specific patterns seen in hair and scalp under magnification
Trichoscopic features refer to the specific patterns and characteristics observed in hair and scalp when examined under a trichoscope, a specialized magnifying device. These features help dermatologists diagnose various hair and scalp conditions, such as alopecia, by revealing details like hair shaft abnormalities, follicular openings, and scalp pigmentation that are not visible to the naked eye.
