Trichoscopy helps tell different hair loss types apart using specific scalp and hair patterns.

In this study, androgenetic alopecia patients with thin hair were found to have a higher likelihood of experiencing prostatic enlargement and related urinary symptoms compared to those with thicker hair.

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.

This study found that combining 17α-estradiol 0.01% with minoxidil 2% offered no statistically significant advantage over minoxidil alone for treating female pattern hair loss and may increase the risk of menstrual irregularities.

The document concludes that a woman has both Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and Lichen Simplex Chronicus, a previously unreported combination of conditions.

In this study, researchers identified elongated corkscrew hairs as a new trichoscopic pattern in immunosuppressed adults with chronic endothrix tinea capitis, which may help in earlier diagnosis and targeted mycological investigation.

In this study, pediatric hair and scalp disorders were effectively diagnosed using trichoscopic and light microscopic examinations, demonstrating high agreement with clinical diagnoses and emphasizing their utility as reliable, non-invasive diagnostic tools in a hospital-based setting.

In this randomized trial of Iranian men with moderate to severe androgenetic alopecia, researchers found that both finasteride and dutasteride improved hair density over 24 weeks, with dutasteride showing stronger PSA reduction but similar safety to finasteride.

This study found that trichoscopic quantitative parameters reliably indicate the severity of female pattern hair loss and complement the Sinclair scale by offering a more objective and reproducible grading system.

In this case report, a 5-year-old boy presented with an itchy patch of hair loss in the frontotemporal region, with trichoscopy revealing specific hair shaft features, such as black dots and corkscrew hairs.

This study analyzed trichoscopic features of discoid lupus erythematosus on the scalp in skin of color and found distinct patterns based on clinical morphology.

In this study, researchers investigated the alignment of trichoscopic findings with ayurvedic signs (lakshanas) for diagnosing hair loss, suggesting that integrating these perspectives could enhance diagnostics and management of hair and scalp conditions.

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.

This study found that certain trichoscopic features, including hair diameter diversity patterns, helped differentiate female androgenetic alopecia from telogen effluvium in women, suggesting their potential use in clinical diagnosis.

This study observed that following hair transplantation, patients exhibited prominent perifollicular erythema and scaling one month after surgery, whereas by six months, accentuated follicular ostia and varying hair shaft abnormalities were consistently noted.

In this prospective study, 15 patients with patchy alopecia areata treated with intralesional methotrexate every two weeks showed a significant improvement in hair regrowth and reduction in lesion severity, with changes linked to decreased tissue levels of TNF-α.

This study developed an automated image analysis framework for diagnosing hair disorders using trichoscopic images, reporting a Random Forest classifier as having an 86.67% accuracy in distinguishing between different scalp pathologies based on quantitative image features.

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.

Topical Stemoxydine improves hair density in androgenetic alopecia with few side effects.

This study reports ten cases of non-marginal traction alopecia in women with very long hair, which was improved with shorter hair cuts and topical minoxidil application.

This case series reports three novel and atypical morphological patterns of alopecia areata, termed the central sparing, paw, and punctate patterns, highlighting their importance for dermatologists in improving diagnosis and management of the condition.

This study found that fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution in Hispanic male patients often resembles androgenetic alopecia, with a tendency for earlier onset compared to European and North American populations.

This study found that oral minoxidil was associated with short-term improvements in clinical severity for androgenetic alopecia, whereas oral dutasteride did not show significant early clinical changes in the six-month follow-up.

This study observed that white dots, focal atrichia, and honeycomb pigmentation on the scalp were significantly associated with the severity of androgenetic alopecia in men under forty.

This study found that a family history of androgenetic alopecia and specific trichoscopic features are key factors in predicting female pattern hair loss, and the developed nomogram model may help improve disease management by assessing these risks.

This study found that a family history of androgenetic alopecia and specific trichoscopic signs are strong predictors of female pattern hair loss, leading to a nomogram model for risk prediction.

This study observed that while hair density generally increased after PRP-based treatments for nonscarring alopecia, the extent of improvement and associated biomarker changes varied widely among individuals.

This case study examined a 72-year-old woman with unique hair shaft constrictions consistent with monilethrix, despite features atypical for this condition, ultimately reaching a diagnosis that led to successful improvement using oral minoxidil and reduced hair trauma.

This study at the Dzerkalo Medical Center found that complex therapy for abscessing perifolliculitis of the scalp is more effective in reducing inflammation and follicle destruction compared to basic antibacterial therapy, which was associated with relapses during long-term follow-up.

In this prospective study, ritlecitinib effectively reduced hair loss in patients with severe alopecia areata, with 43.3% of participants achieving a 20 or lower SALT score by week 24, and showed a good midterm safety profile.
