The girl's "dandruff" was actually harmless hair casts, not a hygiene issue.

This case report highlights a 34-year-old woman with traction alopecia, where diagnosis was clarified by the presence of peripilar keratin sheaths, a useful dermoscopic clue.

This study found that peripilar signs on the scalp are linked to perifollicular lymphocytic infiltrates in early androgenetic alopecia, detectable even in areas with high hair density.

This study found that a peripilar white gray halo around hair emergence is a highly specific and sensitive dermatoscopic feature for diagnosing central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American patients with mild central thinning.

This paper discusses the use of dermatoscopy as a fast, noninvasive technique for diagnosing hair shaft disorders and reports no new results; the authors highlight its advantages over traditional microscopy methods.
