Correlation of Trichoscopic Findings with Severity in Androgenetic Alopecia.
Indian J Dermatol
October 2024
Department of Dermatology, Aarupadai Veedu Medical College and Hospital, Pondicherry, India.
Background: Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) refers to the appearance of common non-scarring progressive loss of terminal hair. Trichoscopy shows a magnified view of the hair shafts and hair follicle openings and helps us to diagnose, prognosticate and determine the disease severity.
Aims: The aim of the study was to identify the trichoscopic findings in patients with androgenetic alopecia and associate these findings with disease severity.
A Cross-sectional Observational Study to Correlate the Trichoscopic Findings of Female Pattern Hair Loss with the Disease Severity and Underlying Histopathological Changes.
Int J Trichology
October 2024
Department of Dermatology, HBTMC and Dr. R.N. Cooper Municipal General Hospital, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
Background: The increasing prevalence of female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is an alarming concern. Trichoscopy is an important bedside diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of FPHL, but there are very few studies correlating it with disease severity or histopathological findings which would provide a better insight to the treating clinician. Hence, we decided to take up this study.

Br J Dermatol
November 2024
Institute of Human Genetics, University of Bonn, Medical Faculty and University Hospital Bonn, Bonn, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- Monilethrix is a rare genetic hair disorder characterized by fragile hair with a beaded structure and potential keratosis pilaris or nail issues, linked to mutations in specific genes (KRT81, KRT83, KRT86 for dominant forms; DSG4 for recessive).
- This study aimed to uncover new genetic mutations in families with unexplained cases of autosomal-dominant monilethrix and to explore how these variants disrupt cell function.
- Through exome sequencing, researchers identified a significant mutation (c.1081G>T) in the KRT31 gene that affects keratin production, resulting in altered protein structure and function, confirmed through various laboratory techniques.
Halting the Progression of Cicatricial Alopecia with Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin.

Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is a chronic variant of cutaneous lupus erythematosus characterized by well-defined erythematous plaques with adherent scales and follicular plugging. The affected scalp shows erythema, edema, atrophy, alopecia, and telangiectasia. Trichoscopy of DLE shows branching capillaries, white patches, keratin plugs, reduced follicular ostia, and white dots and blue-gray dots arranged in speckles pattern.

Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol
April 2024
Department of Dermatology and Venereology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar, OD, India.
Introduction: Lichen planopilaris (LPP) and discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) are primary scarring alopecias that pose diagnostic challenges clinically, where trichoscopy features may provide benefit in delineating these two cicatricial alopecia, and also helps in assessing the evolution and therapeutic response. To date, there are few reviews on dermoscopic findings in differentiating these two alopecias.
Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using the PubMed and Google Scholar databases.
