RESUMEN
The diverse world of dermatology has a wealth of protracted and at times tenuous names encompassing disease conditions, characteristic clinical descriptions and signs, among others. Many dermatological entities are identified by toponyms or place names. Although some sound irrelevant and archaic (with only historical importance reminding us of the lively history of the subject), other terminologies aid in easy recollection. In this review, we have succinctly summarized various toponymous description in dermatology covering diseases, signs, scales, criteria and treatments.

Dermatology is a specialty that relies a lot on the visual aspect of clinical diagnosis. Taking photographs of skin lesions is a routine part of clinical practice. They are used to document skin changes during the course of treatment. It is useful for publishing articles in academic journals and textbooks, and serves as a teaching aid. Images are an important form of patient data. Like all patient data, the need for ensuring confidentiality and security is of paramount importance. Keeping all this in mind, it is important to know how to store, backup and archive your images in a safe and efficient manner.
