Dermoscopy as a useful supportive tool for the diagnosis of pityriasisamiantacea-like tinea capitis Clinical distinction between pityriasisamiantacea-like tinea capitis and pityriasisamiantacea due to noninfectious inflammatory diseases is a troublesome task, with a significant likelihood of diagnostic errors/delays and prescription of inappropriate therapies. We report a case of pityriasisamiantacea-like tinea capitis with its dermoscopic findings in order to highlight the usefulness of dermoscopy in improving the recognition of such a condition.
