Background:

Hair loss and scalp disorders are common clinical concerns.
Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective patient management.

Approach:

This review updates the understanding of trichoscopic features for common hair loss disorders.
Trichoscopy utilizes dermoscopy for noninvasive visualization of hair and scalp structures.

Key Points:

Trichoscopy enables visualization of distinctive signs and structures related to hair loss.
Specific trichoscopic features aid in diagnosing conditions like alopecia areata, trichotillomania, and frontal fibrosing alopecia.
The technique is simple, noninvasive, and can be performed with handheld or digital dermatoscopes.

Conclusions:

Familiarity with trichoscopic features significantly aids dermatologists in diagnosing and monitoring hair loss conditions.
Trichoscopy is a valuable tool for improving patient care in clinical practice.
