ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
By magnifying the scalp and structure of hair, trichoscopy enables easy differentiation among various hair loss diseases.OBJECTIVE:
To measure the frequency of representative trichoscopic findings in outpatients with androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata and the frequency of various trichoscopic findings depending on the disease severity of androgenetic alopecia.METHODS:
This cross-sectional study included 87 patients with androgenetic alopecia (n=57) and alopecia areata (n=30) treated over a year (2014∼2015). Three dermatologists assessed the trichoscopic findings (hair shaft, hair follicle opening, and perifollicular epidermis) in these patients.RESULTS:
Vellus hair was observed in 21 of the 30 patients (70%) with alopecia areata and 20 of the 57 patients (35%) with androgenetic alopecia. Among the patients with androgenetic alopecia, as the disease severity increased, the portion of patients with vellus hair, thickness heterogeneity, and honeycomb pigmentation also increased (p<0.05).CONCLUSION:
Trichoscopy is very useful for the diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata. Additionally, the severity of androgenetic alopecia can be assessed using trichoscopy.
