Salmon colored fluorescence on Wood's lamp in a pediatric patient with vitiligo: A case report.

J Family Med Prim Care

Department of Dermatology, King Fahad Medical City (KFMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Vitiligo, a prevalent cutaneous depigmentation disorder, often leads individuals to seek cosmetic remedies such as dihydroxyacetone (DHA)-infused camouflage makeup. Wood's lamp, a common diagnostic tool in dermatology, is typically employed to assess vitiligo lesions, revealing DHA-induced fluorescence in a distinct salmon color, contrasting with the bright blue-white fluorescence exhibited by vitiligo lesions. Erythrasma, a bacterial infection of the epidermis, is known for its unique bright coral-pink or coral-red fluorescence under Wood's lamp.

Hybrid of Deep Feature Extraction and Machine Learning Ensembles for Imbalanced Skin Cancer Datasets.

Exp Dermatol

December 2024

Computer Science & Engineering Department, MNNIT Allahabad, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India.

Skin cancer remains one of the most common and deadly forms of cancer, necessitating accurate and early diagnosis to improve patient outcomes. In order to improve classification performance on unbalanced datasets, this study proposes a distinctive approach for classifying skin cancer that utilises both machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) methods. We extract features from three different DL models (DenseNet201, Xception, Mobilenet) and concatenate them to create an extensive feature set.

This is particularly concerning for conditions like malignant melanoma, where early diagnosis is crucial. Teledermatology is being introduced to address these issues, but its impact on patients' monetary and time costs, especially in deprived areas, is under-researched.
