There have been no reports as to the link between dermoscopic observations and disease activity in ashy dermatosis. We herein report two cases of ashy dermatosis displaying on dermoscopy the so‐called Wagyu beef‐like pattern, consisting of pigmentation on skin rete ridges and brown dots. Ashy dermatosis histologic features may change according to the clinical activity of the eruption; both of our cases were deemed to be in late stages, histopathologically characterized by dermal melanin incontinence without vacuolization of the basal cell layer. The present cases suggest that the Wagyu beef‐like appearance can be seen even in late stages of activity in ashy dermatosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
