This study describes a distinct pattern of trichoscopic features associated with chemotherapy-induced alopecia and how these features evolve through different phases of chemotherapy treatment.

In this study, trichoscopic features aiding differential diagnosis of alopecia in Korean patients were found to be similar to those in Caucasians, but pigment pattern frequencies differed due to racial characteristics.

This article discusses the causes, diagnosis, and treatment options for female pattern hair loss, emphasizing the role of topical minoxidil as a primary treatment, but provides no new clinical results.

In this study, trichoscopy was used to diagnose female androgenic alopecia with 92% specificity by identifying specific hair and scalp patterns.

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 case report describes a 50-year-old man with folliculotropic mycosis fungoides stage IB, noting trichoscopic findings like dilated follicular openings, black dots, and dystrophic hairs, which are less commonly documented in this condition, suggesting trichoscopy could aid in early diagnosis.

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

This review assessed trichoscopic findings in folliculotropic mycosis fungoides of the scalp, reporting features like milky-red globules and distinct vascular patterns, but noted the predominance of small studies and the need for larger research to validate trichoscopy's diagnostic utility for this condition.

This chapter reviews trichoscopic criteria and diagnostic features for various hair and scalp conditions, emphasizing their utility in non-invasive diagnosis, but reports no new clinical results.

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 hospital-based cross-sectional study, researchers found that alopecia is more prevalent in younger patients, with alopecia areata and lichen planopilaris being the most common types among noncicatricial and cicatricial cases, respectively; additionally, thyroid abnormalities were frequently associated with both types of alopecia.

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.

In this study, tinea capitis was identified as the most common cause of noncicatricial alopecia in children, followed by alopecia areata and marginal traction alopecia. Diagnosis using trichoscopy enhanced understanding by revealing specific hair and scalp disorder characteristics.

This study found that trichoscopy is a valuable diagnostic tool for identifying hair loss patterns in women and can help avoid scalp biopsies in unclear cases.

This study found that, among 100 patients with alopecia areata, the most prevalent subtype was patchy alopecia areata, with characteristic trichoscopic features including black dots, yellow dots, and empty hair follicles.

This source discusses the characteristics and clinical presentation of androgenetic alopecia, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and grading for administering therapy and the role of trichoscopy in diagnosis and monitoring treatment response.

This study observed that trichoscopic patterns, such as yellow dots and honey comb patterns, correlate with the severity of androgenetic alopecia in Indian patients, highlighting trichoscopy's diagnostic and prognostic value.

This case report highlights how trichoscopy enabled the diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia in a woman experiencing diffuse hair loss, emphasizing its utility as a diagnostic tool.

In this study, trichoscopic examination revealed that variations in hair diameter were more common in certain types of alopecia affecting the frontal scalp, suggesting the importance of evaluating the entire scalp for accurate diagnoses, although limitations include a single center design and small sample size.

This article introduces a new grading system called the FPHL Severity Index to better identify and monitor early stages of female pattern hair loss using clinical criteria.

This report found follicular red dots in patients with scalp pigmentary disorders, suggesting they might be linked to the scalp's vascular structure and may have implications for conditions like discoid lupus erythematosus.

This review addresses the complexities in trichoscopy terminology and proposes an updated diagnostic flowchart for hair diseases, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This report describes a case of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution in a postmenopausal woman, highlighting its distinction from other forms of lichen planopilaris and pattern hair loss.

This case report describes how trichoscopy helped diagnose tinea capitis disguised as female pattern hair loss in cases of endothrix infection, highlighting its usefulness in avoiding misdiagnosis.

This case study suggests that trichoscopic examination of the beard can aid in diagnosing frontal fibrosing alopecia in men, especially when challenging to differentiate from androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that female pattern hair loss was highly prevalent among a multiracial Brazilian population, affecting over 30% of women, and age was a significant risk factor.

Trichoscopy can detect early signs of steroid overuse on the scalp, suggesting a need for non-steroidal treatments.

This study found trichoscopy to be a highly sensitive, non-invasive method for diagnosing tinea capitis in children, which could be valuable in resource-limited settings lacking mycological culture facilities.

This review explores recent insights into the causes, clinical features, diagnosis, and comprehensive treatments of female-pattern hair loss, emphasizing the importance of trichoscopy and highlighting approaches like nutritional correction and various therapies including low-intensity lasers and PRP.

This study observed an unexpected case where a 44-year-old woman developed linear scalp pigmentation, resembling a tattoo, after undergoing a microneedling procedure followed by hair dyeing two days later, emphasizing the need to advise patients on avoiding hair dye application soon after such treatments.
