TLDR Recognizing trichoscopic features is crucial for diagnosing various hair loss conditions.
The document discussed the role of trichoscopy in diagnosing anagen effluvium and other hair loss conditions. It highlighted the importance of recognizing trichoscopic features for differential diagnosis in dermatological diseases such as alopecia areata, pemphigus vulgaris, mycosis fungoides, and syphilitic alopecia, as well as in patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Common trichoscopic findings included empty or non-empty follicular ostia, severe reduction in hair density, and hair miniaturization. Predominant features observed were yellow dots, broken hair shafts, exclamation mark hairs, Pohl Pinkus constriction, vellus hairs, circular hairs, pig tail hairs, and changes in hair color or texture. Identifying these features was considered highly beneficial in daily clinical practice.
