“…Those dots consisted of small hematic crusts, cellular debris and fungal structures [ 12 ]. This sign mainly represented the products of transepithelial elimination of the inflammatory response [ 21 ]. Therefore, we concluded that the blackish-red dot sign may be an indication for chronic infectious skin diseases, including candidal granuloma.…”

Candidal granuloma is a rare and refractory disease in clinical practice, usually reported in immunocompromised patients. We report a 57-year-old man who presented with candidal granuloma caused by Candida tropicalis. The diagnosis was confirmed according to histopathology and molecular identification. Prolonged duration of initial antifungal therapy did not obtain satisfactory improvement. Finally, the refractory disease was successfully treated by itraconazole and terbinafine in combination with hyperthermia and cryotherapy. The ''blackish-red dot'' dermoscopic sign of the verrucous granuloma gradually resolved during the treatment.

“…The blackish red dots correspond to the black dots observed clinically. These represent transepithelial elimination of the inflammatory cells and fungal elements along with hemorrhage [ 4 ]. This transepithelial elimination is thought to be an important defense mechanism in restricting the fungal infection.…”

Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic cutaneous fungal infection commonly caused by Fonsacea and Cladophialophora spp. Dermoscopy is a non-invasive, real-time diagnostic tool for rapid bedside diagnosis of various inflammatory and non-inflammatory disorders and can be an excellent modality for evaluation of cutaneous mycosis, for which it shows characteristic brown dots, crust, scales and yellow orange structures.
