- Abstract
The article discusses a study that evaluates the videodermatoscopy (VD) of frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA). It reveals that the predominant VD pattern was represented by the absence of vellus hairs. In addition, VD shows the presence of a variable percentage of exclamation-mark hairs, yellow dots, and black dots, while in traction alopecia vellus hairs were preserved.
