Dermoscopy is becoming an indispensable tool in everyday practice, with an expanding range of applications. Trichoscopy is effective not only in establishing the diagnosis of scalp disorders but also in the follow-up of treatment. The MEDLINE database was searched using the terms "dermoscopy" and "trichoscopy" in combination with each of the following: "axilla," "pubic area," "beard," "eyebrows," "eyelashes," and "body hairs." We included case reports, case series, and review articles mentioning the previous terms. By providing an updated review from the literature, we aimed to emphasize the potential uses of trichoscopy in detecting diseases in hairy locations other than the scalp. Various inflammatory conditions, infections, and infestations are discussed.

“…22 Study by Ankad et al reported that the lesions of dermatophyte infection also showed dotted vessels as the end of dilated blood vessels due to an acute inflammatory process. 26 The possible underlying pathogenesis process to the dermoscopic features of MF proposed by Jakhar et al and Durdu et al indicate that those features are sufficient for establishing the initial diagnosis of MF. However, it must be noted that it was not intended to replace the primary role of mycological examination as a gold standard.…”

“…It could not be found in other cases of folliculitis, thus it was stated to have a high specificity rate. 6,22,26 Dotted vessels histologically correspond to the tips of vertically arranged, dilated vessels in dermal papillae. 22 Study by Ankad et al reported that the lesions of dermatophyte infection also showed dotted vessels as the end of dilated blood vessels due to an acute inflammatory process.…”

Background: Malassezia folliculitis (MF) is the most common fungal folliculitis, and it is caused by yeast of the genus Malassezia. MF may be difficult to be distinguished clinically from acne and other types of folliculitis, causing misdiagnosis and improper treatment. Dermoscopy has been very useful to support the diagnosis of several types of folliculitis, including MF. Purpose: To know the role of dermoscopic examination in MF. Review: The diagnosis of MF can be identified by usual clinical presentation with direct microscopy and culture of the specimen, Wood's light examination, histopathological examination, and rapid efficacy of oral antifungal treatments. Several studies reported that dermoscopy provides a deeper level of the image that links the clinical morphology and the underlying histopathology. Some dermoscopic patterns are observed consistently with certain diseases, including MF, so these could be used for establishing their diagnosis. The dermoscopic features of MF seem to correlate with the current understanding of its etiopathogenesis. Conclusion: Dermoscopic examination in MF will reveal dermoscopic patterns including folliculocentric papule and pustules with surrounding erythema, dirty white perilesional scales, coiled/looped hairs with perifollicular erythema and scaling, hypopigmentation of involved hair follicles, and dotted vessels.

“…Entre los hallazgos más descritos, encontramos los puntos negros/marrones, la escama blanca, los puntos rojos, los vasos puntiformes, las manchas marrones o rojas o los cambios en los pelos (angulados, en zigzag, en coma, «en código de barras» e hipopigmentados). La presencia clínica o dermatoscópica de afectación del pelo, nódulos o placas profundas, debe hacer que nos planteemos la necesidad de tratamiento sistémico 5 (fig. 1).…”
