Dermatoscopy is a relevant diagnostic tool for inflammatory diseases of the skin that aids not only in diagnosis, but also in monitoring the response to treatment. The inflammatory diseases show dermoscopic patterns involving the vessels, scales, follicles, background hue, and special clues. This review aims to provide an overview on the use of dermoscopy in inflammatory dermatoses based on the available literature and the deviation from it in the skin of color (SOC) as there is paucity of literature in dermoscopy of inflammatory disorders in SOC. The dermatoscopic patterns in most of the inflammatory diseases in SOC are similar to that of white skin, with pigmentary changes being the prominent dermoscopic findings while vascular patterns and erythema being less evident.
皮肤镜检查是诊断皮肤炎症性疾病的一种重要工具，不仅有助于诊断，还能监测治疗反应。炎症性疾病呈现出涉及血管、鳞屑、毛囊、背景色调及特殊线索的皮肤镜特征。由于关于色素沉着皮肤炎症性疾病的皮肤镜检查文献较少，本综述旨在基于现有文献及色素沉着皮肤与该文献的差异，概述皮肤镜在炎症性皮肤病中的应用。色素沉着皮肤中大多数炎症性疾病的皮肤镜特征与白色皮肤相似，色素沉着改变是主要的皮肤镜表现，而血管形态和红斑则不那么明显。
