Dermoscopic diagnosis of notalgia paresthetica.

ABSTRACT

Dermoscopic examination is a very effective and practical method that significantly reduces the need for invasive diagnostic procedures in many skin diseases. Dermoscopic features of many cutaneous conditions have been well described, however, only one single case report has defined dermoscopic features of notalgia paresthetica so far. The clinical presentation of this entity can mimic many dermatological conditions including lichen simplex chronicus, cutaneous amyloidosis, and tinea versicolor. We tried to identify dermoscopic findings of the notalgia paresthetica, aiming to facilitate the diagnosis.
