    Glossary Black Dots

    remnants of broken hair shafts seen in hair loss

    Black Dots refer to a clinical sign observed in certain types of hair loss, particularly in conditions like alopecia areata and tinea capitis. They are remnants of hair shafts that have broken off at the scalp surface, appearing as small, dark spots when viewed under magnification. These dots are indicative of active hair follicle damage and can help dermatologists diagnose the underlying cause of hair loss.
