research Clinical presentation and dermoscopic features of alopecia areata patients
This study investigated the clinical and dermoscopic profiles of 100 alopecia areata (AA) patients, with an average age of 24.5 years and a male-to-female ratio of 1.2:1. The patchy type of AA was most common, primarily affecting the scalp. Nail pitting was the most frequent nail abnormality, and severe AA was significantly associated with nail changes. Dermoscopic analysis revealed patterns such as black dots, broken hairs, and yellow dots, with yellow dots showing a positive correlation with AA severity. The study concluded that AA predominantly affects younger individuals, with dermoscopy providing valuable insights into diagnosis and severity assessment.

research Alopecia areata: Dermatoscopic differences between pediatric and adult patients
The study compared dermatoscopic features of alopecia areata in 96 children and 171 adults. It found that pediatric alopecia areata was more common in females, while adult males were more likely to have the disease. Multiple patches were common in both groups, with yellow dots being the most frequent sign in children and short vellus hairs in adults. Nail involvement was linked to severe disease in both groups. The study highlights differences in dermatoscopic signs and their association with disease severity between children and adults.
