This chapter reviews trichoscopic features of primary cicatricial alopecias, particularly lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, and reports no new results.

This review discusses the use of trichoscopy for diagnosing alopecia and reports no new clinical results, emphasizing its role in identifying vascular and follicular features.

This report highlights that trichoscopy is a useful, non-invasive tool for diagnosing tinea capitis in children, particularly in areas where lab facilities are limited.

This simulation study found that higher cannabis exposure in a virtual population was associated with increased hair shedding severity and reduced follicular density, but these results are based on modeled data and cannot establish causal relationships.

UV-enhanced trichoscopy helps diagnose hair shaft disorders like pili annulati.

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.

In this retrospective study from Jiangsu Province Hospital, researchers reported a high prevalence of pediatric androgenetic alopecia in patients under 18, often associated with hormonal imbalances and comorbid conditions, emphasizing the need for individualized treatment plans that prioritize addressing hormonal disorders and comorbidities.

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.

Follicular red dots can appear where alopecia areata and vitiligo overlap.

This chapter details the causes and diagnostic process of pediatric alopecia, including trichoscopic findings, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report identified a new isotype of male androgenetic alopecia (inverse-MAGA) in a man successfully treated with finasteride and minoxidil, suggesting the need for future studies to evaluate this variant widely.

In this study, the researchers found that trichoscopy can effectively visualize scalp micropigmentation, identified by homogenous, grey to black circular dots similar to closely cut hair, potentially reducing the need for invasive procedures.

This study suggests that pediatric androgenetic alopecia is often associated with metabolic syndrome risk factors, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis for potential future health complications.

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 case report documents the youngest recorded instance of a linear variant of alopecia areata in a 4-year-old child, highlighting the uniqueness and rarity of this clinical presentation and noting its possible association with favorable prognosis, though further evidence is needed.

This study presents a case of a 6-month-old infant girl with hypotrichosis and an alopecic plaque in the occipital region, characterized by broken and dystrophic hairs with follicular papules and perifollicular hyperkeratosis, suggesting a diagnostic consideration.

A woman's hair loss was correctly diagnosed as Lichen planopilaris after initial misdiagnosis, highlighting the usefulness of trichoscopy in diagnosing hair disorders.

This review discusses the diagnostic features of androgenetic alopecia through trichoscopy and reports no clinical results; it emphasizes hair shaft variability and yellow dots as key indicators.

This review discusses the use of trichoscopy for diagnosing mimickers of patterned hair loss and assessing donor sites before hair transplant surgery, and reports no new clinical results.

This paper describes androgenic alopecia as a hereditary form of hair loss influenced by androgens, outlining its diagnosis, treatment options like minoxidil and finasteride, and the importance of psychological support due to its impact on quality of life.

This article reports on a family with six members diagnosed with monilethrix, highlighting varying degrees of alopecia linked to this rare hair shaft defect.

This review discusses pediatric androgenetic alopecia and reports no clinical results; the authors highlight a need for diagnostic and treatment options, suggesting further research.

In this pilot study, topical latanoprost acid was observed to increase hair count and improve hair follicle structure in women with androgenetic alopecia, with no serious adverse events, suggesting potential for further investigation to confirm its efficacy and safety.

This study reported six pediatric cases of temporal triangular alopecia and highlighted the use of trichoscopy to distinguish it by detecting a distinctive carpet of vellus hair, helping to differentiate TTA from other hair loss conditions.

This article discusses tinea capitis, highlighting its causes, symptoms, diagnostic methods, and the importance of selecting treatment based on the causal agent for effective outcomes; it reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses the advantages and different techniques of dermoscopy for skin lesion visualization and reviewing no new clinical results; it emphasizes the integration of polarized light and the importance of training.

This review compiles existing data on frontal fibrosing alopecia and highlights the promise of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors as a treatment option, while noting the need for clarity on its cause and progression.

This study examined 56 Thai patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, finding frontotemporal hairline recession and eyebrow loss were common, and reported better disease stabilization with combination treatments of topical corticosteroids with hydroxychloroquine or finasteride.

The authors discuss that hair loss affecting the occipital scalp is understudied and may be caused by factors like movement irritation and clothing occlusion; this lack of data can lead to missed diagnoses and inadequate treatment.

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.
