In this study, trichoscopy was diagnostically useful in 97.5% of alopecia cases at a rural Indian hospital, confirming initial diagnoses in most cases and reducing the need for invasive scalp biopsies.

This study found that adults with trichotillomania or skin picking disorder experienced significantly poorer sleep quality, which was linked to various factors including age, stress, distress tolerance, impulsivity, and comorbid mental disorders.

This letter discusses the use of serial trichoscopy versus a modified hair pull test for monitoring localized alopecia areata but reports no new clinical results.

This case report diagnosed a 4-year-old girl with trichotillomania after observation of her twirling and pulling her hair at the affected site.

This study reports a unique case of trichotillomania as a presenting sign in a patient with neurological Wilson's disease, confirmed by genetic testing and copper abnormalities.

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.

This study presents a microscopic analysis of the pruritic variant of trichostasis spinulosa in two patients and reviews existing literature, reporting no new clinical results.

This review outlines current treatment strategies for trichotillomania, noting that while cognitive-behavioral therapy is effective, N-acetylcysteine and memantine are also recommended due to their safety and efficacy, though evidence for other drugs like fluoxetine and naltrexone remains limited.

A girl with red hair developed hair-pulling and body image disorders after being bullied for her hair color.

This study confirms that scalp hair follicles in Chilean subjects exhibit seasonal variations, with a higher percentage of follicles in the telogen (resting) phase during the summer compared to the winter.

This case study reports successful treatment of an 11-year-old girl's trichotillomania with cognitive behavioral therapy, mild topical treatments, and supportive parental involvement, without psychopharmacologic intervention.

In this study, chemotherapy-induced alopecia in cancer patients showed specific trichoscopic patterns and abnormal hair shaft morphology, suggesting intermittent follicle damage from chemotherapy, but larger studies are needed for confirmation.

This study found that the HairCheck® device, demonstrating high correlation between its Hair Mass Index and hair characteristics such as strand number and diameter, may be an effective tool for assessing hair mass changes in alopecia patients.

In this study conducted from September to November 2023, researchers used trichoscopy to accurately diagnose cicatricial alopecias by revealing unique patterns, reducing the need for biopsies, and proving to be a valuable non-invasive diagnostic method.

This report on two Indian male siblings with monilethrix highlights trichoscopy's role in diagnosing this condition, which can be complicated by early-onset androgenetic alopecia.

This case report highlights a rare instance of gastric trichobezoar, or "Rapunzel syndrome," associated with trichotillomania, characterized by hair accumulation in the stomach of a patient.

This study observed that the keratinization pattern of trichilemmal cysts in two Japanese women may originate from the proliferation of the outer root sheath in the follicular isthmus of anagen hairs.

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.

This case report describes trichothiodystrophy in two sisters with only hair fragility, illustrating the condition's variable presentation and the importance of regular monitoring for potential associated impairments.

This report describes a case of trachyonychia with associated various types of lichen planus in a young male, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis for effective treatment.

This case report highlights a small bowel obstruction from hair ingestion in an African American woman, emphasizing the need for cultural awareness of Black hairstyles in trichotillomania and trichophagia.

This review discusses Chrousos syndrome, a rare condition caused by NR 3C1 gene mutations leading to glucocorticoid resistance, and reports no new clinical results; early identification and genetic testing are recommended for diagnosis.

This pilot study detailed the use of Hair-to-Hair-matching technology™ in a clinical trial to assess botulinum toxin's efficacy in treating male androgenetic alopecia, providing a precise method for evaluating hair count and thickness changes over time.

In this study, the authors compared trichoscopy findings for different forms of diffuse non-cicatricial alopecia in females and suggested that trichoscopy might often replace the need for histopathological confirmation, reserving biopsies for more uncertain cases.

This study found that mimicking the XPD point mutation in mice resulted in trichothiodystrophy-like symptoms, supporting the role of basal transcription and DNA repair defects in the disease.

This case report diagnosed an 8-year-old girl with trachyonychia and secondary onychomycosis, finding that spontaneous improvement is common, making specific therapy often unnecessary despite treatment challenges with associated fungal infections.

In this case report, a patient with trichotillomania showed a significant positive response to treatment with N-acetylcysteine, suggesting its potential effectiveness for this disorder according to the authors’ observations.

This review discusses the dermoscopic features of common hair and scalp disorders and reports no new clinical results, aiming to assist dermatologists in diagnosing conditions like tinea capitis and alopecia areata.

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.
