This review discusses how dermoscopy enhances diagnostic accuracy in hair and scalp disorders, particularly distinguishing between conditions such as cicatricial and non-scarring alopecia, and offers insights into its practical uses in hair transplantation; it reports no new clinical results.

This review examines the increasing clinical applications of dermoscopy in diagnosing various skin conditions and highlights its potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary histologic confirmation.

This study suggests using a handheld dermatoscope may allow for simple and efficient differentiation of eruptive vellus hair cysts by detecting vellus hair shafts, as demonstrated in a familial case involving five women.

UV dermoscopy helps detect white hairs in children more effectively.

This review discusses trichoscopy as a noninvasive, effective technique for diagnosing various hair loss conditions and monitoring treatment, highlighting its potential to reduce scalp biopsy necessity.

This study found that most hair shaft abnormalities can be accurately diagnosed using a handheld dermoscope in a clinical setting.

This study introduced a viscoelastic dry electrode that successfully reduces motion artifacts in EP monitoring on hairy skin, maintaining stable performance for up to 48 days.

This article provides an overview of how dermoscopy can aid in the noninvasive diagnosis of various general dermatological disorders, grouped by clinical presentation, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reported that different types of alopecia have distinctive dermoscopic patterns, which aids in their diagnosis.

This article describes various hair and scalp examination techniques, including noninvasive, semi-invasive, and invasive methods, noting that trichoscopy is a simple, well-accepted, noninvasive technique for evaluating hair loss patients and monitoring treatment.

Hair loss affects 20% of people, more in men and those over 35, and is often associated with a sensitive scalp.

A nonchemical lotion was found effective in killing head lice and their eggs in most people, indicating it could be useful for managing head lice.

Trichoscopy is a helpful and quick method to identify different types of hair loss in women.

This report describes how ultraviolet-induced fluorescence dermoscopy helped accurately diagnose scalp disorders, specifically alopecia areata and tinea capitis, in pediatric patients.

This study found that combining dermoscopy with reflectance confocal microscopy is more sensitive and specific than using either method alone for assessing vitiligo disease activity and treatment response. Additionally, specific characteristics observed via these techniques correlated with either good or poor treatment outcomes.

This study found that dermoscopy combined with calcium fluorescent white staining effectively aided in the early diagnosis and treatment evaluation of tinea capitis by highlighting specific hair changes and fluorescent patterns associated with different dermatophyte infections in a sample of 20 patients.

In this study, UVFD and sUVRD techniques revealed distinctive characteristics of GD lesions, suggesting that GD might be more common in younger individuals and females than previously thought, possibly due to underdiagnosis. Incorporating dermatoscopy in exams may help improve GD detection and management.

This study found that ultraviolet light-enhanced visualization can detect subtle skin changes linked to carotene and vitamin A deficiency, which improved with dietary correction in deficient individuals.

This study observed that 62% of premenopausal women with female pattern hair loss reported improvement when treated with oral finasteride and an oral contraceptive containing drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol.

This article discusses treatments for female pattern hair loss, highlighting that oral antiandrogens and topical minoxidil can effectively arrest progression and reverse miniaturization in many patients with mild-to-moderate cases, but it reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses using cosmetic hair products alongside medical treatments for hair conditions to enhance patient self-esteem and quality of life, without reporting new clinical results.

A man with Woolly Hair Syndrome had very curly, fragile hair, and doctors used a special scalp examination to diagnose him without invasive tests.

Understanding hair structure and growth is key for diagnosing hair diseases accurately.

This paper presents an RGB video microscopic system to monitor optical properties of hair shafts and follicles in vitro, but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that dermoscopy provides additional insights for diagnosing pattern alopecia in short coated dogs, beyond what is visible through standard dermatological examination.

In this study, researchers found that dermoscopy revealed specific features in Malassezia folliculitis, such as folliculocentricity and perilesional erythema, which can aid in its identification and potentially distinguish it from acne vulgaris.

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 reports that dermoscopy can improve the diagnosis of epidermal cysts by making small puncta visible, which are often missed during standard visual examinations.
