Dermoscopic features in children with vitiligo and other hypopigmentation disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To analyze the application value of dermoscopy in the identification and staging evaluation of vitiligo in children.

Methods

We have analyzed the differences in dermoscopy between vitiligo and other hypopigmentation disorders. Meanwhile, the dermatoscopic differences between active and stable vitiligo were also compared. At the same time, the results of diagnosing vitiligo were compared between a single dermascopic image (testing paper) and a combination of photographs, Wood's lamp examinations, and dermascopic images (training paper) by answering a questionnaire to eight dermatologists.

Results

We have summarized the dermatoscopic features and clinical characteristics of 112 cases of active vitiligo, 111 cases of stable vitiligo, 99 cases of pityriasis alba
