TLDR Keratosis pilaris is common in young females, and dermoscopy helps diagnose it accurately.
This retrospective study of 50 patients at a tertiary care center in rural South India focused on follicular keratotic diseases (FKD), with keratosis pilaris (KP) identified as the most prevalent condition, particularly affecting adolescent and young adult females. The study utilized dermoscopy and histopathology to differentiate FKD, highlighting the importance of these non-invasive techniques in accurate diagnosis and management. Dermoscopic findings included perifollicular scaling and erythema, while histopathology confirmed hyperkeratosis and follicular dilation. The research underscores the role of dermoscopy in distinguishing KP from other similar disorders, aiding in effective treatment strategies.
