Hair and scalp disorders represent a significant area of dermatology, encompassing a wide range of conditions that affect hair growth, scalp health, and patient quality of life. These disorders may result from genetic, autoimmune, inflammatory, infectious, hormonal, or environmental factors and often have profound psychological and social impacts on affected individuals. Common conditions include androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, scalp psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, tinea capitis, and scarring alopecias. Advances in dermatological research have improved the understanding of hair follicle biology, scalp microbiome interactions, and the role of immune dysregulation in hair loss disorders. Emerging diagnostic technologies such as trichoscopy, artificial intelligence-assisted imaging, and molecular diagnostics are transforming clinical practice, while novel therapeutic approaches including biologics, regenerative medicine, stem cell therapies, and targeted treatments offer promising outcomes for patients. This session will explore the latest developments in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of hair and scalp disorders, highlighting innovative research and future directions in dermatologic care.
