Abstract

A dermatoscope is an instrument used to examine
the skin, study pattern of hair follicles and examine
their densities. Trichoscopy is said to be useful in the
diagnosis and follow up of hair and scalp disorders.
There are very few studies on dermoscopy and these
are mainly in Caucasians. The use of dermoscopy
may contribute to understanding the pathogenesis
of hair disorders.
