Wood\u2019s lamp, a common diagnostic tool in dermatology, is typically employed to assess vitiligo lesions, revealing DHA-induced fluorescence in a distinct salmon color, contrasting with the bright blue-white fluorescence exhibited by vitiligo lesions. Erythrasma, a bacterial infection of the epidermis, is known for its unique bright coral-pink or coral-red fluorescence under Wood\u2019s lamp. We present a case involving a 9-year-old girl who was initially diagnosed with erythrasma upon Wood\u2019s lamp examination. Subsequent investigation revealed the use of vitiligo camouflage makeup infused with DHA, resulting in a fluorescence pattern similar to erythrasma under Wood\u2019s lamp scrutiny. The awareness of mimicking agents like DHA is crucial for accurate diagnoses and optimal patient outcomes. Clinicians, especially family physicians and dermatologists, are urged to exercise heightened scrutiny and maintain a keen awareness of such nuances in order to navigate through the intricacies posed by substances like dihydroxyacetone during diagnostic processes, as some may reveal similar appearances in mechanical diagnostic tools, such as Wood\u2019s lamp.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_508_24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,16]],"date-time":"2024-11-16T04:01:43Z","timestamp":1731729703000},"page":"5381-5384","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Salmon colored fluorescence on Wood\u2019s lamp in a pediatric patient with vitiligo: A case report"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Khalid Nabil","family":"Nagshabandi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, College of Medicine, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Asem","family":"Shadid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, King Fahad Medical City (KFMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lamia","family":"Alakresh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, King Fahad Medical City (KFMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20250129","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"402","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2008.03356.x","article-title":"Dihydroxyacetone:A safe camouflaging option in vitiligo","volume":"47","author":"Rajatanavin","year":"2008","journal-title":"Int J Dermatol"},{"key":"R2-20250129","first-page":"25","article-title":"Revealing the unseen:A review of Wood's lamp in dermatology","volume":"15","author":"Dyer","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Clin Aesthet Dermatol"},{"key":"R3-20250129","first-page":"e10733","article-title":"Erythrasma revisited:Diagnosis, differential diagnoses, and comprehensive review of treatment","volume":"12","author":"Forouzan","year":"2020","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"key":"R4-20250129","first-page":"E13","article-title":"Erythrasma","volume":"71","author":"Masood","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Fam Pract"},{"key":"R5-20250129","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"894","DOI":"10.1126\/science.132.3431.894","article-title":"Staining of skin with dihydroxyacetone","volume":"132","author":"Wittgenstein","year":"1960","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"R6-20250129","first-page":"55","article-title":"Formulating effective self-tanners with DHA","volume":"109","author":"Kurz","year":"1994","journal-title":"Cosmetics and toiletries"},{"key":"R7-20250129","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"364","DOI":"10.4103\/0378-6323.16796","article-title":"Wood's lamp:A modified method of examination","volume":"71","author":"Veeranna","year":"2005","journal-title":"Indian J Dermatol Venereol Leprol"}],"container-title":["Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_508_24","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,18]],"date-time":"2026-08-18T15:38:08Z","timestamp":1787067488000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_508_24"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,11]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"11","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_508_24","relation":{},"ISSN":["2249-4863","2278-7135"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2249-4863","type":"print"},{"value":"2278-7135","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,11]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2024-03-28","name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-06-11","name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
