Healthy volunteers were patch tested with sodium lauryl sulfate as irritant controls. At the 72\u2010hour reading, patch test reactions were recorded both with a digital camera and a digital dermoscopic system. For each reaction, clinical and dermoscopic variables were separately assessed, scored, and then compared.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Erythema, vessels, and vesiculation were constant dermoscopic features of allergic reactions (n = 173).
