Clinical and Trichoscopy Features in Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome: A Multicenter Retrospective Study.

Introduction: Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome (TRPS) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by trichological, craniofacial, and skeletal abnormalities. To date, limited data are available on hair involvement in TRPS, especially those focusing on trichoscopy.

Objective: We aimed to describe the epidemiology and the clinical and trichoscopy features of TRPS.

Dermoscopy of Traction Alopecia in Black Scalp Patients: Insights from a Literature Review.

Introduction: Traction alopecia (TA) is a form of hair loss from excessive tension due to specific hairstyling practices. It disproportionately affects black women, including children.

Objective: Our study aimed to review the trichoscopy of TA.

Alopecia Induced by Poly-L-Lactic Acid Injection.

Cosmetic procedures carry inherent risks of adverse events. Though rarely reported, transient and permanent alopecia are potential complications of these procedures. We report the case of a 35-year-old woman who developed pain and patches of nonscarring alopecia with erythema and edema following aesthetic application of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) on the face and along the frontal hairline.

Hair-to-Hair Trichoscopy: An Objective Method to Assess Effectiveness of Botulinum Toxin in a Clinical Trial for Androgenetic Alopecia.

Introduction: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common alopecia affecting both genders leading to a potential decrease in quality of life and self-esteem. A current concern in trichology is how to accurately measure clinical response in both daily medical practice and academic research. Hair-to-hair (H2H)-matching technology™ has recently emerged as a technique to evaluate variations in follicular units, hair shaft number, and thickness.

A Practical Algorithm for the Management of Superficial Folliculitis of the Scalp: 10 Years of Clinical and Dermoscopy Experience.

Introduction: Superficial folliculitis of the scalp (SFS) is a common complaint in clinical practice, and initial presentation may be difficult to differentiate as they may appear very similar to each other.

Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to describe the pathologies that occur clinically as folliculitis of the scalp, identify their causes and characteristics and create a standardized classification.

Methods: This is a retrospective clinical, dermoscopic and histopathological study over 10 years of dermatologic consultations.

Scalp Seborrheic Dermatitis: What We Know So Far.

Scalp seborrheic dermatitis (SSD) is a prevalent chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin disease. The etiology is related to sebum production, bacterial proliferation - sp., , and - and host immunity factors - NK1+, CD16+ cells, IL-1, and IL-8.

Female-pattern hair loss: therapeutic update.

Female androgenetic alopecia or female-pattern hair loss (FPHL) is highly prevalent and has a great impact on the quality of life. The treatment is a routine challenge in dermatological practice, as many therapeutic options have a limited level of evidence and often do not meet patients expectations. Lack of knowledge of the pathogenesis of the hair miniaturization process and the factors that regulate follicular morphogenesis restricts the prospect of innovative therapies.

Scalp Microinfusion: A Novel Drug Delivery Technique for Hair Loss Treatment.

Scalp microinfusion is a promising novel drug delivery technique for hair loss treatment. We discuss the MMP® technique and review its possible use in alopecias. MMP® technique provides a small amount of drugs delivered homogeneously into the skin combined with micro-needling and can, therefore, provide optimal delivery.
