Trichoscopy in Trichotillomania – Monitoring Treatment Response
View through CrossRef
ABSTRACT
Trichotillomania is nonscarring alopecia with recurrent pulling out of one’s hair and repeated attempts to reduce hair pulling. Clinical improvement in the urge to pull out hairs in trichotillomania is often not quantifiable and based on unreliable history. Here, we present a case of trichotillomania with follow-up features on trichoscopy during treatment. By this, we propose trichoscopy as an objective tool to visualize clinical improvement in the urge to pull out hairs and assess treatment efficacy.
