The lesions were initially observed clinically and then under a dermoscope (Dermlite 4, 3GEN Inc., San Juan Capistrano, CA, USA).

The most common dermoscopic feature of scabies was a jet wing with a contrail, whereas scaling, red-brown, and grey-brown dots and globules were observed in tinea cruris. Of the non-infectious dermatoses, contact dermatitis and vitiligo were the most common. Dermoscopy revealed irregular-dotted vessels and white structureless areas in cases of contact dermatitis. An absent pigment network and white structureless areas with leukotrichia and white glow were seen in vitiligo, which helped differentiate it from nevus depigmentosus.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Limitations:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Single-center study with a limited sample size for each condition and histopathological confirmation could not be performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study highlights the dermoscopic features of diaper dermatoses and demonstrates the potential of dermoscopy to enhance diagnostic accuracy and optimize patient care without invasive investigations, underscoring its unique role in pediatric dermatology.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/idoj.idoj_154_24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,27]],"date-time":"2024-11-27T03:03:19Z","timestamp":1732676599000},"page":"87-93","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Dermoscopic Features of Diaper Dermatoses in Children: A Descriptive Pilot Study"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Neha","family":"Dhawan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprosy, Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Shahana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprosy, Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mudiam","family":"Nagaswetha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprosy, Gandhi Medical College, Secundarabad, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rama M.","family":"Cheedirala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprosy, Gandhi Medical College, Secundarabad, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sudharani","family":"Chintagunta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprosy, Gandhi Medical College, Secundarabad, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.
