Abstract

Introduction: Dermoscopy is an important noninvasive tool that helps to determine the stability and activity of vitiligo. Various dermoscopic findings help classify the disease as stable or unstable. This is important for the management of the disease, as surgical management requires disease stability.

Objectives: We aimed to describe the dermoscopic findings in vitiligo and to assess the frequency of various dermoscopic findings in stable and unstable vitiligo.

Methods: This was a hospital-based cross-sectional descriptive study of 100 vitiligo patients and various dermoscopic findings. Results are expressed as percentages.

Results: The most common dermoscopic findings in stable vitiligo patches were sharp border, marginal and perifollicular pigmentation, and reticulate pigment network. Findings such as polka dot appearance, starburst appearance, comet tail, and satellite lesions were seen in unstable vitiligo patches.

Conclusions: Dermoscopy is extremely helpful in determining the stability of vitiligo patches.

皮肤镜在评估白癜风活动性和稳定性中的应用的横断面描述性研究。

皮肤镜检查是一种重要的非侵入性工具，有助于确定白癜风的稳定性和活动性。各种皮肤镜检查结果有助于将疾病分为稳定型和不稳定型。这对疾病的治疗很重要，因为手术治疗需要疾病的稳定性。目的：我们旨在描述白癜风的皮肤镜表现，并评估各种皮肤镜表现在稳定和不稳定白癜风中的频率。方法：这是一项基于医院的横断面描述性研究，研究了100名白癜风患者和各种皮肤镜检查结果。结果以百分比表示。结果：稳定型白癜风斑块最常见的皮肤镜表现为尖锐的边缘、边缘和毛囊周围色素沉着，以及网状的色素网络。在不稳定的白癜风斑块中可见圆点状、星爆状、彗星尾和卫星状病变。结论：皮肤镜检查对确定白癜风贴片的稳定性非常有帮助。
