Trichotillomania, a disorder where people compulsively pull out their own hair, often starts around age 12, is more common in adult females, and can be treated with behavior therapy and medication.

This study reported that Trichoscan, a computer-assisted hair measurement system, was not supported as accurate for clinical trials due to errors in signal detection, despite its analysis speed.

This review discusses potential mechanisms and treatments for trichodynia, noting a lack of strong literature support and reporting no new clinical results; the authors highlight several hypotheses and available treatment options.

This study proposed a detailed classification of psychodermatosis by examining three cases that illustrate the interaction between the brain and skin, resulting in conditions like trichotillomania and factitious dermatitis.

This study found that trichoscopy was useful in diagnosing different types of alopecia, with specific trichoscopic features aiding in the differential diagnosis.

This study found that both trichoscopy and folliscopy are highly accurate for diagnosing telogen effluvium, though trichoscopy is simpler and faster to perform.

This study suggests that increased amounts of less stable disulfide conformers in hair shafts may be linked to the brittleness observed in trichothiodystrophy.

This study highlights the underexplored allergenic potential of Trichophyton rubrum, a dermatophyte, which can trigger IgE-mediated allergic reactions and a Th2 immune response shift, underscoring the need for its inclusion in diagnostic panels and further research for treating chronic mycoses and related allergies.

The trichometer accurately measures hair growth and is easy to use.

This article discusses central trichoptilosis with onycholysis but provides no new clinical results.

This study found that trichoscopic examination in patients with androgenetic alopecia revealed that hair shaft heterogeneity was common, while the white peripilar sign and focal atrichia were associated with more advanced disease stages in both genders.

This study found that both trichoscopy and folliscopy are highly accurate for diagnosing telogen effluvium, but trichoscopy is easier and quicker to perform.

This study suggests that hormonal disturbances play a role in female pattern hair loss and that trichoscopy may be a useful tool for diagnosis and differentiation from other conditions.

This study suggests that trichoscopy with a handheld dermatoscope may help differentiate temporal triangular alopecia from other localized alopecia by identifying specific hair features.
