“…Our histopathological features are in agreement with the previously published articles as representing perifollicular lymphocytic infiltrate with lichenoid alteration [2,5,6,14,15]. One recent report revealed dermoscopic findings of generalized inflammatory keratosis pilarislike papules as peripilar casts, gray-brown discoloration of follicular ostia, and broken hairs [5]. Likewise, our dermoscopic examination showed consistent findings.…”

“…However, involvement of LPP on the areas beyond the scalp has been described in the literature (Table 1) [2, 5, 6, 14, 15]. Reported clinical manifestations were as follows: facial papules, generalized keratotic follicular papules on the body [5, 6], and focal scarring hair loss or acute patchy hair loss on the limbs [2, 5, 14, 15]. Nevertheless, there is scant information related to histopathological and dermoscopic features of the extra-scalp lesions.…”

“…In the present case, the presence of scalp LPP and follicular papules may thus indicate an early stage of GLPLS. However, involvement of LPP on the areas beyond the scalp has been described in the literature (Table 1) [2,5,6,14,15]. Reported clinical manifestations were as follows: facial papules, generalized keratotic follicular papules on the body [5,6], and focal scarring hair loss or acute patchy hair loss on the limbs [2,5,14,15].…”

“…Although it usually presents as patchy alopecia mostly on the scalp leading to cicatricial alopecia [3], the disease affecting other body regions beyond the scalp has been reported [2, 4]. To date, data of extrascalp involvement regarding clinical, histopathological, and dermoscopic findings are relatively sparse [2, 5]. Herein, we report a case of follicular lichen planus presented with comedone-like papules on the trunk and extremities in association with scalp LPP and related dermoscopic features.…”

Lichen planopilaris is a rare inflammatory condition that is also known as follicular lichen planus. Although the condition commonly affects the scalp, it sometimes involves the other regions of the body with a variety of clinical presentations. The involvement beyond the scalp is considered to be a generalized nature of disease process. In this report, we present a case of generalized follicular lichen planus in a 34-year-old Thai female presenting with comedone-like lesions on the trunk and extremities as well as scarring alopecia on the scalp. Dermoscopic features were also discussed.

“…Los síntomas más comunes son prurito o ardor. Se ha descrito otra variante llamada alopecia fibrosante en patrón de distribución, que desde el punto de vista histológico posee propiedades de alopecia androgenética y liquen plano pilar y en ella es característico el eritema perifolicular 14,15 .…”

Las alopecias cicatrizales se consideran un grupo de enfermedades del pelo que ha tenido en la actualidad un gran campo de investigación. Existen múltiples herramientas para realizar un algoritmo diagnóstico, entre ellas la tricoscopia, el estudio histopatológico o la microscopia confocal, aunque algunas tienen desventajas en cuanto a costo o son invasivas como la biopsia; por esa razón, la tricoscopia ha resultado un método accesible, de bajo costo, no invasivo y puede efectuarse al momento de la consulta para establecer un diagnóstico más específico e instituir un tratamiento oportuno. La importancia de conocer e identificar los patrones tricológicos de forma temprana para las alopecias, en especial las alopecias cicatrizales, radica en identificar los signos que eviten la progresión de la enfermedad, sobre todo en etapas reversibles.

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.
