Entodermoscopy is one of the trends in dermatoscopic diagnosis of skin diseases, which describes specific signs of infectious and parasitic dermatoses. Current article presents a description and illustrations of the most common forms of fungal infection, including tinea capitis, herpes zoster, tuberculosis, leishmaniasis and tungiasis. Dermatoscopic examination is proposed to be used as an additional tool for evaluating the effectiveness of the therapy, allowing to control the restoration of the skin structure and its appendages in the treatment process more precisely.
