BACKGROUND Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a popular procedure for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (AGA). AIM To ascertain the role of minoxidil 5% lotion alone versus minoxidil 5% lotion and PRP versus minoxidil 5% lotion, PRP with microneedling in AGA. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety-three AGA patients with Hamilton-Norwood score 1-5 were grouped into three groups A, B, and C. Patients in group A (control group) were treated with minoxidil 5% lotion twice daily (n = 31), whereas patients in group B underwent treatment with minoxidil 5% lotion twice daily and PRP (n = 31), and group C patients received minoxidil 5% lotion twice daily, PRP, and microneedling (n = 31). Baseline and post-treatment photographs were taken along with dermoscopic evaluation. Selection of the dermoscopic variables included in the evaluation process was based on the published literature and dermoscopists' expertise and experience. Hair pull test was performed before and during follow-up. RESULTS Post-treatment, hair pull test was negative in 27 patients (87.1%, P

Background Vitiligo is essentially a clinical diagnosis, and dermoscopy may aid in noninvasive confirmation of diagnosis by excluding other clinically simulating hypopigmentary conditions. More importantly, dermoscopy is rapidly gaining ground as an important adjunct tool to evaluate disease activity. Aim To study the dermoscopic features of vitiligo and ascertain their correlation with disease activity. Methods Retrospective analysis of dermoscopy of 60 cases suffering from vitiligo was undertaken. Dermoscopy was performed using Dermlite II hybrid m dermatoscope at 10× magnification in polarized mode, and photographs were captured by Apple iphone 6. Variables assessed in the dermoscopic evaluation included perifollicular changes, perilesional changes, altered pigmentary network, and presence of specific features such as the starburst appearance, comet tail appearance, leukotrichia, telangiectasia, and any new findings. Results Sixty patients with stable, progressive, or repigmenting vitiligo were retrospectively studied. While perifollicular depigmentation (PFD) was predictive of stable vitiligo, perifollicular pigmentation (PFP) was characteristic of active disease. Starburst appearance, altered pigment network, and comet tail appearance, were also noted, and these were typical of progressive vitiligo. A new dermoscopic feature, the 'tapioca sago' appearance (sabudana), was observed in the skin adjacent to the vitiligo lesion only in patients with progressive vitiligo. Conclusion Dermoscopy is useful in assessing the stage of evolution and the status of disease activity in vitiligo. The most useful dermoscopic clues are observed in the perifollicular region, since progressive lesions display perifollicular pigmentation and stable/remitting lesions display perifolliclar depigmentation.

Background Dermoscopy devices can overcome the refractive properties of stratum corneum by interface medium or cross polarization such that the lesion can be easily seen. Aim To examine the dermoscopic feature in alopecia areata and correlate the severity of disease with dermoscopic features. Materials and methods Retrospective analysis of 72 patients suffering from alopecia areata (AA), irrespective of age and sex, who visited the dermatology outpatient department of a tertiary care center in Eastern India was carried out. The most recently developed cases of AA were examined dermoscopically. Variables included yellow dots (YDs), black dots (BDs), broken hair (BH), short vellus hair (SVH), and exclamation mark hair (EMH) on the basis of available literature and expertise. Results Yellow dots was the most common finding seen in 57 cases (79.16%), black dots in 51 cases (70.8%). Short vellus hair was seen in 32 cases (44.44%), broken hair was seen in 31 cases (43.05%), and exclamation mark hair in 23 cases (31.9%). YDs per field of vision was considered as the most common finding with increased severity of AA. Conclusion YDS, in increased number per field of vision, is the most consistent finding seen in severe cases of AA, as they are in progressive AA and alopecia universalis. An increased number of SVH and terminal hairs were seen in patients who were being treated.

Olmsted syndrome (OS) is a rare congenital, mutilating palmoplantar keratoderma first described by Olmsted in 1927. It starts in the neonatal period or in childhood, and has a slow but progressive disabling course. We report the case of a 16-year-old boy who presented with keratoderma of the palm and soles since childhood with lateral supraciliary madarosis and clubbing. The patient was started on oral retinoids and topical keratolytics and had partial improvement in 2 months. Keratoderma of the palms and soles along with lateral supraciliary madarosis and clubbing in our case is a very rare finding, and to the best of our knowledge, has not been reported so far.

Background: Diagnosing and differentiating pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) from other disorders can be a challenging task. Although histopathology remains the gold standard, it may not be feasible at times, especially in children. Being noninvasive, dermoscopy can be of great diagnostic importance in such a scenario. Dermoscopy overcomes the refractive properties of stratum corneum by interface medium or cross-polarization enabling easier visualization of lesions. Objective: To study the dermoscopic features of PRP and compare them with dermoscopic features of psoriasis. Patients and Methods: Retrospective observational analysis of dermoscopic characteristics of 28 patients with PRP (16) and psoriasis (12). Polarized dermoscopy at 10× magnification was performed and photographs were captured by Apple iPhone 7. The selection of dermoscopic variables was based on preexisting literature on the dermoscopic patterns of the 2 entities. Results: The most frequent dermoscopic criteria of PRP were the presence of a central hair (16/16; 100%), follicular plugs (11/16; 68.7%), and perifollicular yellow/orange halos (9/16; 56.2%). No vascular structures were seen in our cases of PRP. Psoriasis was characterized by regularly distributed dotted vessels (12/12; 100%) and white scales (8/12; 66.6%). Conclusions: Round-to-oval yellowish areas surrounding a central hair with or without follicular plugs represents the most frequent dermoscopic pattern of PRP.

SummaryBackground Platelet-rich plasma has shown beneficial effects in the treatment of androgenic alopecia with its growth factor properties in accelerating the dermal papilla. Dermoscopy is a noninvasive method that allows the in vivo evaluation of microstructures not visible to the naked eye. Objective To ascertain the role of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with microneedling, and to compare the pre- and post-treatment dermoscopic features in androgenetic alopecia. (AGA). Method Patients with mild to moderate AGA, aged 18-45 years with Hamilton-Norwood score 1-5 were included in both study and control group. Dermoscopy was performed using Dermlite II hybrid m; 3Gen dermoscope at 10× magnification in polarized mode, and photographs were taken. Those not responding or those not having any new hair growth to conventional therapy for at least 1 year were included. The study group were given autologous platelet-rich plasma injections with microneedling over a period of 3 months at 3 weekly interval. Baseline and post-treatment photographs were taken. Result Hair growth started after the first session. The patients’ satisfaction was more than 75% in 18 patients, on patients’ subjective hair growth assessment scale. In post-PRP-treated patients of AGA, increase in the number of vellus and total hairs, increased hair shaft diameter, and reduction in yellow dots were appreciated after 3 sessions. Hair pull test was negative after treatment in 14 patients (70%). Conclusion This study reinforces the importance of dermoscopy in not only aiding in the diagnosis, but also in evaluation of pre- and post-treatment response of AGA.

Bimatoprost is a prostamide analogue used for treatment of glaucoma in ophthalmology. Surprisingly, the side effects such as increased pigmentation of eyelids and hypertrichosis in patients being treated with prostaglandin analogues for glaucoma have opened new areas of application in various dermatological disorders such as alopecia mainly affecting eyelashes, eyebrows, and vitiligo.
