This study found that dermoscopy-guided scalp biopsies provided a definitive pathological diagnosis in 95% of patients with cicatricial alopecia.

In this study, hair follicle effacement was identified as a key dermoscopic feature of cicatricial alopecia, and dermoscopy proved useful in distinguishing cicatricial from non-cicatricial alopecias.

This study identified a new dermoscopic feature, plexiform erythema, in lichen planopilaris lesions, suggesting it may indicate active disease and the potential need for more aggressive treatment.

This report details a case where diffuse lichen planopilaris and female pattern hair loss in a 32-year-old woman mimicked diffuse alopecia areata, highlighting the diagnostic value of dermoscopy-guided biopsies and the importance of timely treatment to prevent disease progression.

This Viewpoint discusses the utility of dermoscope in routine practice and how familiarity with dynamic vs static trichoscopy may address its limitations, but it reports no new clinical findings.
