More than 77% of patients had at least one form of the follicular opening disorder. About 75% of patients had shaft disorders. The most common pattern of pigmentation was milky\u2010red (97.73%). The irregular and ectatic vascular network were seen in 59.09% of patients. Patients with coiled and twisted hairs, small yellow dots, large yellow dots, and peripilar sign were more likely to have shorter disease duration (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05).
