“…The results of this study indicate that 93% of undergraduate medical students were highly aware of the damaging effects of chronic sun exposure on the skin, whereas only 7% lacked such awareness. This finding contrasts with those of other studies, and it suggests that undergraduate medical students possess comprehensive | P a g e knowledge regarding sun exposure and its consequences [9].…”

Objective. Evaluate the expected requirement regarding family history and other doctors and care providers, end find out what the patient expected from family physicians in multi- hospitals and health care centers in the middle east. Methods. We use a cross-sectional descriptive type of study in which observe and by questioners, we collect the data from the patient attending many hospitals, and health care center. In this questionnaire we ask about 10 questions about patient expectations and if the doctor meets this need or Not and all these data are receded and analyzed using data analysis programs such as excel and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) v 20. Results. About 1461 patients are enrolled in this study most of them (91% female) the main age of the patient is about 31, and information about patient expectations was collected from 92% of the patient that enrolled in the study, skills, and information regarding care, interest listens and many other, and the problems were required Conclusions. After using the questions, we were able to follow up and document our patients who showed a great need for attention with regard to clinical interviews, and there was a noticeable lack of communication skills and the patient need for attention, prevention, and care from the health specialist or the family doctor

“…Although natural and artificial ultraviolet UV is harmful, most skin malignancies may be avoided by exposure to radiation, promoting sun safety among the general population [8,9]. The two main themes are routine sunscreen application and physical sun protection measures, such as clothes, hats, sunglasses, and a shade [8].…”

“…Empty hair follicle, another common trichoscopic finding in TE (which may also be seen in patterned hair loss), was observed in 50.8% of our cases. Also, single hair follicle, which has been previously reported in TE and patterned hair loss was seen in 43.3% of our patients [25]. Similar findings on trichoscopy have been described in case reports and small case series [10,13,19,24,26,27].…”

“…On the contrary, some studies observed absence of miniaturized hair in post COVID-19 TE [19,20]. As vellus hair are classically seen in patterned hair loss and alopecia areata, our patients with vellus hair could represent overlap of TE with patterned hair loss or alopecia areata [25].…”

Background: Severe acute respiratory virus syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was responsible for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. As patients recovered from COVID-19 infection, hair loss was increasingly observed as a distressing symptom. Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study of patients with post COVID-19 hair loss between July to December 2021 at a tertiary care centre. Detailed history, clinical examination, trichoscopy and biochemical tests were performed and recorded. COVID-19 disease severity was assessed based on duration of COVID-19 infection and place of management. Results: The study included 120 patients with mean age being 39.6 years. Majority of the patients were females, treated at home and had COVID-19 infection for >2 weeks. Mean visual analog scale (VAS) score for stress was 5.25. Vitamin D deficiency was present in 56.7% and low ferritin in 30% of cases. Mean time of onset of hair loss post COVID-19 was 49 days. Patients mainly presented with diffuse hair loss. Trichodynia was present in 15.8% of cases. The degree of hair loss was severe in 55.8% of the subjects. Positive hair pull test was seen in 65% of patients. Most common trichoscopic features included single hair follicles’ (81.7%) and vellus hair >10% (60%). Conclusions: The mean time of onset of hair loss post COVID-19 infection was less than 2 months. Majority patients had diffuse pattern and severe degree of hair loss. Trichoscopy can aid in unmasking co-existing patterned hair loss in patients presenting clinically with diffuse hair loss.

Hair and scalp disorders are of significant interest for physicians dealing with dark phototypes due to their prevalence and potential aesthetic impact resulting from a higher tendency for scarring. In order to facilitate their non-invasive diagnosis, several dermoscopic studies have been published, yet data are sparse and no systematic analysis of the literature has been performed so far. This systematic literature review summarizes published data on trichoscopy of hair and scalp diseases (trichoscopic findings, used setting, pathological correlation, and level of evidence of studies). A total of 60 papers addressing 19 different disorders (eight non-cicatricial alopecias, nine cicatricial alopecias, and two hair shaft disorders) were assessed, for a total of 2636 instances. They included one cross-sectional analysis, 20 case-control studies, 25 case-series, and 14 single case-reports, so the level of evidence was V and IV in 65% and 33% of cases, respectively, with only one study showing a level of evidence of III. Notably, although there is a considerable body of literature on trichoscopy of hair/scalp diseases, our review underlined that potentially significant variables (e.g., disease stage or hair texture) are often not taken into account in published analyses, with possible biases on trichoscopic patterns, especially when it comes to hair shaft changes. Further analyses considering all such issues are therefore needed.
