The scalp skin and hair of a 38\u2010year\u2010old Japanese male, and 23\u2010, 22\u2010 and 47\u2010year\u2010old Japanese females with AA, whose normal hair color was black, were examined by dry dermoscopy. Exclamation mark hairs, short hairs, fractured hairs and black dots, all characteristic of AA, were detected by dry dermoscopy of the scalp of the 23\u2010year\u2010old female with ophiasis type AA. In the case of the 47\u2010year\u2010old female with round hair loss on the occipital scalp and diffuse hair loss over the fronto\u2010vertical region, dry dermoscopy was useful for diagnosis of AA based on hair characteristic of AA. After she received corticosteroid pulse therapy with 500\u00a0mg of i.v. methylprednisolone on 3 successive days, her hair showed apparent regrowth and disappearance of the abnormal hairs characteristic of AA, evidenced by dry dermoscopy 1\u00a0month later. In a case of long\u2010lasting AA in the 23\u2010year\u2010old female, we found a follicular plaque\u2010like appearance at the opened hair follicle pores by dry dermoscopy. Histopathologically, the incompletely differentiated remnant hair shaft was packed in the follicular infundibulum. In addition, regrowing vellus hairs, which were difficult to clinically recognize, were detected by dry dermoscopy. Dry dermoscopy is therefore useful for both diagnosis and follow up of AA.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1346-8138.2007.00345.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,8,23]],"date-time":"2007-08-23T09:39:09Z","timestamp":1187861949000},"page":"635-639","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Dry dermoscopy in clinical treatment of alopecia areata"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Shigeki","family":"INUI","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takeshi","family":"NAKAJIMA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Satoshi","family":"ITAMI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,8,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1346-8138.2006.00126.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","first-page":"8","volume-title":"Dermoscopy Handbook","author":"Tanaka M","year":"2005"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","first-page":"40","volume-title":"Dermoscopy Handbook","author":"Tanaka M","year":"2005"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-2494.2005.00281.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","first-page":"574","article-title":"Skin weathering and ashiness in black Africans","volume":"13","author":"Uhoda E","year":"2003","journal-title":"Eur J Dermatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1467-2494.2001.00061.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00128071-200405030-00009"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.1977.tb15179.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000247268"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"63","DOI":"10.3109\/9780203490662","volume-title":"An Atlas of Hair Pathology With Clinical Correlations","author":"Sperling LC","year":"2003"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1346-8138.1994.tb01802.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1346-8138.2002.tb00203.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1346-8138.1998.tb02486.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-9740.2005.04363.x"}],"container-title":["The Journal of Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.1346-8138.2007.00345.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.1346-8138.2007.00345.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,13]],"date-time":"2023-10-13T19:13:26Z","timestamp":1697224406000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1346-8138.2007.00345.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,8,23]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"9","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2007,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/j.1346-8138.2007.00345.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/j.1346-8138.2007.00345.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0385-2407","1346-8138"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0385-2407","type":"print"},{"value":"1346-8138","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,8,23]]}}}
