TLDR Trichoscopic features can help dermatologists distinguish between female pattern hair loss and chronic telogen effluvium.
The study compared trichoscopic findings in female pattern hair loss (FPHL) and chronic telogen effluvium (CTE) in 40 female patients aged 30-60 years. It found that hair diameter variability, reduced hair diameter, and decreased hair density were significantly more pronounced in FPHL than in CTE. Additionally, FPHL showed higher vellus hair density and more single hair units. The presence of yellow dots was also more significant in FPHL. These trichoscopic features can help dermatologists distinguish between FPHL and CTE, aiding in better management of hair loss in female patients.
