Trichoscopy and Systemic Scleroderma

Prognostic Value of Trichoscopy in Patients With Systemic Scleroderma

• Few data are available on scalp involvement in systemic scleroderma.
• Few data are available on the association between scalp abnormalities and features of systemic scleroderma
• Trichoscopy is a simple, reproducible, noninvasive examination that is part of the examination of hairy areas in routine dermatologic practice
• There is a lack of simple, noninvasive examinations to evaluate patients with systemic scleroderma

The objective will be to evaluate the contribution of trichoscopy in the evaluation of patients with systemic scleroderma
