Abstract

Trichoscopy allows the detection of diverse vascular structures that may be present in healthy individuals or in patients with inflammatory scalp diseases. These vascular structures include (1) comma vessels, (2) dotted vessels, (3) vessels with a whitish halo, (4) hairpin vessels, (5) elongated hairpin vessels, (6) linear vessels, (7) thin arborizing vessels, (8) thick arborizing vessels, (9) capillary blood extravasations, (10) perifollicular-concentric vessels, (11) milky red globules, (12) linear helical vessels, (13) lace-like vessels, (14) glomerular (coiled) vessels, (15) serpentine vessels, (16) vessels in a crown arrangement, (17) thick root-like vessels, and (18) vessel nets. In a significant majority of cases, these are the same types of blood vessels identified previously on dermoscopy in skin tumors.
