Early-onset trichotillomania: A case report with dermoscopic findings

Abstract

Early-onset trichotillomania (TTM) can be a challenging diagnosis as other common causes of childhood patchy alopecias such as alopecia areata and tinea capitis have to be excluded. We report a 3-year-old boy with TTM and dermoscopic findings.
