Case 1460  28.1.16 (A. Bakshi)  F 53  scaling, erythema, hair loss 

Preserved follicular units with hardly any inflammation, argues against LPP. Sebaceous gland atrophy is a typical feature of psoriatic alopecia. Basophilic remnants of sebaceous glands surrounding follicles, a rather consistent feature and a good clue to the diagnosis.   Marked telogen shift and surface epidermal changes complete the picture.

Loss/atrophy of sebaceous glands with widespread basophilic glandular remnants.  No significant scarring.  Some miniturisation, so possibly concomitant androgenetic alopecia.
