Accurate identification of yellow dots (YD) is crucial for distinguishing between non-scarring and scarring alopecias the latter being characterized by the loss of follicular openings. However, with conventional dermoscopy (CD), using either non-polarized or polarized light, the yellowish color of YD may appear faint or even whitish, reducing contrast with the surrounding scalp.

Abstract
Accurate identification of yellow dots (YD) is crucial for distinguishing between non-scarring and scarring alopecias the latter being characterized by the loss of follicular openings. However, with conventional dermoscopy (CD), using either non-polarized or polarized light, the yellowish color of YD may appear faint or even whitish, reducing contrast with the surrounding scalp.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
