    GlossaryHoneycomb Pattern

    grid-like scalp appearance with yellow dots under dermoscopy

    The term "Honeycomb Pattern" in the context of hair and alopecia refers to a specific appearance of the scalp under dermoscopic examination. It is characterized by a grid-like arrangement of yellow dots, which are dilated hair follicles filled with keratin and sebum. This pattern is often observed in conditions like androgenetic alopecia and can help dermatologists in diagnosing and assessing the severity of hair loss.
