Two women with very high androgen levels had only slight skin issues, one due to a non-classical adrenal disorder and the other due to an adrenal tumor.

The document concludes that treatments for female hair loss and excessive hair growth are temporary and not well-studied.

The patient with total hair loss did not regrow hair despite treatment, indicating a poor outlook for this type of hair loss.

Congenital Triangular Alopecia is a rare, non-scarring hair loss that can be surgically treated in females for cosmetic reasons.

FAGA diagnosis uses blood tests and trichoscopy, with treatments like topical minoxidil, oral anti-androgens, and hormone-modulating drugs.

Scalp biopsies from dermatomyositis patients show chronic hair loss without scarring, with mucin and blood vessel changes being very common.

Higher testosterone and DHT levels are linked to hair loss in men, but not to prostate cancer risk.

Peripilar signs can help diagnose androgenetic alopecia and reveal its cause.

Scarring alopecia affects different hair follicle stem cells than nonscarring alopecia, and the infundibular region could be a new treatment target.

Erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp is a type of skin inflammation often confused with other conditions, requiring continuous treatment.

Correct skin biopsy techniques are crucial to avoid misdiagnosis of skin diseases.

Transverse scalp sections are better for diagnosing non-scarring hair loss, while vertical sections are better for a specific scarring hair loss called lichen planopilaris.

The most effective way to diagnose non-scarring hair loss is by transverse sectioning, and some cases, particularly in males with inflammation around hair follicles, might be curable.

The research found specific signs to diagnose alopecia areata incognito and noted patients generally regrow hair after steroid treatment.

The study found unique skin changes in a rare type of alopecia linked to a skin condition called linear morphea.

Aging alone rarely causes significant hair loss; hormones are a bigger factor.

A scalp biopsy is essential for accurately identifying different types of hair loss.

Special and immunohistochemical stains are not routinely needed for diagnosing hair disorders.

Using both vertical and transverse sections gives a better diagnosis of alopecia than using one method alone.

Transverse scalp biopsies are more accurate for diagnosing non-cicatricial alopecia, but examining both types is best for accuracy.

Transverse sections are better for non-scarring hair loss, vertical sections are better for lichen planopilaris, and either method works for other scarring hair loss types.

Using both vertical and transverse sections for alopecia biopsies improves diagnosis without extra cost.

Horizontal scalp biopsy sections are better for diagnosing alopecia areata, showing fewer hair follicles and more miniaturized hairs.

Cutting scalp biopsies in consecutive slices improves diagnosis of hair loss conditions.

Both vertical and transverse sections are useful for diagnosing alopecia, but using both methods together is best.

Vertical sections are better than horizontal sections for diagnosing alopecia.

The study found that the cause of alopecia areata can be identified through tissue analysis, and vertical sections are enough for diagnosis.

The HoVert technique is a simple, cost-effective new method that improves alopecia diagnosis by allowing detailed analysis from a single biopsy.

The study found that horizontal sections of scalp biopsies are better for analyzing hair loss, showing fewer hairs and more fine hairs in balding areas.

The document concludes that new methods improve the accuracy of diagnosing scalp alopecia and challenges the old way of classifying it.
