Additional skin examination:~Wood’s Lamp: Produces long wave ultraviolet light(UVA). e.g. Vitiligo milky whiteTinea Versicolor goldenTinea Capitis (caused by microsporum) yellow greenErytherasma coral red
~Diascopy:you press with a glass slide .If there is red lesion and the redness dose not go away by this pressure this means extravasated blood i.e.purpura
~Dermatoscopy: Helpful to differentiate benign from malignant pigmented lesions.
