This article reviews the use of dermoscopy as a noninvasive tool for diagnosing various types of nonscarring alopecia but presents no new clinical findings.

This article discusses how the balding scalp's exposure to UV and near-infrared light may accelerate aging, with changes detectable under ultraviolet light; it presents no new clinical findings.

This abstract presents supplementary materials illustrating trichoscopy in alopecia areata and scarring alopecia using different dermoscopy techniques but reports no clinical findings.

This study examined the dermoscopic features of five patients with tuberous sclerosis and found that dermoscopy can differentiate characteristic cutaneous features from similar conditions, potentially aiding in earlier diagnosis when other symptoms are subtle or absent.

This study found that a peripilar white gray halo around hair emergence is a highly specific and sensitive dermatoscopic feature for diagnosing central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American patients with mild central thinning.

This article discusses isotretinoin for severe acne vulgaris, noting its effectiveness but also highlighting significant side effects on skin, mucous membranes, and hair; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that horizontal sections of scalp biopsies in patients with Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia often reveal follicular miniaturization, inflammation, and scarring, which can guide personalized treatment.

This report describes a case of postoperative pressure-induced alopecia in a 5-year-old girl following liver transplantation, suggesting that scalp dermatoscopy may help differentiate this condition from alopecia areata.

This study suggests that the presence of more than six vellus hairs in the frontal scalp at 20-fold magnification can be an additional criterion for diagnosing early female pattern hair loss.

This article introduces teletrichoscopy as a method for diagnosing hair disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic and reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses potential benefits of increasing active range of motion in the care of venous leg ulcers but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, Arab hair was found to have a higher thickness and lower density compared to other ethnicities, suggesting these factors should be considered in diagnosing and treating hair issues in Arabs.

This study found that proretinal nanoparticles, applied topically, are safe and effective for penetration into hair follicles, enhancing retinoid biological activity in the skin while reducing irritation compared to conventional retinal formulations.

This study found that combining photobiomodulation with topical minoxidil did not produce additional hair growth benefits in males with androgenetic alopecia compared to using minoxidil alone.

This study found that repetitive 532 nm laser therapy significantly decreased scores for macules, pigmented, and vascular lesions on the facial area, regardless of skin phototype or age.

This study concluded that a combination of three specific dermoscopy features provides the highest diagnostic value for distinguishing actinic keratosis from other facial lesions.

This analysis concludes that while dermoscopy can aid in diagnosing tinea capitis, further research is needed to establish its independent diagnostic validity.

In this study, researchers reported that dermatoscopy effectively differentiates between various types of alopecia and scalp disorders, offering a fast, minimally invasive diagnostic method that improves the standard of care and reduces the necessity for scalp biopsies.

This article presents a new method using dermoscopy to evaluate the severity and treatment effectiveness of androgenetic alopecia in men by capturing images of specific scalp regions.

In this study, hair follicle effacement was identified as a key dermoscopic feature of cicatricial alopecia, and dermoscopy proved useful in distinguishing cicatricial from non-cicatricial alopecias.

This study found that ultraviolet-induced fluorescence dermoscopy enhanced the identification of follicular openings in alopecia areata, potentially aiding in the assessment of disease severity and treatment strategies.

In this study, researchers used advanced four-dimensional optical imaging techniques to observe changes in skin afflicted with acne, finding increased epidermal thickness, keratinized hair follicles, inflammation, and aggregated blood flow, helping to distinguish between inflammation and reparative phases of acne progression.

This study developed a high-resolution phototrichogram system that can automatically and accurately assess hair growth metrics in cosmetic trials, achieving over 90% correlation with manual measurements.

Trichoscopy is a useful tool for diagnosing hair and scalp disorders.

This systematic review evaluated 60 studies on trichoscopy in hair and scalp disorders, revealing gaps in accounting for variables like disease stage or hair texture, and underscoring a need for more comprehensive analyses to fully understand trichoscopic patterns.

This article reviews trichoscopic techniques for diagnosing common hair loss conditions and presents a revised algorithm for identifying specific features of cicatricial and noncicatricial alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers used trichoscopy to establish standardized findings for normal hair and scalp characteristics in 360 healthy males, noting significant age-related differences in hair diameter variability and identifying potential pathological indicators like colored dots and scarring not present in healthy individuals.

This study found that the Antera 3D® system provided an objective and sensitive method for assessing pediatric pathological scars, capturing significant changes in pigmentation, vascularity, and volume, compared to the traditional Vancouver Scar Scale and dermoscopy, which showed varied sensitivities across different scar parameters.

This study found that dermoscopic indicators like black dots and tapering hairs are valuable markers for diagnosing and assessing the severity and activity of alopecia areata in Asian patients.

This study found that trichoscopy criteria can distinguish female androgenic alopecia from chronic telogen effluvium, with specific features achieving 98% diagnostic specificity.
