Trichoscopy corresponds to the scalp, and hair dermoscopy has been increasingly used as an aid in the diagnosis, follow-up, and prognosis of hair disorders. Trichoscopy represents a valuable link between clinical and histological diagnosis. Tinea capitis (TC) and alopecia areata (AA) are considered the most common causes of hairless patches of the scalp in pediatrics. TC may have the same clinical appearance of AA, so dermoscopy has recently become a useful diagnostic tool for AA and TC, particularly in doubtful cases. The aim of this study is to identify the trichoscopic features of TC and AA in children that may facilitate in their differentiation from each other and choosing the appropriate treatment, which is a non-invasive method of diagnosis.
毛发镜检查适用于头皮，毛发皮肤镜已越来越多地用于辅助诊断、随访和评估毛发疾病的预后。毛发镜检查是临床诊断和组织学诊断之间的重要联系。头癣（TC）和斑秃（AA）被认为是小儿头皮秃斑最常见的原因。头癣可能与斑秃有相同的临床表现，因此皮肤镜检查最近已成为斑秃和头癣的一种有用诊断工具，特别是在疑难病例中。本研究的目的是确定儿童头癣和斑秃的毛发镜特征，这可能有助于两者的鉴别以及选择合适的治疗方法，这是一种非侵入性诊断方法。
