This chapter details the causes and diagnostic process of pediatric alopecia, including trichoscopic findings, but reports no new clinical results.

This review reports no new clinical results but discusses fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution as a distinct scarring alopecia with characteristics of both androgenetic alopecia and lichen planopilaris.

This review discusses trichoscopy as a noninvasive, effective technique for diagnosing various hair loss conditions and monitoring treatment, highlighting its potential to reduce scalp biopsy necessity.

In this study, trichoscopy was found to be a valuable non-invasive tool for diagnosing scalp lesions, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and reducing the need for scalp biopsies by identifying specific trichoscopic features associated with conditions like psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and alopecia areata.

This case report describes a 47-year-old man diagnosed with fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, treated with clobetasol propionate and oral minoxidil while advised to avoid hair transplantation.

This study outlines treatment strategies for autoimmune alopecia areata, detailing that while mild cases may resolve on their own, severe cases often require intervention, with new JAK inhibitors like baricitinib and ritlecitinib emerging as promising treatments for those not responding to traditional therapies.

This review focuses on treatment options and safety for various types of pediatric alopecia, providing no new clinical findings; the authors highlight the need for early diagnosis and intervention.

This review discusses the evolution and potential of non-invasive imaging techniques for diagnosing scalp diseases, highlighting their advantages and limitations compared to trichoscopy and scalp biopsy, the current diagnostic standards.

This case study describes a patient initially misdiagnosed with pediculosis capitis, later identified as having trichotillomania, highlighting the importance of thorough behavioral inquiries by physicians in such cases.

This review suggests that hyperspectral and terahertz imaging show promise in non-invasively assessing scalp changes associated with hair loss, but further validation is needed for clinical application.

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 review outlines a systematic approach for dermatologists to accurately diagnose hair loss disorders, emphasizing the importance of differentiating between scarring and non-scarring alopecia to guide appropriate treatment decisions.

This study reports that subtle presentations of lichen planopilaris may be mistaken for seborrheic dermatitis in patients with androgenetic alopecia, highlighting the importance of dermatoscopy-guided biopsy for accurate diagnosis.

In this case study, trichoscopy was found to be a valuable non-invasive tool for diagnosing dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, enabling early detection and intervention to prevent disease progression and reduce the need for invasive procedures.

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 characterized the clinical features of ophiasis, an uncommon type of alopecia areata, and proposed a new subtype classification that may help predict treatment response and guide management, noting that ophiasis generally has a chronic and refractory nature.

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 report details a case where diffuse lichen planopilaris and female pattern hair loss in a 32-year-old woman mimicked diffuse alopecia areata, highlighting the diagnostic value of dermoscopy-guided biopsies and the importance of timely treatment to prevent disease progression.

This study found that trichoscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing various hair disorders by identifying specific trichoscopic patterns, such as hair diameter diversity in androgenetic alopecia and exclamatory marks in alopecia areata.

This study found that trichoscopy is crucial for distinguishing lupus erythematosus-specific alopecia from alopecia areata, leading to more accurate diagnoses and better outcomes for patients.

This study found that ultraviolet-induced fluorescence trichoscopy can help differentiate between scarring and non-scarring alopecia and between psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.

This review discusses the clinical and trichoscopic features of lichen planopilaris and notes its potential underdiagnosis prior to hair transplant, but it reports no new findings.

This continuing medical education article outlines the comprehensive approach needed to diagnose alopecia, emphasizing the importance of a thorough history, scalp and hair examination, and, if necessary, laboratory analysis and biopsy for effective treatment planning.

This review discusses diagnostic strategies for pediatric hair loss, emphasizing the importance of thorough examinations and dermoscopy for accurate diagnosis, and reports no new research findings.

This consensus from 22 Spanish dermatologists recommends using a multimodal therapy starting with oral dutasteride, combined with topical and/or intralesional agents, and adding hydroxychloroquine if inflammation persists, to manage frontal fibrosing alopecia due to its irreversible hair loss and lack of specific approved treatments.

The EADV Task Force on Hair Diseases reviewed existing literature and clinical experience to propose diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations for managing folliculitis decalvans, highlighting oral antibiotics, glucocorticosteroids, isotretinoin, and various systemic and topical therapies as key options for managing inflammation and preventing further hair loss.

This article discusses the uses and techniques of trichoscopy for hair and scalp disorders and reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that trichoscopic features, such as perifollicular erythema and cicatricial white patches, are independently associated with pruritus and the severity of frontal fibrosing alopecia.

This article describes various hair and scalp examination techniques, including noninvasive, semi-invasive, and invasive methods, noting that trichoscopy is a simple, well-accepted, noninvasive technique for evaluating hair loss patients and monitoring treatment.

This study suggests that RCM may be a promising non-invasive diagnostic tool for alopecia areata incognita, showing substantial agreement with histopathology while noting some discrepancies.
