5 / 940 results research High-Magnification Universal Serial Bus Dermoscopy: A Convenient Alternative to Direct Microscopic Examination
The document discussed the use of high-magnification universal serial bus (USB) videodermatoscopes as a convenient alternative to traditional direct microscopic examination for diagnosing dermatophytosis. Traditional methods required a light microscope with high-power magnification (×400), which was often impractical due to cost, size, and maintenance issues. Pocket dermatoscopes, while useful for differentiating conditions like tinea capitis and alopecia areata, lacked the necessary magnification for confirming fungal elements. USB videodermatoscopes offered a solution with ×500 magnification and a design that maintained a gap from the lens, making them a more practical and affordable option for busy skin clinics.

A user reported no improvement in hair loss after nearly a year of using 1mg oral finasteride, topical minoxidil twice daily, and weekly microneedling.
