This review discusses the use of videodermoscopy in evaluating scalp and hair disorders, highlighting its potential to improve diagnostic accuracy without the need for invasive biopsies, but notes that further prospective studies are needed.

This study observed that videodermoscopic assessments of dermatomyositis patients revealed specific vascular and pigmentary features, suggesting it may be useful for preliminary diagnosis.

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, trichoscopy was used to diagnose female androgenic alopecia with 92% specificity by identifying specific hair and scalp patterns.

This study found that androgenetic alopecia was the most common cause of frontal hairline recession in Egyptian female patients, supporting the use of trichoscopy as a noninvasive diagnostic tool.

Sorafenib may cause hair loss in a way similar to alopecia areata.

In this experimental study, there was no impact of the surrounding ferromagnetic film on the magnetization reversal processes in submicrometric antidot arrays, though a significant increase in coercivity was observed.

This study observed that male and female androgenetic alopecia share similar trichoscopic characteristics, such as hair shaft thickness heterogeneity and increased thin and vellus hairs.

In this study, a single application of autologous cellular micrografts showed short-term favorable responses in up to two-thirds of patients with androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, trichoscopic examination revealed that patients with androgenetic alopecia had significantly more yellow dots, pilosebaceous units with one hair, and increased perifollicular hyperpigmentation compared to healthy controls.

In this study, 70 patients with alopecia areata who received intralesional triamcinolone showed a significant reduction in black dots, yellow dots, broken hair, and tapering hair, while achieving a 60% success rate in hair regrowth.

This study found that RCM combined with dermoscopy can differentiate disease states between alopecia areata, tinea capitis, nevus sebaceous, and linear scleroderma of the scalp by identifying distinct dermal and follicular patterns.

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 concluded that exclamation mark hairs are the most reliable marker of disease activity in alopecia areata, with broken hairs, triangular hairs, and black dots also increasing the probability of active disease.

This study reviewed 39 studies with 3204 patients to identify characteristic trichoscopic findings in alopecia areata, highlighting yellow and black dots, broken, short vellus, and tapering hairs as key indicators. It found no single diagnostic trichoscopic finding but observed trichoscopy's utility in monitoring treatment response.

This study identified two distinct trichoscopic patterns in the mid-frontal scalp of patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia who also display clinical features of androgenetic alopecia.

This review summarizes the main trichoscopic findings for diagnosing common hair and scalp disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This review examines the use of dermoscopy for diagnosing common hair disorders and highlights its importance, but it does not report new clinical results.

This comment discusses the use of 'follicular Swiss cheese' as a diagnostic feature for alopecia areata and does not report new clinical findings.

This study identified key dermoscopic markers such as yellow dots, black dots, broken hairs, and coudability hairs, which were associated with a poorer prognosis in alopecia areata patients.

Recognizing specific scalp patterns can help diagnose hair loss linked to breast cancer spread.

This study found that in patients with alopecia areata, trichoscopy was a valuable tool for monitoring disease activity, severity, and therapeutic response, showing changes in trichoscopic markers that preceded improvements observed in the hair pull test.

This study found that trichoscopy is a useful tool in differentiating between alopecia areta and trichotillomania on the eyebrows based on distinct hair and follicle features.

This study found that yellow dots, black dots, exclamation mark hairs, broken hairs, and nail changes observed through dermoscopy are related to the severe form of alopecia areata.

This study found that short vellus hair and yellow dots are common dermoscopic findings in alopecia areata, with variations indicating disease activity or remission.

This study found that yellow dots were the most common trichoscopic finding in adult patients with alopecia areata, observed in 88.5% of cases.

This observational study found that trichoscopy is a reliable tool for diagnosing various hair and scalp disorders, with common findings observed for different types of alopecia.

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

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

Trichoscopy helps tell different hair loss types apart using specific scalp and hair patterns.
