Abstract
The trichoscopic features of classic pseudopelade of Brocq are nonspecific and include loss of follicular openings, porcelain-white areas, and, occasionally, dystrophic hairs at the periphery of the lesion. The trichoscopic features characteristic of other primary cicatricial alopecias are not present. Thus, pseudopelade of Brocq is a diagnosis of exclusion.
