Scarring alopecia (FFA). (A) Clinical image of temporal scalp area affected by FFA. (B) Dermoscopic image of frontal scalp area in A. (C-F) MPM images acquired at different depths showing an almost obliterated empty hair follicle with no hair shaft. Sebaceous glands are notably absent. Keratinocytes are visible in the stratum granulosum and stratum spinosum layers (z=40 μm and z=50 μm). Inflammatory cells (lymphocytes and macrophages, orange arrows in C-F), elastin and collagen fibers surround the follicle. Scale bar is 20 μm. (G) A 3D view of MPM images in a z-stack from which the (C-F) images were selected.
