Trichoscopy: A Useful Tool in Diagnosing Temporal Triangular Alopecia

Temporal triangular alopecia (TTA) is a localized non-cicatricial alopecia affecting the scalp, often seen in children. Trichoscopy, a non-invasive imaging technique, is effective in diagnosing TTA by revealing distinctive patterns that differentiate it from other similar conditions like alopecia areata. This differentiation is crucial due to the differing clinical behaviors and prognoses. The report highlights trichoscopic features observed in two children with TTA, emphasizing the utility of trichoscopy in confirming TTA diagnosis without the need for invasive procedures.
