A biopsy is often required to obtain a definitive diagnosis, although it is barely accepted by patients. Reflectance confocal microscopy (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">RCM<\/jats:styled-content>), that provides a real\u2010time, en face imaging of the epidermis and upper dermis, is currently utilized for the diagnosis of some neoplastic and inflammatory skin diseases. The aim of this study was to analyze the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">RCM<\/jats:styled-content> handheld findings of some common balanitis and to correlate them with dermatoscopy and
