Trichoscopy as a Method of Differential Diagnosis of Non-Scarring Hair Loss and Papulo-Squamous Disorders of the Scalp

The document reports on a study that evaluated trichoscopy as a diagnostic tool for distinguishing between non-scarring hair loss and papulo-squamous scalp disorders in 30 patients aged 19-55. Trichoscopy, using the Aramo-SG model at magnifications of x20 and x60, confirmed the clinical diagnosis in 93.3% of cases and led to a change in diagnosis in 6.7% of cases. The study concluded that trichoscopy is a valuable addition to routine patient examinations for hair and scalp disorders, offering significant diagnostic advantages over traditional clinical examination.
