Hair Breakage in Patients of African Descent: Role of Dermoscopy.

Maria Victória Quaresma¹, María Abril Martinez Velasco², Antonella Tosti³.

Abstract

Dermoscopy represents a useful technique for the diagnosis and follow-up of hair and scalp disorders. To date, little has been published regarding dermoscopy findings of hair disorders in patients of African descent. This article illustrates how dermoscopy allows fast diagnosis of hair breakage due to intrinsic factors and chemical damage in African descent patients.
