In this study, researchers observed that trichoscopy could reliably identify features such as anisotrichosis and signs associated with inflammation and fibrosis in female pattern hair loss, which may aid in assessing disease severity and guiding treatment decisions.

This study analyzed the features of alopecia areata incognita and diffuse alopecia areata, finding distinct patterns in hair loss regions and trichoscopic signs, and noted a benign course responsive to topical steroid therapy.

This review examines the trichoscopic characteristics of scalp DLE and LPP, correlating these findings with histopathological data, but provides no new clinical results.

A scalp biopsy is essential for accurately diagnosing alopecia, with a 4-mm punch biopsy sectioned horizontally being the recommended technique according to this study.

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.

This study reviewed 39 studies with 3204 patients to identify characteristic trichoscopic findings in alopecia areata, highlighting yellow and black dots, broken, short vellus, and tapering hairs as key indicators. It found no single diagnostic trichoscopic finding but observed trichoscopy's utility in monitoring treatment response.

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.

This systematic review concludes that trichoscopy is a reliable diagnostic tool for trichotillomania and should be incorporated into standard clinical practice for differential diagnosis.

This review describes trichoscopy features of lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, identifying distinct patterns that help differentiate the two conditions.

This study found that trichoscopy, a non-invasive diagnostic method, may effectively differentiate between types of focal alopecia in the parietal area in adult women, indicating specific trichoscopic features for conditions like alopecia areata, discoid lupus erythematosus, and lichen planopilaris.

This review from JAAD Reviews provides a comprehensive overview of hypertrichosis, discussing its diagnosis, treatment options like topical and laser therapies, and special psychosocial considerations for pediatric patients to better support clinicians and researchers in managing this condition.

In this scoping review, researchers observed that while AI-assisted trichoscopy holds promise for standardized assessments of hair and scalp disorders, its clinical translation is limited by small proprietary datasets, inconsistent validation protocols, and a scarcity of real-world clinical studies.

This paper identifies challenges in diagnosing alopecia variants, emphasizing the importance of pathologists understanding hair follicle histology, biopsy types, and collaborating with dermatologists to improve diagnostic accuracy.

In this study, baseline neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was associated with predicting early trichoscopic response in patients undergoing PRP-based treatment for non-scarring alopecia.

This article discusses the lack of information on central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia's manifestations in Black men and reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the need for further study in this population.

This review discusses recent advances in noninvasive hair imaging technologies, such as global photography, trichoscopy, reflectance confocal microscopy, and optical coherence tomography, highlighting their potential to improve hair diagnostics and treatment monitoring, while also outlining their clinical applications and limitations.

This study reports that trichoscopy and histopathology can effectively diagnose alopecia areata incognito and differentiate it from telogen effluvium or androgenetic alopecia, aiding clinicians in better hair regrowth management.

This comprehensive literature review highlighted that lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, both primary scarring alopecias, are diagnosed via scalp biopsy, with no standardized treatments available, necessitating individualized therapeutic approaches based on patient characteristics.

This article reviews seborrheic scalp dermatitis management in Italy, outlining expert recommendations on diagnosis and treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, FAPD was characterized in a Chinese population by perifollicular mast cell infiltration, suggesting young individuals may be at higher risk than previously thought.

This review discusses the etiology, pathophysiology, trichoscopic characteristics, differential diagnoses, and treatment options for scalp seborrheic dermatitis, without providing new clinical findings.

This study concluded that noninvasive imaging techniques offer potential benefits in managing scalp conditions by potentially reducing the need for biopsies and minimizing patient morbidity, each technique having unique advantages and limitations for specific conditions.

This consensus provides a framework for standardized diagnosis and treatment of alopecia areata in the Asia Pacific region, recommending specific therapies based on age and disease severity.

This article describes current advancements and future possibilities in skin imaging technology, teledermatology, and AI in dermatology, without reporting new research results.

This study evaluated 129 patients with androgenetic alopecia and identified an inflammatory pattern of perifollicular infiltration linked to treatment resistance. Targeting both hormonal and immune pathways improved outcomes for 67% of patients, suggesting inflammation may play a role in some cases of stubborn hair loss.

This review discusses the classification of lichen planopilaris and its subtypes under the proposed term "lichenoid alopecias," suggesting they exist along a clinical and histological spectrum.

This review discusses the assessment and management of common causes of pediatric alopecia, highlighting the importance of dermatologist referral for unclear diagnoses, treatment failures, or scarring alopecia, and reports no new clinical findings.

In this review, the authors detailed the clinical, trichoscopic, and histopathological features of hair disorders linked to autoimmune diseases, highlighting the role of dermatologists in identifying possible underlying autoimmune conditions in patients presenting with hair loss.

This study by a panel of 13 clinicians led to 22 consensus statements recommending approaches for diagnosing scarring and nonscarring alopecias, suggesting scalp biopsy for suspected scarring alopecias and specific serologic tests for nonscarring types like alopecia areata based on clinical presentation.

This review discusses genetic conditions linked to complete scalp alopecia in children, identifying six genetic causes, but reports no new clinical results.
