“…Dermoscopy of tinea nigra has been extensively investigated by several studies [ 112 – 127 ], with the typical pattern consisting of homogeneous, fine, wispy pigmented spicules distributed either irregularly or in a reticular arrangement without following dermatoglyphics (Fig. 5 b) [ 112 – 121 ]. Such spicules have been reported to represent pigmented hyphae in the stratum corneum [ 123 ].…”

Over the last three decades, the use of dermoscopy has been extended to inflammatory and infectious dermatoses. Regarding the latter, while the first applications concerned skin parasitoses, there has been a significant increase in the publication trend regarding nonparasitic dermatoses over recent years, yet data on this topic are sparse and often lack a standardized analytical approach. This systematic literature review summarizes published data on dermoscopy of bacterial, viral, and fungal dermatoses (dermoscopic findings, used setting, pathological correlation, and level of evidence of studies) and provides a homogeneous terminology of reported dermoscopic features according to a standardized methodology. A total of 152 papers addressing 43 different dermatoses and describing 184 different dermoscopic findings were included in the analysis. The majority of them displayed a level of evidence of V (107 single case reports and 40 case series), with only 5 studies showing a level of evidence of IV (case–control studies). Moreover, our analysis also underlined a high variability in the terminology used in published articles (even for the same dermatosis). Therefore, despite significant potential, future studies designed according to a systematic and standardized approach are required for a better characterization of dermoscopy of nonparasitic skin infections.

“…Prevalence is higher in the tropics given high salt concentration aiding in the growth of the halophilic fungus. Dormant immune response to relatively hypoimmunogenic fungal elements portends a chronic asymptomatic infection . Clinically, tinea nigra presents as pigmented macules without scaling, erythema, or induration.…”
