Abstract
Background: Trichoscopy is a valuable technique for diagnosing and monitoring individuals with hair loss. The method's present shortcoming is that only tiny areas of the scalp may be imaged. This might be challenging when attempting to assess vast regions, such as the whole hairline in individuals with frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA), as well as when attempting to compare the exact same field of view in posterior examinations.
Aim of the Work: Evaluation of Panoramic trichoscopy as novel method for assessment of response to treatment in diffuse alopecia.
Patients and Methods: From August 2021 to January 2023, 60 patients with diffuse alopecia were enrolled in a prospective study at Al Hussein University Hospitals' dermatology clinic to investigate panoramic trichoscopy as a novel method for detecting treatment response in diffuse alopecia.
Results: The mean satisfaction percentage of all analyzed patients in the current study was 37 21.2%, with a minimum percentage of 10% and a maximum percentage of 60%. 23 patients (38.3%) improved little, 26 patients (43.3%) improved significantly, and 11 patients (18.3%) improved moderately.
Conclusion: Panoramic trichoscopy is easy, tolerable and new diagnostic method, cost effective, saving time, effort, more easy and complaint for patient with diffuse alopecia
