Dermoscopy is a good, noninvasive way to see normal cat skin structures and could be useful for check-ups.

This study reviewed 39 studies with 3204 patients to identify characteristic trichoscopic findings in alopecia areata, highlighting yellow and black dots, broken, short vellus, and tapering hairs as key indicators. It found no single diagnostic trichoscopic finding but observed trichoscopy's utility in monitoring treatment response.

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

This review discusses recent advances in trichoscopy for differentiating types of alopecia and presents a systematic approach for using its diagnostic findings, but reports no new clinical results.

This review highlights that in children, hair loss can be attributed to diverse conditions like alopecia areata and tinea capitis, and stresses the importance of a holistic approach to diagnosis and management, including psychosocial support due to limited effective treatments.

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 review discusses diagnostic challenges and management approaches for pediatric hair disorders, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between acquired and congenital conditions, and reports no clinical results.

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 identified trichoscopy as a key diagnostic tool for erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp and suggested high-potency steroids or tacrolimus as effective first-line treatments.

This review summarizes recent findings on scalp involvement in pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus, highlighting diagnostic methods and their underlying histopathological, immunopathological, and clinical features, but reports no new clinical results.

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 review provides an updated overview of the symptomatology, diagnosis, trichoscopy findings, and treatment options for eyebrow and eyelash alopecia, but it reports no new experimental results.

This study observed that videodermoscopic assessments of dermatomyositis patients revealed specific vascular and pigmentary features, suggesting it may be useful for preliminary diagnosis.

The authors concluded that trichoscopic examination can be useful for diagnosing syphilitic alopecia in patients with idiopathic alopecia, though the findings are nonspecific and further studies are needed.

This review discusses the characteristic trichoscopy patterns useful in differentiating lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia from similar conditions but reports no new clinical results.

This study reports that quantitative trichoscopy, while noninvasive and convenient, provides less accurate hair density data compared to invasive histopathologic examination, which was demonstrated in a sample of adult Chinese individuals without alopecia.

This study found that in patients with alopecia areata, trichoscopy was a valuable tool for monitoring disease activity, severity, and therapeutic response, showing changes in trichoscopic markers that preceded improvements observed in the hair pull test.

In this study, researchers found significant associations between trichoscopic features and the severity of androgenetic alopecia in Korean participants, suggesting trichoscopy as a useful tool for early detection and monitoring by identifying indicators like vellus hairs and follicular unit changes.

In this study, researchers suggest that hair follicle miniaturization in conditions like androgenetic alopecia may result from impaired conversion of quiescent stem cells to progenitor cells, influenced by the follicular niche, its collagen network, and various mechanical constraints.

This review highlights the various causes and treatment options for alopecia, noting that while non-scarring types often see successful hair regrowth, scarring forms require early intervention to manage inflammatory destruction of hair follicles.

This study found that trichoscopy positively correlates with disease severity in both male and female patients with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting its usefulness in early diagnosis and assessment.

In this scoping review, researchers observed that while AI-assisted trichoscopy holds promise for standardized assessments of hair and scalp disorders, its clinical translation is limited by small proprietary datasets, inconsistent validation protocols, and a scarcity of real-world clinical studies.

Loose anagen hair syndrome in children may improve with age, but treatment results vary.

Results are not reported in this abstract, which focuses on promoting the offerings of a medical publisher in Delhi, India, including open access and print journals across various medical disciplines.

In this case study, a 3-year-old with tinea capitis achieved complete resolution following treatment, highlighting hair salons as potential indirect transmission sites for infection and emphasizing trichoscopy's diagnostic value when traditional signs like Wood’s lamp fluorescence are missing.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma therapy led to significantly increased hair growth and density compared to placebo in patients with androgenic alopecia over six months.

In this study, researchers reported that dermatoscopy effectively differentiates between various types of alopecia and scalp disorders, offering a fast, minimally invasive diagnostic method that improves the standard of care and reduces the necessity for scalp biopsies.

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.

In this study conducted from September to November 2023, researchers used trichoscopy to accurately diagnose cicatricial alopecias by revealing unique patterns, reducing the need for biopsies, and proving to be a valuable non-invasive diagnostic method.
