Dermoscopic findings in psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis on the scalp and correlation with disease severity
Dermoscopy has frequently been used for hair and scalp disorders. Dermoscopic examinations of psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis lesions yielded different morphologies. This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of dermoscopy in the clinical differentiation of psoriasis and seborrheic dermatiti...
