Abstract :

Background: Androgenic alopecia (AGA) is the most common form of hair loss in men characterized by a progressive patterned loss of terminal hair. Dermoscopy of scalp (Trichoscopy) is a new non–invasive technique applied to facilitate the diagnosis of hair and scalp Disorders. Aims: To study dermoscopic pattern of androgenic alopecia in men.Materials and methods: A single centre hospital–based descriptive study of a total of 49 patients with androgenic alopecia was carried out. Dermoscopy was performed in all cases on fronto–temporal, vertex and occiput area by dermatoscope (Dermlite DL4). Results: Single hair follicular unit, Hair shaft diameter variation, white dots and yellow dots were predominantly observed over fronto–temporal area. The most common grade in our study was H N Grade II 20 cases (40%) followed by Grade III 16 cases (32%). Conclusion: We observed that SHFU and HSDV are predominant dermoscopic finding on fronto–temporal area which less observed over vertex and occiput.
