Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Diagnostics will focus on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of hair disorders. Hair disorders can have a significant impact on patients' quality of life, and this Special Issue aims at providing an overview of current and emerging approaches in the field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, novel therapeutic interventions such as excimer laser for hair loss conditions and emerging treatments for psoriatic alopecia. We will also explore the paradoxical role of medications such as dupixent in triggering or exacerbating conditions like alopecia areata. Furthermore, submissions detailing diagnostic techniques, innovative management strategies, and comprehensive reviews of specific hair disorders are encouraged. This Special Issue aims at consolidateing the latest advancements, offering valuable insights for clinicians and researchers dedicated to improving patient outcomes in hair disorders.
