In this study, the authors compared trichoscopy findings for different forms of diffuse non-cicatricial alopecia in females and suggested that trichoscopy might often replace the need for histopathological confirmation, reserving biopsies for more uncertain cases.

This case report describes a 47-year-old man diagnosed with fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, treated with clobetasol propionate and oral minoxidil while advised to avoid hair transplantation.

This article reviews the characteristics and presentation of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, a form of scarring alopecia similar to androgenetic alopecia and lichen planopilaris, but provides no new clinical findings.

This study found that trichoscopy can be a helpful, noninvasive tool for identifying specific patterns that correlate with the clinical activity and severity of alopecia areata, enhancing its diagnosis and monitoring.

This study describes a newly observed "inflammatory vellus involvement" pattern in early frontal fibrosing alopecia, which may lead to misdiagnosis due to the absence of typical histological features.

This study found that ultraviolet-induced fluorescence trichoscopy can help differentiate between scarring and non-scarring alopecia and between psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.

This review presents European expert guidelines for diagnosing androgenetic alopecia across genders but reports no new clinical findings; it emphasizes the importance of trichoscopy for differentiating similar conditions.

In this study, FAPD was characterized in a Chinese population by perifollicular mast cell infiltration, suggesting young individuals may be at higher risk than previously thought.

This study found a significant negative correlation between serum SHBG levels and androgenetic alopecia severity in women, but not in men, while no significant correlation was observed for testosterone, estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and vitamin D levels with hair loss severity across genders.

This case report illustrates that fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution may be misdiagnosed as androgenetic alopecia due to similar hair loss patterns, but distinctive trichoscopic and histopathologic features help differentiate it.

This article reviews the use of trichoscopy for differentiating mimickers of patterned hair loss and assessing donor sites in hair transplant patients, without providing new clinical findings.

This report describes a case of a 4-year-old boy diagnosed with linear alopecia areata, characterized by patchy hair loss and associated with unique hyperpigmented skin lesions.

This study reviewed 40 patients with scalp symptoms and identified a new variant of diffuse lichen planopilaris in 20 individuals, suggesting these conditions should be considered in similar cases.

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.

This study observed that among 120 patients recovering from COVID-19, severe diffuse hair loss typically began less than two months post-infection, with the majority of patients experiencing a severe degree of hair loss and positive hair pull tests, often alongside vitamin D deficiency.

This study found that trichoscopy criteria can distinguish female androgenic alopecia from chronic telogen effluvium, with specific features achieving 98% diagnostic specificity.

This study found that trichoscopy is an effective noninvasive technique for diagnosing frontal fibrosing alopecia, confirming its valuable role alongside traditional histopathological examination.

This article details the treatment of a 56-year-old woman with female pattern hair loss using finasteride and minoxidil but reports no new findings.

In this study, a 38-year-old male with syphilis-related mixed pattern alopecia showed marked hair regrowth and resolution of postauricular lymphadenopathy after treatment with benzathine penicillin, suggesting that lymph node and hair examinations, along with trichoscopy, can aid in the diagnosis of alopecia syphilitica.

Hair India 2012 was a successful international event focused on combating fake trichology practices and discussing various hair health topics.

This study found that combining Fractional Microneedling Radiofrequency (FMRF) with topical minoxidil significantly increased hair counts and density more than minoxidil alone or combined with Fractional CO2 in women with androgenic alopecia.

This study identified three genetic loci influencing hair density in East Asian populations and found associations with demographic and lifestyle factors like age, sex, and BMI. The results also suggest possible genotype-specific responses to finasteride for managing hair disorders.

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 article reviews various treatment options for diseases associated with cicatricial alopecia but reports no new clinical results.

This report presents a rare case where a bilateral ovarian thecoma in a postmenopausal woman led to an unusual pattern of female androgenetic alopecia mimicking male pattern hair loss.

This study reviews female hair loss conditions with a focus on diagnosis and treatment. It highlights female pattern hair loss as the most common form and emphasizes the need for personalized therapy, including topical minoxidil and, when appropriate, antiandrogen treatments.

This study reports a unique case of trichotillomania incognita in an adult female that mimicked female pattern hair loss, highlighting the importance of trichoscopy and histology for accurate diagnosis.

This review article reports recent advancements in understanding, diagnosing, and treating various hair loss conditions, like androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, including their genetic factors and new therapeutic options, while also examining the impact of COVID-19 on hair loss.

This discussion highlights the evolving clinical spectrum of lichen planopilaris, noting atypical features and presentations in younger males that suggest potential different pathomechanisms from previously recognized variants.

This case report highlights an unusual trichoscopic appearance in alopecia areata due to dithranol staining, which may obscure typical patterns and reveal atypical vascular features in the interfollicular spaces.
