“…A literature search identified five case reports concerning phthiriasis palpebrarum diagnosed in dermoscopic examination. Dermoscopy revealed crab lice and/or nits on the eyelashes and eyelids 20,21,22,23,24 . What is more, there was clotted blood, semitranslucent lodgments in the superior eyelid margin, and red‐brown feces observed on the eyelids 23,24 …”

“… 47–65 Albeit size of body lice is bigger than head lice, their morphology is similar with an elongated body, three pairs of clawed legs and narrow anterior mouthparts, while pubic lice is typified by a short broad body with large middle and hind legs, and thick crab‐like claws 47–65 . Dermoscopic examination may also help distinguish viable from empty nits as the former look brown, ovoid with convex ending, while the latter appear translucent with a plane and fissured free ending 47–65 . Additionally, abortive nits (typified by a contracted embryo and surrounding void space, with or without nit wall introflection) may also be seen 47–65 .…”

Besides classic applications, dermoscopy has gained significant appreciation also for non‐tumoral dermatoses (general dermatology). In this field, skin parasitoses (infestations), bites and stings have been reported among the conditions that may benefit most from dermoscopic examination. However, published data on this topic are sparse and often lack a standardized analytical approach. In this systematic review of the literature, we sought to summarize available data on dermoscopy of cutaneous parasitoses, bites and stings, analysing dermoscopic features and used setting (polarization or not/magnification), pathological correlation and level of evidence of published studies as well as trying to align dermoscopic terminology of reported findings following a standardized methodology. A total of 150 publications addressing 29 different dermatoses and reporting 96 different dermoscopic findings were included in the analysis. Most of them displayed a level of evidence of V (113 single case reports and 36 case series), with only one study featuring a level of evidence of IV (case–control study). Additionally, our analysis also displayed poor uniformity in the terminology used in published articles (even for the same dermatosis). Therefore, albeit promising, dermoscopy of cutaneous parasitoses, bites and stings needs future systematized studies for a better characterization.
