Article Synopsis
- Wood's light (WL) is an effective and inexpensive diagnostic tool, but its usage is not very common among dermatologists.
- In conditions like porokeratosis and various pigmentary disorders, WL shows specific fluorescence patterns that help in diagnosis, such as the "diamond necklace" sign for porokeratosis and bluish fluorescence for vitiligo.
- WL is also valuable in identifying skin infections with distinct fluorescence colors, and it aids in determining surgical margins for certain skin cancers, although results can vary.
