* Few data are available on scalp involvement in systemic scleroderma. * Few data are available on the association between scalp abnormalities and features of systemic scleroderma * Trichoscopy is a simple, reproducible, noninvasive examination that is part of the examination of hairy areas in routine dermatologic practice * There is a lack of simple, noninvasive examinations to evaluate patients with systemic scleroderma The objective will be to evaluate the contribution of trichoscopy in the evaluation of patients with systemic scleroderma
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
200
We will perform a non-invasive assessment of the scalp with a dermoscope by taking two standardized pictures on the frontal area and the occipital area in order to a blinded analysis of trichoscopic patterns

Time frame: Baseline
Correlation between autoimmune profile of sclerodermic patients and trichoscopic features
