This article discusses how dermoscopy, particularly "entomodermoscopy," aids in diagnosing skin infestations and infectious dermatoses, enhancing clinical evaluations, and monitoring treatment efficacy for conditions like scabies, pediculosis, myiasis, and tungiasis.

This review discusses the role of dermoscopy in diagnosing hair and scalp disorders, noting its ability to aid in differential diagnosis without the need for biopsies; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that dermoscopy showed distinctive patterns for different types of alopecia, supporting its clinical usefulness for diagnosing diseases with small round or oval hairless patches on the scalp.
