This article discusses the use of trichoscopy as a monitoring tool in assessing treatment response in scalp pemphigus (SP), an autoimmune blistering disease. The study conducted at the University of Bologna enrolled 37 adult patients with confirmed SP and assessed their clinical status using the Pemphigus Disease Area Index (PDAI), laboratory evaluations, and trichoscopy. The results showed that trichoscopy can be valuable in diagnosing and monitoring SP, with dystrophic hair disappearance indicating treatment efficacy. The study also found a correlation between anti-Dsg values and trichoscopy, suggesting that anagen hair loss is related to disease activity. Trichoscopy can serve as a non-invasive tool for monitoring SP and may eliminate the need for skin biopsy. However, the study has limitations, and further research is needed to investigate persistent trichoscopic signs and recurrences. [Extracted from the article] |
