This study compared the diagnostic effectiveness of Folliscope and Trichoscope in 100 men with androgenetic alopecia, concluding that using both methods enhances diagnostic accuracy by providing complementary insights—Trichoscope highlights patterns while Folliscope offers objective measurements.

This study examined the relationships between the Dermatology Life Quality Index and trichoscopic and clinical-anamnestic characteristics in young Ukrainian men with alopecia areata, finding varying strengths of mostly non-significant correlations, especially in those with grade I and III alopecia.

This study observed that in a series of 28 patients with different types of alopecia, specific trichoscopic markers like exclamation-mark hairs and yellow dots helped distinguish alopecia areata from conditions like lichen planopilaris and discoid lupus erythematosus, which showed follicular ostia loss and white scarring.

A deep learning model accurately detects early hair loss signs using scalp images.

This study developed a deep learning model for the automated early detection of androgenetic alopecia using trichoscopic images, and found it demonstrated high accuracy and generalizability in a Korean clinical cohort, achieving a 90% accuracy in external validation.

In this institution-based randomized trial, oral betamethasone mini-pulse therapy for alopecia areata showed a faster therapeutic response compared to oral tofacitinib, as measured by trichoscopic changes and achievement of 50% hair regrowth.

In this case study, a 74-year-old patient with frontal fibrosing alopecia displayed unique trichoscopic and histopathological features, and treatments like 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and oral minoxidil effectively halted disease progression, highlighting the importance of comprehensive facial analysis for prognosis.

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 case report, a biopsy was essential for diagnosing congenital alopecia areata despite suggestive clinical and trichoscopic evidence, as no non-invasive reliable diagnostic methods currently exist, highlighting the continued importance of this invasive procedure.

In this study, patients with Alopecia Areata showed significant clinical improvement after intralesional steroid treatment, as trichoscopic features like black dots and exclamation mark hairs decreased, while short vellus and circle hairs increased, highlighting Trichoscopy's utility in monitoring treatment response.

This study found that fractional radiofrequency microneedling may be as effective and safe as intralesional corticosteroid injections for treating patchy alopecia areata, with potentially fewer side effects.

In this study, researchers found that mogamulizumab-associated rashes and alopecia are common in patients treated for mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome and may be linked with a good treatment response.

This study observed that indigenous South Africans with natural afro-textured hair have lower hair densities, varying shaft diameters, and distinct follicular unit patterns compared to other racial groups, with significant gender differences in some parameters, highlighting the need for tailored reference values in clinical settings.

This study found both topical spironolactone and topical minoxidil to be effective and safe treatments for female pattern hair loss, with mild to marked improvement observed over six months in both treatment groups, though more side effects were noted with minoxidil.

This report describes a rare case of loose anagen hair syndrome in a young Indian child, highlighting its clinical and trichoscopic features.

This review discusses the role of trichoscopy in diagnosing and managing various alopecia types, highlighting its ability to detect specific patterns in both scarring and non-scarring forms, thus aiding in treatment decisions and reducing biopsy necessity.

This study established reference values for trichoscopic parameters of hair density and thickness in healthy Indian males, providing a foundation for future research.

This case report details a unique instance of pityriasis rubra pilaris affecting only the scalp, highlighting novel trichoscopic features and emphasizing the importance of recognizing this rare presentation for improved diagnosis and treatment.

In this study, the authors evaluated 200 Egyptian children with focal non-cicatricial alopecia, finding that alopecia areata (42%) and tinea capitis (40.5%) were the most prevalent causes. Trichoscopy identified unique features for each condition, enhancing diagnosis and management.

In this study of 374 children with patchy hair loss in Delta Egypt, researchers found that most cases were due to non-scarring causes, particularly alopecia areata, followed by infectious causes like tinea capitis; these conditions were more prevalent in school-aged children from rural areas.

This study found that individuals with early-onset androgenetic alopecia showed significant differences in metabolic parameters compared to those with normal-onset alopecia, suggesting a potential link between androgenetic alopecia and metabolic syndrome. However, the nature of this relationship remains uncertain.

This study characterizes alopecia in ARCI, highlighting its prevalence among patients with severe forms and revealing new associated trichoscopic features.

This study found that combination therapy with PRP and minoxidil led to more significant improvement in androgenetic alopecia than either treatment alone, as confirmed by trichoscopic analysis.

In this study, researchers observed that among pediatric alopecia areata patients at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang, patchy alopecia was most common, affecting 80% of cases, with frequent trichoscopic features including yellow dots, black dots, and broken hairs.

In this cross-sectional study, researchers observed that individuals with early-onset androgenetic alopecia showed significant differences in hair growth parameters and metabolic factors compared to those with normal-onset AGA, suggesting a potential association with metabolic syndrome, though more research is needed to clarify this relationship.

In this observational study, researchers found that post-COVID-19 patients with telogen effluvium experienced varying hair loss and quality of life impacts, but no clear link was observed between this hair loss and vitamin D levels or quality of life.

This study found that combining hair transplantation with PRP therapy resulted in better quality and increased growth of new hair, while also speeding up skin healing and reducing hair loss post-transplant.

This study analyzed dermoscopic findings in alopecia areata among children and adults, discovering that exclamation mark hairs are more common in children, while yellow dots appear more often in adults, indicating the importance of age-specific evaluation in diagnosing this condition.

In this study, trichoscopy was found to be an effective noninvasive tool for diagnosing female pattern hair loss at early stages, potentially eliminating the need for scalp biopsies.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma therapy may effectively improve hair density and related parameters in men with androgenetic alopecia, with results differing based on specific platelet counts.
