Follicular units with two to four terminal hairs and one or two vellus hairs can be seen on a healthy, typical scalp trichoscopy.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Aim of the Study:<\/jats:title>\n To compare trichoscopic features between adults and children and between different body parts.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Patients and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n A cross-sectional observational study was performed on 90 patients; AA of the scalp and other body parts attended the dermatology out-patient clinic. A Gen Dermlite D100 Dermoscope was used to examine AA lesions and compare their features according to age and different body parts.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Scalp was the most common area among all patients, 65.6% (among adults, it was 50%, and among children, it was 85%), with a significant difference,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.001. The most common trichoscopic feature among all patients was empty follicular opening in 74 (82.2%) lesions; among children, it was honeycomb pigment in 35 (87.5%) lesions, while among adults, it was empty follicular opening in 40 (80%) lesions. Tulip hair was significantly higher among adults,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.036. At the same time, honeycomb pigment patterns and pohlpinkus constriction were significantly higher among children,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.044 and\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001, respectively.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n The most common trichoscopic feature of adult lesions was empty follicular opening, while honeycomb pigment was dominant among children.
