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.

This chapter provides an introductory overview of arthropods that are medically important to humans. The authors describe the anatomy and physiology of various arthropods, including insects, spiders and mites, and discuss their role in transmitting diseases to humans. They also provide guidance on identifying and managing arthropod bites, stings and infestations. The chapter includes information on the clinical presentation, diagnosis and management of common arthropod‐related conditions, such as lice, scabies and bed bug infestations. The authors emphasise the importance of a thorough patient history and physical examination in the diagnosis of arthropod‐related conditions, and provide practical advice on prevention and treatment. Overall, this chapter serves as a useful resource for medical doctors and dermatologists who encounter patients with arthropod‐related conditions in their practice.
