- A study was conducted in Fez, Morocco, to analyze the dermoscopic features of trichostasis spinulosa (TS) and its correlation with clinical characteristics and treatment responses among patients.
- The results showed that indicators like severe hair retention and dermoscopic blackhead-like structures were common, with a majority of patients having vellus hairs and follicular keratosis identified as orange-yellowish keratotic plugs.
- The findings suggest that dermoscopy enhances diagnosis accuracy for TS and proposes a new classification system that has therapeutic relevance, particularly emphasizing differences in treatment responses based on certain dermoscopic features.
