Introduction: Dermoscopy has evolved over the years beyond distinguishing benign pigmented lesions from melanoma to diagnosing virtually all diseases in dermatology. Overwhelming evidence demonstrates its utility in improving diagnostic accuracy, reducing unnecessary biopsies and lesion monitoring. Dermoscopy is widely used in Western nations, hence most descriptions of lesions in literature are predominantly on Fitzpatrick skin types I-III.

Article Synopsis
- - Menkes disease (MD) is a rare genetic disorder that primarily affects boys, leading to severe neurological issues and high mortality, especially within the first three years of life due to copper distribution problems.
- - A key characteristic of MD is hair shaft dysplasia, specifically a condition called pili torti, which becomes more visible in the first year of life and can be detected with microscopic examination.
- - This report highlights a case where trichoscopy (using a dermatoscope) proved to be more effective than traditional light microscopy in identifying the hair shaft defects associated with MD in a Hispanic male infant.

Objectives: Nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) is the current gold standard for detection and quantification of capillary abnormalities in Raynaud's phenomenon (RP). The objective of this study is to evaluate the role of dermatoscopy as a further screening tool in RP.
Methods: Nailfold capillaries of RP patients were examined by a hand-held non-contact polarised dermatoscope connected to the digital camera (D1) and connected to an iPad (D2).
