“…17,18,19 Discoid lupus erythematosus showed follicular plugging on examination as the most consistent finding which was also noticed in multiples studies. 20,21 Thickening of basement membrane zone was observed in systemic lupus erythematosus specimen which was concurrent to findings of Alahlafi AM et al 22 HPE of follicular lichen planus showed characteristic follicular plugging, similar findings were noticed by Wilk M et al 23 in fully developed lesions of follicular lichen planus. Subepidermal bulla noticed in the bullous lichen planus was a typical feature as reported by authours 24,25 in earlier reports and studies.…”

“…[69] In other studies, authors state that follicular keratotic plugging is a typical feature of DLE that can be easily appreciated clinically as well as dermoscopically and these may still be present in areas of chronic alopecia. [1011]…”

Lichen planopilaris versus discoid lupus erythematosus: A trichoscopic perspective

2013

Trichoscopy enables visualization of subsurface structures and color patterns of scalp and hair. Recently, its applications expanded to diagnose inflammatory conditions such as lichen planopilaris (LPP), scalp psoriasis, and discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE). Clinically, both LPP and DLE appear similar as cicatricial alopecia on the scalp making the diagnosis difficult. Here, we report the utility of trichoscopy in the clinical diagnosis of LPP and DLE. Clinically, suspected lesions of DLE and LPP on the scalp of each patient were observed under trichoscopy. Histopathology of lesions confirmed the clinical diagnosis. Authors observed characteristic trichoscopic features in LPP as well as in DLE proving the clinical diagnosis. Hence, trichoscopy can be used to diagnose LPP and DLE clinically avoiding skin biopsy.

“…[2–4] Follicular keratotic plugging is a typical feature of DLE that can be easily appreciated on clinically and dermoscopically. [3] Clinically, the keratotic plugs have been referred to as the carpet tack sign since they project up similar to carpet tacks. We present here a case series of three females affected by scalp DLE with prominent follicular plugging on dermoscopy and corresponding keratotic plugs on pathology.…”

Trichoscopy and histopathology of follicular keratotic plugs in scalp discoid lupus erythematosus

et al. 2012

Dermoscopy has become an integral part of diagnosing scalp disorders including discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE). Follicular keratotic plugs are a marker of DLE and correlate with the hyperkeratosis and plugging of the follicular ostia with keratotic material. They may be present in acute or chronic lesions and their presence alone or in conjunction with other described dermoscopic features can lead to timely diagnosis and initiation of treatment. We present three cases of scalp DLE and discuss the clinical, dermoscopic and histopathologic features.
