Review of dermoscopic features in hypopigmentary disorders.

ABSTRACT

Dermoscopy has seen increased utilisation in the diagnosis of hypopigmentary disorders. As a quick and effective adjunct to the clinician's toolbox, dermoscopy offers the opportunity to differentiate between hypopigmentary lesions that ostensibly present with clinically similar morphology on the macroscopic scale. The focus of this article is to review the various dermoscopic signs and patterns that have been elucidated for these disorders.
