This study found that hair loss is common among urban market traders in Nigeria, with a higher prevalence in women and linked to hair care practices like braiding and chemical relaxing.

This study suggests that hormonal disturbances play a role in female pattern hair loss and that trichoscopy may be a useful tool for diagnosis and differentiation from other conditions.

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.

In this study, trichoscopy was diagnostically useful in 97.5% of alopecia cases at a rural Indian hospital, confirming initial diagnoses in most cases and reducing the need for invasive scalp biopsies.

This study found that trichoscopy is a valid and sensitive tool for diagnosing and evaluating eyebrow involvement in lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia.

In this observational study, hair density was found to vary with age, as measured in subjects from a dermatology outpatient department, with males showing a mean unit density of 104.78 and females 108.36.

This observational study found that trichoscopy is a reliable tool for diagnosing various hair and scalp disorders, with common findings observed for different types of alopecia.

In this study, trichoscopy was found to enhance the early assessment of minoxidil therapy in males with pattern hair loss, leading to improved satisfaction and treatment compliance by revealing positive changes visible within one month.

The examined study explored how trichoscopic evaluations of female pattern hair loss might relate to disease severity and histological changes, but the authors highlighted methodological issues such as unclear sample size determination and insufficient control of confounding variables, which limit the results' generalizability and reproducibility.

In this retrospective study, researchers from the University of Bologna observed that trichoscopy can aid in diagnosing allergic scalp contact dermatitis, with key findings including common trichoscopic patterns of erythema, white scales, arborizing vessels, and simple red loops in 12 patients diagnosed with the condition.

In this study, researchers documented several trichoscopic features that were statistically significant indicators of alopecia and scalp disorders compared to healthy controls.

In this study, researchers found that hair alterations such as frontal-occipital inversion in males and a high occipital hairline may aid in diagnosing the uncommon condition TRPS.

The researchers reported that baricitinib treatment for at least 52 weeks reduced severe alopecia areata severity and improved psychological well-being and quality of life in study participants.

This study examined the clinicopathologic and trichoscopic characteristics of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans and identified terminal hair involvement and follicular hyperkeratosis as key diagnostic features.

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 study reported that in women with pattern baldness, hormonal levels and iron deficiency were significantly associated with the condition, but trichoscopic findings were similar across different forms of female pattern hair loss.

In this correspondence, researchers reported that very-low-dose oral minoxidil (0.25 mg/d) showed some effectiveness in stabilizing trichoscopic parameters in male androgenetic alopecia. However, their analysis suggests that higher doses (2.5–5 mg/d) may lead to better clinical responses with similar rates of adverse events.

This study found that the main causes of diffuse hair loss in adult women were female pattern hair loss, telogen effluvium, chronic telogen effluvium, and a combination of female pattern hair loss with telogen effluvium.

This letter discusses congenital triangular alopecia (TTA), a non-scarring hair loss condition often seen in children, without reporting new clinical findings.

This study found that using very-low-dose oral minoxidil (0.25 mg/d) led to improvement or stabilization of hair parameters in 40% to 60% of men with androgenetic alopecia, although results were not statistically significant for the overall group.

This study found that combining a potent steroid with a vitamin D analogue may offer more convenient treatment for localized alopecia areata than using a superpotent steroid alone, with comparable efficacy but fewer side effects.

This study reports three cases of alopecia areata resistant to corticosteroids that improved after 16 weeks of treatment with a combination of fractional carbon dioxide laser and topical tacrolimus, suggesting a potential new therapeutic option that requires further confirmation.

In this study, both fractional carbon dioxide laser therapy and cryotherapy were found to be effective and safe for treating patchy alopecia areata, showing similar efficacy in improving hair growth compared to untreated control patches.

This study found that trichoscopy can confirm the diagnosis and assess the clinical severity of female androgenetic alopecia, correlating specific features with different severity grades.

This study found that a topical solution combining 0.25% finasteride with 3% minoxidil significantly improved hair growth, as measured by hair density, diameter, and global assessment, in men with androgenetic alopecia, compared to 3% minoxidil alone, over 24 weeks without systemic adverse effects reported.

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 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.

This study found that after treatment with platelet-rich plasma, male androgenetic alopecia patients showed significant improvements in hair count, hair diversity, and reduction in certain dermoscopic features.

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

This study found that for treating androgenetic alopecia, LC hair essence serum injections provided excellent results with fewer side effects compared to botulinum toxin A, which also showed significant efficacy but with higher associated costs and more frequent side effects.
