Update on Pediatric Dermoscopy in Lighter Phototypes: Changes During the Evolution of the Diseases and Clues Predicting Response to Treatments

Dermoscopy is a noninvasive tool that enables the visualization of skin lesions with magnification, allowing for more accurate diagnosis. Over the years, it has evolved from a utility in differentiation between malignant and benign neoplasms to administration in the vascular, inflammatory, and infectious dermatoses. Dermoscopy is a very important diagnostic tool, especially in pediatric patients, due to its noninvasive and painless character. It not only enables the correct diagnosis but also may provide some prognostic clues, and after the treatment, it allows the dermatologist to observe the progress of therapy. The review aims at the discussion of the use of dermoscopy in the management of pediatric non‐neoplastic dermatoses, namely, differential diagnosis, prognosis assessment, adjusting the treatment, and therapy outcome monitoring.
