research Trichoscopy as a Clue to the Diagnosis of Scalp Sarcoidosis
The study reviewed clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological features of scalp sarcoidosis in two Caucasian female patients, aged 22 and 60, who presented with folliculitis-like lesions and patchy alopecia. Dermoscopy revealed decreased hair density and distinctive orange discoloration patterns, with perifollicular and follicular yellowish to pale orange spots in one case and diffuse orange discoloration with telangiectasia in the other.
