Abstract

UVF dermoscopy (UVFD) is a new visualization method that is increasingly used for many different superficial dermatological conditions. In patients with widespread actinic changes in the face, actinic keratosis and solar lentigo may develop, and the risk of superficial actinic keratosis may also increase. We aimed to emphasize the use of UVF dermoscopy as a practical method for distinguishing superficial actinic porokeratosis from actinic keratosis as reporting this case.
