The scalp was evaluated using a DermLite DL3 Dermoscope with a \u00d7 20 magnification and optimal trichoscopic images stored in a computer. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, and Fisher\u2019s exact test were used for statistical analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among the cases, red dots and red globules were the most predominant finding, seen in 90% of the patients.

Among the 80 controls, pigment pattern and white dots were the predominant findings, seen in 77.5% and 75% of patients, respectively. In patients where dermoscopy demonstrated twisted red loops, the mean PSSI score was 19.8.
