Article Synopsis
- Hair loss is a significant issue in dermatology, especially for children, with common causes being alopecia areata, tinea capitis, traction alopecia, and trichotillomania, all of which can now be assessed using trichoscopy—a tool that examines hair and scalp without needing to remove any hair.
- The study evaluated 134 children, identifying distinct trichoscopic features linked to each hair loss condition, with tinea capitis showing the most unique traits, like comma-shaped and corkscrew hairs, while alopecia areata had features like yellow and black dots.
- The findings highlight trichoscopy as an effective non-invasive method for diagnosing various types of hair loss, aiding in more accurate treatment decisions.
