Dermoscopy greatly improves melanoma diagnosis and reduces unneeded surgeries.

This study found that videodermoscopy can help diagnose nailbed psoriasis by revealing distinctive hyponychial capillary patterns, which correlated with disease severity and response to treatment.

This article examines the emerging role of dermoscopy in skin cancer diagnosis and reports no new clinical findings; the authors highlight its potential to enhance dermatological practice.

This study suggests that while low-cost USB microscopes can correctly identify certain hair shaft features, their ability to detect other crucial trichoscopic features is limited, indicating they are not reliable for routine scalp assessments without further trials.

This study concluded that a polarized-light handheld dermatoscope attached to a digital camera is a practical and useful tool for diagnosing different types of alopecia.

This Viewpoint discusses the utility of dermoscope in routine practice and how familiarity with dynamic vs static trichoscopy may address its limitations, but it reports no new clinical findings.

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 review discusses how dermoscopy enhances diagnostic accuracy in hair and scalp disorders, particularly distinguishing between conditions such as cicatricial and non-scarring alopecia, and offers insights into its practical uses in hair transplantation; it reports no new clinical results.

This review summarizes the dermoscopic structures associated with infectious and inflammatory skin conditions and hair disorders in children but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that most hair shaft abnormalities can be accurately diagnosed using a handheld dermoscope in a clinical setting.

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 study found that videodermoscopy showed higher sensitivity and specificity than clinical examination for diagnosing female pattern hair loss and may serve as an alternative to scalp biopsy in the future.

In this study, researchers found that dermoscopy does not provide distinguishing features for diagnosing scalp contact dermatitis from topical minoxidil compared to other causes of severe scalp itching.

This article highlights the various dermoscopic signs described in dermatology but reports no new clinical results.

This abstract provides no results; it is a website notification about cookies and general access to JAMA content.

This article provides an overview of how dermoscopy can aid in the noninvasive diagnosis of various general dermatological disorders, grouped by clinical presentation, but reports no new clinical results.

This review examines the increasing clinical applications of dermoscopy in diagnosing various skin conditions and highlights its potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary histologic confirmation.

This review discusses trichoscopy as a noninvasive, effective technique for diagnosing various hair loss conditions and monitoring treatment, highlighting its potential to reduce scalp biopsy necessity.

This article reviews the use of trichoscopy for diagnosing and monitoring various scalp conditions, but it presents no new experimental findings; the authors emphasize its precision in noninvasive evaluation.

This study observed that videodermoscopic assessments of dermatomyositis patients revealed specific vascular and pigmentary features, suggesting it may be useful for preliminary diagnosis.

This study suggests that dermoscopy provides additional insights for diagnosing pattern alopecia in short coated dogs, beyond what is visible through standard dermatological examination.

In this observational retrospective study, UVF-dermoscopy was found to be more effective than polarized dermoscopy in identifying follicular features and distinguishing between scarring and nonscarring alopecias, particularly in individuals with lighter skin tones.

In this study, researchers found that dermoscopy revealed specific features in Malassezia folliculitis, such as folliculocentricity and perilesional erythema, which can aid in its identification and potentially distinguish it from acne vulgaris.

This study found that dermoscopy combined with calcium fluorescent white staining effectively aided in the early diagnosis and treatment evaluation of tinea capitis by highlighting specific hair changes and fluorescent patterns associated with different dermatophyte infections in a sample of 20 patients.

This paper discusses the use of dermatoscopy as a fast, noninvasive technique for diagnosing hair shaft disorders and reports no new results; the authors highlight its advantages over traditional microscopy methods.

This study suggests that using UVFD to examine non-pigmented facial lesions can potentially enhance diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary biopsies.

This study reports that dermoscopy can improve the diagnosis of epidermal cysts by making small puncta visible, which are often missed during standard visual examinations.

This study observed that dermoscopy is a valuable tool for hair transplant surgeons to evaluate and improve the aesthetic outcomes and address technical errors in transplant procedures.

This case report highlighted the use of dermoscopy not only for diagnosing skin disorders but also as an educational tool to inform patients about the harmful effects of unqualified medical advice, particularly highlighting the quackery issue in dermatology.
