This study introduced a non-invasive, three-step diagnostic algorithm for alopecia that combines clinical and trichoscopic features to accurately identify alopecia subtypes, potentially reducing reliance on invasive histopathology.
research Trichoscopic Patterns and Confocal Microscopy Features of Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
In this study, chemotherapy-induced alopecia in cancer patients showed specific trichoscopic patterns and abnormal hair shaft morphology, suggesting intermittent follicle damage from chemotherapy, but larger studies are needed for confirmation.
research Two different trichoscopic patterns of mid-frontal scalp in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia and clinical features of androgenetic alopecia
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.
research Trichoscopy pattern in alopecia areata: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
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.

5 / 108 resultscommunity Bought a digital microscope and found some trichoscopic anomalies
A user noticed irregularities on their scalp using a digital microscope and suspects scarring alopecia, despite using minoxidil and finasteride. Other users suggest seborrheic dermatitis as a possible cause and recommend treatments like ketoconazole shampoo, sulfur soap, selenium sulfide shampoo, and apple cider vinegar rinses.
community What hair loss pattern is this?
The user noticed small circular hairless spots after a buzz cut and has been using finasteride, dutasteride, and oral minoxidil for hair loss. They are experiencing continuous shedding and thinning, and it is suggested they consult a dermatologist for a scalp examination and possible biopsy to determine if it's alopecia areata or androgenetic alopecia.
community 8 months fin, 1 year min, is it working or below baseline 20m, diffuse+retro/all over pattern. Switch to dutasteride?
The user is considering switching from finasteride and minoxidil to dutasteride for better hair regrowth results, as they are experiencing thinning and shedding despite current treatments. They have also tried microneedling, Clobetasol, and salicylic acid to manage scalp issues and inflammation.
community M25: Getting way too many DMs, so let’s do this here! AMA about Male Pattern Baldness, Hair Loss, and Products (100% Science-Backed )
Finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil are discussed as treatments for male pattern baldness. Finasteride and dutasteride are effective DHT blockers, while minoxidil is necessary for regrowth but must be used consistently.
community Doctor told me not to take fin.
A doctor advised against taking finasteride after a hair transplant, suggesting the patient had reached their final balding pattern, but many users disagreed, recommending medications like minoxidil and finasteride to prevent further hair loss. The consensus was to seek a second opinion, as the advice seemed financially motivated rather than medically sound.
