“…Central crusts or ulceration indicate epidermal necrosis, while the white peripheral halo corresponds to epidermal hyperplasia, mixed inflammatory infiltrate, and dermal edema. Perilesional erythema or pink round structures represent ballooning degeneration of keratinocytes and non‐viable keratinocytes 18,25–28 . The clinical, dermoscopic features and the clinical and histological correlation of representative cutaneous lesions of human poxviridae infection were summarized in Table 1.…”

Interestingly, the dermoscopic features with a lack of vascular structures, intensely whitish hue, and pink round structures may be a specific pattern or clues in assistance to identifying mpox in the vesicular and pustular stages.…”

Poxviruses belong to the Poxviridae family, a group of pathogens known for their high infectivity in humans, posing significant health threats. One of the most well‐known representatives of poxvirus infections is smallpox, which has been successfully eradicated. However, in recent years, there has been a resurgence in cases of mpox, another member of the Poxviridae family, raising concerns about the potential for a global pandemic or a worldwide health crisis. While the typical clinical presentation of mpox and other poxvirus infections often involves cutaneous lesions, there have been reports of various atypical and non‐classic clinical manifestations. Dermoscopy has emerged as a crucial diagnostic tool, aiding dermatologists in clinical practice to make informed decisions. In this summary, we provide an overview of the clinical and dermoscopic features of representative cutaneous lesions associated with human poxvirus infections, including mpox, orf, milker's nodule, and molluscum contagiosum.

“…An additional non-invasive diagnostic tool that dermatologists have at their disposal is dermoscopy, already used in various non-neoplastic, inflammatory and infectious dermatoses, to integrate anamnestic findings and clinical examination. Dermoscopy can be helpful when we observe skin lesions similar to that of MPXV infection, showing a recurrent and quite specific pattern with central ulceration-crust, white peripheral halo, pink round structures and surrounding erythema [ 6 , 7 ].…”
