Full syndrome with skin lesions, mental retardation, and epilepsy with an onset before 5 years of age presents few problems, however there is wide variation in the age of onset and in the severity of skin lesions (angiofibromas, periungual fibroma, shagreen patch, and ash-leaf macules) making the diagnosis difficult. FAs are sometimes overlooked, being confined to the naso-labial folds or chin. Clinical differentiation from trichoepitheliomas, trichofolliculomas, trichilemmomas, dermal melanocytic nevi, acne vulgaris, and syringoma can be challenging, further requiring histopathological examination. Dermoscopy can obviate the need of biospy preventing further disfigurement of the patient’s face. Here we report characteristic dermoscopy findings of FAs in 4 TSC patients of skin of color.

Indian market is replete with triple combination creams containing TCS sold as over-the-counter products at low cost, luring people to use them without prescription. The resultant damage if detected late is irreversible and difficult to treat. Dermoscopy can help in the early identification of features of TSDF at a preclinical stage resulting in better prognosis. However, the literature on the same is limited. Aims: This study is undertaken to characterize dermoscopic features of TSDF and to correlate them with potency and duration of application of the TCS. Methods: One hundred and thirty-two patients aged 18 years or above, with clinical symptoms and signs suggestive of TSDF and with history of application of TCS on the face for a period of more than one month, were enrolled in the study. Their demographic details, clinical feature...
