Trichoscopic findings of trichotillomania: new observations.

Conclusions: Here we have documented trichoscopic findings of TTM retrospectively. Trichoptilosis, V hair and hair powder were the most frequent relatively specific findings. We tried to define novel findings that we named branched hair and concentric hair. We also detected Mace hair in 9 cases. Mace hair was previously described just in 3 cases of TTM in a case study. Angulated hairs, to the best of our knowledge, were also firstly described for TTM in the present study. Lack of a comparison group is the main limitation of the study. PMID: 32792873 [PubMed]
