DERMOSCOPY IN FEMALE ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Tashmatova N.B. , Research Institute Of Military Medicine Of The Military Medical Academy Of The Armed Forces Of The Republic Of UzbekistanAbstract
We present 3 patients with hair thinning that is pronounced on the top of the head (Fig.1 a,b,c). Thinning of the vertex region is characteristic of female-type androgenetic alopecia but is not diagnostic. Trichoscopy (dermoscopy of hair and scalp) can provide important differential diagnostic information.
