Abstract
The perifollicular and interfollicular skin surface provides significant information that may facilitate the diagnosis of hair and scalp diseases. Abnormalities include different patterns and colors of scaling; hyperpigmentation; yellow, white, or pink-white (“strawberry ice cream”–colored) areas of skin surface; discharge; and skin hyperplasia.
