Summing up, reflectance confocal microscopy allows to visualize major key diagnostic features of classic lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia in the real time. The value of RCM examination in scarring alopecia needs to be further evaluated, but it appears to be a useful adjuvant tool for the initial diagnosis of classic LPP and FFA.
