ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Scalp micropigmentation is a method of concealing alopecia by depositing permanent pigment in a tattoo-like manner. Pigment is deposited between hair follicles in a stippling pattern that resembles closely cut hair. Case Presentation On trichoscopy, characteristic findings of scalp micropigmentation include homogenous, grey to black circular dots that are evenly spaced and appear larger than adjacent hair follicles. Findings were correlated with histopathology.
