June 2026 in “IP Indian Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dermatology” This study from a tertiary care center in Chengalpattu involved 50 male patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and found that trichoscopic parameters, such as terminal-to-vellus hair ratios, hair shaft diameters, and hair densities, deteriorated with increasing AGA severity.
