Pigmented linear discoid lupus erythematosus following the lines of Blaschko: A retrospective study of a Chinese series
Conclusion: Pigmented linear discoid lupus erythematosus mostly occurs on the head and neck. It manifests as brownish macules along the lines of Blaschko. Differentiation between pigmented linear discoid lupus erythematosus and other dermatoses that have a linear distribution can be difficult both clinically and pathologically, but histological details can help distinguish them.

Nonsegmental vitiligo follows Blaschko & #39;s lines and embryonic pigmentary segments
Conclusion: Distributional pattern of the individual nonsegmental vitiligo patches along the Blaschko's lines and embryonic pigmentary segments suggests that mosaicism might control the susceptibility to the disease process in a patterned manner. Limitation: No genetic testing could be performed to confirm the hypothesis. Evaluation of nonsegmental vitiligo was done only on the face and neck areas.

Nail dermoscopy (onychoscopy) findings in the diagnosis of primary onychomycosis: A cross-sectional study
Conclusions: Many onychoscopic features are highly specific for different variants of onychomycosis so onychoscopy may serve as an important and quick adjunct to diagnose onychomycosis until other time-consuming investigations, such as culture and periodic acid–Schiff become available. Studies on a larger population will help arrive at a logistic conclusion. (Source: Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology)
