In this retrospective observational study, researchers found that the Dean Scale showed better diagnostic accuracy than the CTCAE scale for detecting clinician-reported therapeutic responses to minoxidil in patients with anticancer therapy-induced alopecia, but both scales had limitations in recording clinically significant hair regrowth.

This article updates a diagnostic tool (SALT II) for assessing hair loss by adding more precise measurements of scalp surface area, particularly useful for various types of alopecia.

This editorial proposes a new classification for alopecia areata that incorporates the SALT score and body hair involvement, aiming to improve the assessment and treatment outcomes.

This study outlines treatment options for alopecia, suggesting intralesional corticosteroids for localized adult cases and Janus Kinase inhibitors for severe cases, emphasizing a balance between hair regrowth rate and managing side effects.

This double-blinded randomized clinical trial found that combining topical vitamin D analog (calcipotriol) and intra-lesion PRP led to a greater reduction in hair loss severity in alopecia areata patients compared to either treatment alone, with significant improvements observed across all groups.
