【 摘 要 】

Dermoscopy has been established as an indispensable tool in the diagnosis and follow up of hair disorders. In alopecia areata, dermoscopy of active disease shows yellow dots, dystrophic hairs, as well as cadaverized (black dots) and exclamation mark hairs. Alopecia areata has been reported to occur equally among races, however, until date, there are no published data regarding dermoscopic findings in African-American patient.
