Introduction: Endothelial damage is associated with acute and long-term coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) complications. Proximal nailfold capillaries and nail beds give important clues to microvascular changes associated with endothelial dysfunction.

Objective: We aimed to use dermoscopy to examine the proximal nailfold capillaries and nail bed of COVID-19 patients and identify microvascular changes.

Riehl's melanosis (RM) is a pigmentary disorder, more common in individuals with dark skin phototypes, considered a form of pigmented contact dermatitis. In this paper we present a case of RM due to the rubber component of a work facial mask in which dermoscopy and patch test were the most important tools to help physicians in diagnosis. In addition, we reviewed the main dermoscopic clues that may be useful in differential diagnosis with other facial pigmentary disorders.

Background/objectives: Hidrocystomas, eccrine and apocrine, are rare cystic lesions that form benign tumors of the sweat glands. This study aimed to describe the clinical features of hidrocystomas and evaluate the role of non-invasive imaging techniques, including dermoscopy, Line-field Confocal Optical Coherence Tomography (LC-OCT), Reflectance Confocal Microscopy (RCM), and Ultra-High-Frequency Ultrasound (UHFUS), in their diagnosis.

Methods: In total, seven cases of hidrocystomas were collected from the Dermatologic Clinic of the University of Siena, Italy.

Article Synopsis
  • Diagnosing basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in individuals with darker skin tones (dark phototypes IV-VI) is difficult due to varied presentations and fewer identifiable clues; dermoscopy can aid in identifying BCC in these patients.
  • This review provides a comparison of BCC's clinical and dermoscopic patterns in people of color to those in lighter-skinned individuals, identifying common mimickers like squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma.
  • Key dermoscopic features of BCC in darker skin include blue, black, and gray dots, with arborizing vessels being the primary indicator, while unique conditions in darker skin such as dermatosis papulosa nigra are also considered in differential diagnosis.
