February 2023 in “Journal of Dermatological Treatment” The study developed and validated the Scalp Photographic Index (SPI), a new classification and scoring system for evaluating scalp conditions, which grades five features: dryness, oiliness, erythema, folliculitis, and dandruff on a scale of 0–3.
