In this correspondence, researchers reported that very-low-dose oral minoxidil (0.25 mg/d) showed some effectiveness in stabilizing trichoscopic parameters in male androgenetic alopecia. However, their analysis suggests that higher doses (2.5–5 mg/d) may lead to better clinical responses with similar rates of adverse events.

This study found that using very-low-dose oral minoxidil (0.25 mg/d) led to improvement or stabilization of hair parameters in 40% to 60% of men with androgenetic alopecia, although results were not statistically significant for the overall group.

In this study, researchers examined trichoscopic features in a cohort of Black patients with alopecia areata, identifying both common and novel characteristics, but found no statistical link between these features and the severity of alopecia.

This article discusses the characteristics, diagnosis, and clinical presentation of different variants of lichen planopilaris on the scalp, with emphasis on cicatricial alopecia and the importance of clinical and trichoscopic monitoring; it presents no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers examined trichoscopic features in 80 patients with androgenetic alopecia and found that hairshaft thickness heterogeneity was the most common feature, highlighting trichoscopy as a useful, non-invasive diagnostic tool for assessing this condition.
