TRICHOSCOPIC COMPARISON BETWEEN TELOGEN EFFLUVIUM AND ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA

Abstract

Background: Alopecia, is a major condition that affects both sexes and people of all ages. Hair loss is the most common reason for women to consult a dermatologist, apparently because of cosmetic reasons. Androgenetic alopecia and Telogen Effluvium have greater rates of occurrence and sensitive responsiveness to timely treatments. Trichoscopy helps in diagnosis, determining the biopsy location, and providing prognostic information. Dermatologists can examine the scalp with a handheld dermoscope (x10 magnification). Vascular patterns, follicular and perifollicular features, and hair shaft features are among the dermoscopy results.
