This study found that a 1% Sandalore® solution reduced hair shedding and improved hair volume and anagen phase duration in women with telogen effluvium over 24 weeks, compared to placebo.

This case report describes a patient with secondary syphilis exhibiting distinct dermoscopic features, including moth-eaten alopecia and an erythematous background more pronounced than previously reported.

This paper proposes a theory explaining how the normal anabolic effects of androgens lead to structural changes and hair follicle miniaturization, contributing to androgenic alopecia.

This study found that girls with prepubertal simple hypertrichosis had significantly higher plasma levels of dihydrotestosterone compared to controls, which does not align with other androgen markers and warrants further investigation.

This study found that topical minoxidil 5% gel and spironolactone 1% gel were both effective treatments for androgenetic alopecia, with a combination of both providing the best clinical response and achieving 100% effectiveness among participants.

In this case study, Botulinum toxin type A injections were associated with improved hair growth and scalp condition in a patient with radiation-induced alopecia, though the mechanisms remain speculative.

This case report describes three Iranian men with gradual reddish-brown pigmentation on their cheeks and preauricular areas since childhood, unresponsive to sunblocks and topical steroids.

This article discusses alopecia areata, highlighting its autoimmune nature and the lack of FDA-approved treatments, without providing new research findings.

This letter to the editor discusses an observed case of hair repigmentation linked with etretinate therapy but reports no new research findings.

This study found that clinically non-affected perilesional scalp in Japanese alopecia patients often showed microscopic abnormalities, which may help in assessing the spread of disease activities.

The study found that balding scalps have more thin hairs and larger oil glands, which might contribute to skin conditions related to hair loss.

This case report suggests that Trichostasis spinulosa should be considered in diagnosing treatment-resistant open comedone-like lesions and that skin surface biopsy might be an effective diagnostic method.

This study found that a commercially available shampoo significantly increased hair counts and reduced hair shedding in Korean subjects with alopecia over 16 weeks.

Understanding hair follicle structure is key for treating hair disorders and could help develop new treatments.

This review examines the causes, assessment, and treatment options for hirsutism but presents no new clinical findings, highlighting the need for further research on managing this condition.

This article discusses a case of alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia, and trichostasis spinulosa, highlighting how dermoscopy can help differentiate black dots from trichostasis spinulosa lesions, but it reports no new clinical results.

This article presents a case of trichostasis spinulosa, a common but often unrecognized disorder, diagnosed through dermoscopic examination of black macules revealing bundled vellus hairs, with the patient declining treatment.

This report discusses the accurate diagnosis of atrichia with papular lesions, emphasizing its distinction from alopecia universalis to prevent unnecessary steroid treatment, and presents a case matching APL diagnostic criteria.

This study found that while both cetirizine 1% and minoxidil 5% increased hair density in men with androgenetic alopecia, minoxidil showed a significantly higher improvement, and both treatments lost effectiveness after 8 weeks without use; cetirizine was well-tolerated with no significant adverse reactions.

This study explored the immune environment of the hair follicle's bulge region and suggested that its unique signaling may prevent melanoma formation by lacking necessary proinflammatory signals for full oncogenic transformation, indicating potential strategies for melanoma prevention by replicating this immune-privileged environment.

This study describes a newly observed "inflammatory vellus involvement" pattern in early frontal fibrosing alopecia, which may lead to misdiagnosis due to the absence of typical histological features.

This study found that the modified wash test demonstrated high reliability in diagnosing and assessing the severity of androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium.

Minoxidil and 4-MA can help treat hair loss.

The document concludes that hair biology is complex and there are still unanswered questions about hair loss and follicle changes.

In this study, researchers found that a low-cost USB dermoscope can effectively detect microscopic hair changes associated with early female pattern hair loss, making it a useful tool for diagnosis even without expensive equipment or programs.

The source does not provide an abstract for this letter to the editor, so specific results regarding the long-term efficacy and safety of dutasteride for male androgenetic alopecia are not reported.

This case study reports on an 11-year-old boy with woolly hair nevus, featuring twisted hair shafts and an abnormal hair cuticle, alongside epidermal nevi on his face and back.

This case report describes two brothers with an unusual, possibly treatment-resistant inflammatory variant of androgenic alopecia, featuring follicular isthmic lymphocytic inflammation and diffuse central scalp hair loss.

This study found that a hair serum containing amla extract, freeze-dried coconut water, selenium, sandalwood odorant, and peanut shell extract significantly improved hair growth, density, and reduced hair fall after 90 days in healthy volunteers.

This study found that oral finasteride increased the total number of hairs in men with androgenetic alopecia by 55% over 2.5 years, but did not reduce the number of miniaturized vellus hairs.
