July 2025 in “Indian Dermatology Online Journal” This study compared dermoscopic features in 85 patients with alopecia areata (AA) with and without poor prognostic indicators.

The study highlighted that patients with poor prognostic markers had a higher Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) score, indicating more severe disease.
