Scalp Micropigmentation: A Clinicopathologic Correlation.

Introduction: Scalp micropigmentation is a method of concealing alopecia by depositing permanent pigment in a tattoo-like manner. Pigment is deposited between hair follicles in a stippling pattern that resembles closely cut hair. Case Presentation: On trichoscopy, characteristic findings of scalp micropigmentation include homogenous, grey to black circular dots that are evenly spaced and appear larger than adjacent hair follicles. Findings were correlated with histopathology.
Conclusion: Trichoscopy is a useful tool to visualize scalp micropigmentation in place of invasive procedures.
