“…Some noninvasive tests have been applied in an attempt to improve diagnostic specificity, including reflectance confocal microscopy, ultrasound, and conventional as well as high‐definition optical coherence tomography . So far, only one previous paper has reported the use of dermoscopy in the assessment of reactions to patch tests . This is rather surprising, as the dermatoscope, unlike other diagnostic devices, is a universal tool, very familiar to dermatologists and available in almost any outpatient setting.…”

“…Table summarizes and compares the dermoscopic features of allergic (all allergic and only weak allergic, ie, + reactions) and irritant patch test reactions (both irritant reactions captured from patients and those induced by SLS in healthy volunteers). Dermoscopy of allergic reactions as a whole, regardless of their clinical scores, was similar to our previous study . Selectively considering the weak allergic reactions, dermoscopic examination demonstrated vesicles in 36 (78.3%) cases, although they were not observable to the naked eye (OR = 323, 95% CI: 18.3‐5701, P < .001).…”
