Abstract: Dermoscopy performed on molluscum contagiosum lesions proved superior to dermatological examination even in cases in which clinical diagnosis was difficult. The presence of orifices, vessels and specific vascular patterns aids diagnosis, including differential diagnosis with other types of skin lesion.

“…The dermatoscope is a useful tool for identifying the vascular pattern of MC. One study reported that roughly 89% of MC lesions had some type of vascular pattern which could be classified into one of four Sir,groups: crown, punctiform, radial, and mixed [4]. Sebaceous hyperplasia, has its own unique dermoscopic features including a characteristic milky, cloud-like raised globular structure with asymmetric borders and a variable vascular pattern that can be branching or nonbranching [5].…”
