Trichoscopy of Discoid Lupus Erythematosus in Caucasian Scalp: A Review

The review on trichoscopy of Discoid Lupus Erythematosus (DLE) in the Caucasian scalp highlights key features observed in the condition. In early stages, the absence of follicular openings and the presence of follicular keratotic plugs, yellow-brown, and red dots are noted. In chronic stages, trichoscopy reveals the absence of follicular openings, white or milky red cicatricial patches, white and brown structureless areas, and thick arborizing vessels. These findings are crucial for the diagnosis and understanding of DLE progression in the scalp.
