Investigation of hair shaft in seborrheic dermatitis using atomic force microscopy


Background/purpose: We have investigated the changes of seborrheic dermatitis (SD) on the hair shaft in the morphological and physical properties using atomic force microscopy (AFM).


Methods: Hair samples were obtained from the lesional and perilesional regions in 15 patients with SD. Fifteen healthy adults were included as the control group. From the topography of hair obtained by AFM, the height of the scale, step height, roughness, diameter, and pit were determined.


Results: The scale thickness of the SD-affected hair was sevenfold more than in the control hair showing statistically ...
