Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: Role of Dermoscopy in Differential Diagnosis
Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is more common in postmenopausal women, but it can occur in younger women. Some authors consider FFA to be a distinct frontal variant of lichen planopilaris. From a clinical point of view, this relatively uncommon condition is characterized by progressive frontotemporal recession due to inflammatory destruction of hair follicles. Dermoscopy can be very useful, as the differential diagnosis between traction alopecia, alopecia areata, FFA and cicatricial marginal alopecia may be difficult. It is not clear whether or not treatment alters the natural history of the disease - the disease stabilized with time in most of the patients with or without continuing treatment. Here we report a case of a 50-year-old woman with FFA and discuss the relevance of dermoscopy in the differential diagnosis of this disease
Juvenile xanthogranuloma: dermoscopic pattern
Our case report is important for a complete definition of the dermoscopic picture of JXG and to avoid that such methodological errors prejudice the correct dermoscopic analysis of lesions, such as amelanotic melanoma, a correct diagnosis of which depends on evaluation/detection of the dermoscopic vascular pattern

Non-invasive diagnosis of nodular scabies: the string of pearls sign
In nodular scabies the mites often disappear particularly after topical treatment that disintegrates them, thus not allowing the detection of the jetliner sign. As mite’s eggs are more resistant to treatment, is possible to identify the burrows filled with eggs, morphologically and ultrastructurally resembling
a ‘string of pearls’, also in nodular lesions
About vascular patterns
In this article we wish to stress the importance in melanoma diagnosis of overall assessment of patients, from medical history to accurate evaluation of dermoscopic pattern
