CONFOCAL MICROSCOPIC FEATURES OF SCARRING ALOPECIA: PRELIMINARY REPORT

Abstract:

Background:  lichen planus pilaris (LPP), and discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) are the most common causes of lymphocytic primary cicatricial alopecias. The management of scarring alopecias can be difficult. Combination of clinic, dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), a non-invasive, high-resolution imaging technique, have been already demonstrated to be useful for choosing the correct biopsy site in patients with inflammatory skin diseases and obtaining microscopic diagnostic criteria.


Objectives: we evaluated the real usefulness of RCM for identification of criteria for LPP and DLE involving the scalp and their management during therapeutical follow-up.


Methods:  7 ...
