We analyzed the clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological features of follicular psoriasis in a descriptive study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 117 patients with psoriasis were screened. An exclusive or substantial number of follicular lesions were found in 22 patients. Four patients had exclusively follicular lesions and others were psoriasis vulgaris with follicular psoriasis. Dermoscopy revealed perifollicular scaling and white homogeneous area with normal terminal hair in all cases. Vascular features were visible in 14 cases and all had dotted vessels, with four having additional globules. Twenty patients revealed one or more features suggestive of follicular psoriasis on histopathology.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Follicular lesions can appear exclusively or can coexist with plaque type of lesions in psoriasis. They may indicate early psoriasis lesions. Dermoscopy is a useful and rapid tool to confirm the diagnosis of follicular psoriasis. Histopathology, though confirmatory, demands an astute interpretational skill. Diagnosis of follicular psoriasis can have therapeutic implications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijt.ijt_168_20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,12]],"date-time":"2024-04-12T06:00:19Z","timestamp":1712901619000},"page":"127-132","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Clinical, Dermoscopic, and Histopathological Study of Follicular Psoriasis"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Maqbool","family":"Saep","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy, Yenepoya Medical College, Yenepoya (Deemed to be University), Mangalore, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manjunath Mala","family":"Shenoy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy, Yenepoya Medical College, Yenepoya (Deemed to be University), Mangalore, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anuradha C.
