Abstract
This chapter illustrates how pathological features correlate with dermoscopic features: Hair diameter diversity: this sign reflects hair miniaturization and is a typical feature of androgenetic alopecia. Pathology shows in horizontal sections of normal scalp the average terminal to vellus hair ratio is 7:1. Dermoscopy shows less than 20% of diversity.
