Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the use of dermoscopy to distinguish pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) from psoriasis, particularly when traditional biopsies are impractical, especially in children.
- - Researchers analyzed the dermoscopic features of 28 patients (16 with PRP and 12 with psoriasis) using polarized dermoscopy to capture images and identify key visual patterns.
- - Key findings reveal that PRP commonly shows central hairs and yellow/orange halos around follicles, while psoriasis is marked by dotted vessels and white scales, highlighting distinct dermoscopic features for diagnosis.
Bimatoprost is a prostamide analogue used for treatment of glaucoma in ophthalmology. Surprisingly, the side effects such as increased pigmentation of eyelids and hypertrichosis in patients being treated with prostaglandin analogues for glaucoma have opened new areas of application in various dermatological disorders such as alopecia mainly affecting eyelashes, eyebrows, and vitiligo.

Dermoscopy is a noninvasive method that allows the in vivo evaluation of microstructures not visible to the naked eye.
Objective: To ascertain the role of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with microneedling, and to compare the pre- and post-treatment dermoscopic features in androgenetic alopecia.
Background: Dermoscopy devices can overcome the refractive properties of stratum corneum by interface medium or cross polarization such that the lesion can be easily seen.
Aim: To examine the dermoscopic feature in alopecia areata and correlate the severity of disease with dermoscopic features.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective analysis of 72 patients suffering from alopecia areata (AA), irrespective of age and sex, who visited the dermatology outpatient department of a tertiary care center in Eastern India was carried out.
