Comparison of dermoscopic patterns at the center and periphery of alopecia areata patch & #8211; A cross-sectional study in 100 patients

Conclusion: Black dots were the most common dermoscopic findings at the periphery of the patch. Yellow dots were the most common dermoscopic findings at the center of patch among the study population. Kinking at the point of emergence of the hair shaft was a new sign in this study seen at the periphery of the patches in 19 patients. It is the latest finding which requires further elaboration with larger sample size studies.
