In seborrheic dermatitis thin arborizing vessels, atypical vessel and yellowish interfollicular scaling are mainly observed (13).
Yellow, interfollicular scaling in patient with seborrheic dermatitis.
The examination of [skin lesions] with a 'dermatoscope'. This traditionally consists of a magnifier (typically x10), a non-polarised light source, a transparent plate and a liquid medium between the instrument and the skin, and allows inspection of skin lesions unobstructed by skin surface reflections. Modern dermatoscopes dispense with the use of liquid medium and instead use polarised light to cancel out skin surface reflections.
