“…A total of 13 cases of pseudopelade of Brocq with trichoscopic description were available from the literature (five case-control studies [ 8 , 10 – 12 , 53 ] and one single case-report [ 61 ]). Loss of follicular ostia was a constant finding, while other common features included white dots (eccrine openings) and cicatricial white patches (both observed in 46% of cases) as well as and perifollicular scales (39% of cases).…”

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.

“…Histopathology of PPB is often nondiagnostic but includes evidence of scarring, an absence of inflammation, minimal follicular plugging, and columns of fibrosis [59,60]. There is often a perifollicular lymphocytic infiltrate confined to the upper two-thirds of the hair follicle [61]. Management of PPB is difficult, with a poor response to intralesional and systemic steroids.…”

“…Management of PPB is difficult, with a poor response to intralesional and systemic steroids. Treatment with oral hydroxychloroquine, isotretinoin, or mycophenolate mofetil can improve the condition with varying results [61]. There is no consensus on treatment, and clinicians should trial the above-mentioned medications in an attempt to achieve remission in this disease with often unpredictable prognosis.…”

Facial hair is an important social and psychologic aspect of clinical appearance for men. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the causes of alopecia of the beard including the prevalence, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and treatment. In this review, we highlight more common causes of beard alopecia including alopecia areata and pseudofolliculitis barbae, infectious causes such as tinea barbae and herpes simplex folliculitis, and rare causes including dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis and frontal fibrosing alopecia. This review serves as an important resource for clinicians when faced with patients suffering from beard alopecia.

Alopecia is comorbid with several illnesses, including various autoimmune conditions such as thyroid disease. Leukocyte-mediated inflammation of hair follicles in alopecia was first described over a century ago. However, the high prevalence of the role of thyroid autoimmune disease in the pathogenesis of alopecia has only recently come to light, together with a strong association between the two. Therefore, this review focuses on articles published between 2011 and 2022 on alopecia's association with thyroid autoimmune disease, and the mechanism behind it. In addition, it highlights the link between alopecia and thyroid cancer, as patients with alopecia have increased risk of thyroid cancer. In conclusion, this comprehensive, focused, scoping review will serve as a reference highlighting recent information on alopecia, exploring its association with thyroid autoimmune diseases.
