June 2026 in “Current Opinion in Pediatrics” This review highlights the importance of recognizing and managing hair loss in adolescents with approaches tailored to their specific needs. Recent advancements include improved diagnostic techniques like trichoscopy and ultraviolet-enhanced follicular dermoscopy, which enhance accuracy and reduce the need for invasive tests. Androgenetic alopecia in adolescents is associated with obesity and genetics, with topical minoxidil as the primary treatment and low-dose oral minoxidil in certain cases. For alopecia areata, new severity frameworks consider factors like chronicity and psychosocial impact, and systemic JAK inhibitors show promise for sustained regrowth. Psychogenic hair loss is linked to mental health conditions such as anxiety and OCD. The review emphasizes the need for early, etiology-driven assessments and multidisciplinary care, while noting the lack of preventive strategies and long-term outcome data, which are crucial areas for future research.
