What is This Dermatological Disease?
Abstract
Dermoscopy is a non-invasive technique, which is increasingly used in the diagnosis of many dermatological diseases. Dermoscopy may be a helpful tool in the diagnostic process of the subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE). Dermatoscopy of SCLE has been reported in several cases. Dermatoscopic examination may provide helpful clues in differentiating SCLE from other differential diagnoses including pityriasis rosea, psoriasis, granuloma annulare, and mycosis fungoides.
