This study found that exogenous ochronosis from hydroquinone use in melasma treatment has distinctive dermatoscopic features that may aid in diagnosis without needing a biopsy.

Alopecia areata is a common autoimmune condition causing varying hair loss, diagnosed by specific patterns of inflammation around hair follicles, with several treatment options available.

This case report describes the first instance of classical lichen planopilaris with atrophic lichenoid plaques developing in a Blaschko-linear pattern due to imatinib treatment in a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia.

This case report describes a pediatric instance of follicular atopic dermatitis in a dark-skinned patient, highlighting its unique clinical and dermoscopic features, such as purplish to brownish scaly papules and specific dermoscopic patterns, which are crucial for enhancing diagnostic accuracy in similar cases.

This study conducted at a Moroccan tertiary dermatology center describes the characteristics of pediatric lichen, highlighting that dermoscopy can improve diagnostic accuracy by identifying distinct patterns across clinical variants, with lichen sclerosus being the most frequent subtype among the children studied.

This study highlights that dermoscopy is an essential, non-invasive tool for diagnosing and monitoring alopecia areata, with various dermoscopic patterns associated with disease severity and activity, but also emphasizes the need for improved topical therapies and standardized criteria, especially for diverse populations.

This study identified key dermoscopic features in folliculotropic mycosis fungoides patients, showing that dilation of follicular openings and spiky follicular keratosis are specific indicators of follicular involvement, potentially aiding in diagnosis, classification, and treatment decisions.
