“…It is a practical diagnostic, evaluative and prognostic tool in awidevariety of hair disorders as hair shaft abnormalities, genodermatotic with hair involvement, immune mediated (Tcell mediated or auto-antibody induced) inflammatory cicatricial or non-cicatricial hair disorder or alopecia, non immune mediated hair or scalp disorders like androgenic alopecia, sebborheic dermatitis, trichotillomania, traction alopecia, psoriasis, pseudonits, casts, infectious disorders like tinea capitis or tinea of hair bearing area, pediculosis and even neoplastic disorder.

Background: We reviewed the literatures focusing on trichogram and comparing it with other newly introduced trichologic diagnostic methods (to be specific trichoscopy). Methods: This is a narrative review. We searched PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE and the Web of Science for most relevant and English publications using the terms ‘trichogram’ or ‘phototrichogram’ or ‘trichoscan’ or ‘unit area trichogram’ or ‘trichoscopy’.The results were then screened by two independent reviewers and discrepancies was reviewed by another author. The text and data related to these terms were then selected out of each included study and discussed with all authors for inclusion in this study. Results: There are many hair disorders with diagnostic clues of trichogram such as Alopecia areata, Androgenic alopecia, Anagen effluvium, Telogen effluvium, Trichotillomania, Pemghigus, Psoriasis, and Loose anagen syndrome. Trichoscopy have become a widely used non-invasive practical diagnostic tool for evaluation of many immune-mediated or non-immune mediated dermatologic disorders with involvement of hair. Trichoscopy is also commonly used for following up and evaluating the therapeutic responses in affected hair-bearing area. Conclusion: Trichogram is a valuable diagnostic method for complicated hair disorders butthe trend is toward less aggressive and more sensitive informative methods like trichoscopy and trichoscan.

“…However, this varies on a case‐by‐case basis. Dermatoscopy (Figure 2) can be utilized as a method to diagnose FPHL using the criteria of variability in hair thickness (anisotrichosis) in >20% of hair follicles on the frontal scalp 19 . Scalp biopsy can be helpful although it is not usually warranted.…”

Female pattern hair loss is a common form of hair loss in women that increases in incidence with age. The etiology is unknown with numerous factors identified that influence its onset. Female pattern hair loss may be viewed as a marker for an increased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disease. New treatments include microneedling, low-level laser therapy, and autologous fat transfer. This article focuses on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, systemic associations, and current treatments for female pattern hair loss, which is the most common cause of alopecia in women.

Background Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) is an annual climber plant, and its seeds have considerable amount of oil with nutritional and medicinal importance. Aim The present study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of pumpkin seed oil (PSO) in the treatment of female pattern hair loss (FPHL) and compare its effects with minoxidil 5% foam. Methods Patients with FPHL were randomly assigned to pumpkin seed oil (n = 30; group A) or minoxidil 5% foam (n = 30; group B) for a period of 3 months. Patients were evaluated clinically and dermoscopically at baseline, at one and half months, and at the end of the 3‐month study. Results Among group A (pumpkin seed oil) candidates, a significant decrease was observed in hair shaft diversity before and after treatment (30.5 ± 6.2%, 24.0 ± 4.02, P < .001, respectively) as well as in the vellus hairs (22.5 ± 4.9, 15.8 ± 2.2, P < .001, respectively). Upright regrowing hairs significantly increased from (0.13 ± 0.5) before treatment to (0.9 ± 1.0) after treatment (P < .001). In group B (minoxidil applying) candidates, a significant decrease was observed in hair shaft diversity before and after treatment (31.5 ± 6.3%, 21.3 ± 2.2, P < .001, respectively) as well as in the vellus hairs (24.7 ± 6.4, 19.5 ± 5.4, P = .02, respectively). Conclusion Findings of the present trial provide evidence of a promising potential role of PSO in treating FPHL.
