In this study, researchers evaluated trichoscopic features in 500 Egyptian patients with patchy hair loss and found specific patterns, such as perifollicular scale with 90% sensitivity and 99.5% specificity, which effectively aid in diagnosing primary cicatricial alopecias.

This case report describes a 14-year-old female with tufted hair folliculitis, where isotretinoin reduced inflammation and exudation but persistent hair tufting remained, highlighting the challenges in treating this rare condition.
