated with pruritus and the severity of frontal fibrosing alopecia.

This review presents various trichoscopic findings for diagnosing alopecia areata but reports no new clinical results, emphasizing that no single marker is pathognomonic and multiple features should be considered together.

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 case report highlights that new onset non-scarring alopecia after allogeneic stem cell transplantation may indicate chronic graft-versus-host disease.

This study highlights that dermoscopy is an essential, non-invasive tool for diagnosing and monitoring alopecia areata, with various dermoscopic patterns associated with disease severity and activity, but also emphasizes the need for improved topical therapies and standardized criteria, especially for diverse populations.

In this study, researchers characterized the clinical features of ophiasis, an uncommon type of alopecia areata, and proposed a new subtype classification that may help predict treatment response and guide management, noting that ophiasis generally has a chronic and refractory nature.

This review discusses the unique clinical features, challenges in diagnosis, and treatment protocols of frontal fibrosing alopecia in men, noting the overlap with other types of alopecia and the need for further studies.

This study evaluated dermoscopic findings in patients with different types of primary cicatricial alopecias, suggesting trichoscopy may aid in differential diagnosis by revealing abnormalities in scalp structures.

This article reviews trichoscopic techniques for diagnosing common hair loss conditions and presents a revised algorithm for identifying specific features of cicatricial and noncicatricial alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that lower GPX4 mRNA levels in polymorphonuclear neutrophils of systemic lupus erythematosus patients were negatively associated with disease activity and serological markers, suggesting a diagnostic value for GPX4 mRNA.

This study reported that trichoscopy revealed distinctive patterns across different autoimmune bullous diseases, suggesting it can be a useful preliminary diagnostic tool for differentiating these conditions.

This study observed that specific trichoscopic features like white peripilar signs, scalp pigmentation, and focal atrichia are associated with advanced female pattern hair loss in Fitzpatrick skin type III patients.

This consensus from 22 Spanish dermatologists recommends using a multimodal therapy starting with oral dutasteride, combined with topical and/or intralesional agents, and adding hydroxychloroquine if inflammation persists, to manage frontal fibrosing alopecia due to its irreversible hair loss and lack of specific approved treatments.

This review discusses the use of trichoscopy in diagnosing and managing pediatric hair and scalp disorders and reports no new experimental findings.

This article reviews the use of trichoscopy for diagnosing common hair and scalp diseases and introduces a new classification for specific skin surface abnormalities, without presenting new clinical results.

This Delphi study found that moderate-to-severe alopecia areata in Poland, Czechia, Russia, and Türkiye significantly impacts quality of life and highlights an unmet need for more effective treatments.

This review discusses various systemic diseases associated with secondary alopecia and reports no new clinical findings; it emphasizes the importance of addressing underlying conditions and using diagnostic tools like trichoscopy and histopathology.

This study observed no significant relationship between trichoscopic findings and disease severity in male or female androgenetic alopecia, despite some specific patterns correlating with different severity levels in female patients.

In this study, researchers found that trichoscopy helps detect early signs of female-pattern hair loss before it is visible, highlighting its importance for monitoring and managing the condition.

In this prospective cohort, baseline severity, disease activity, and relapse history were identified as key factors influencing response and recurrence in alopecia areata, suggesting that implementing standardized assessments could enhance risk stratification and personalized care approaches.
