Description: Dermoscopy non-polarised. The dermal collagen is not as obvious as in the polarised view.
History: Dermatofibromas can vary in colour from pink papules to black papules depending on the degree of irritation of the overlying melanocytes. Clinically the lesion is recognised by tethering down of the surface when lateral pressure is applied and by the firm dermal fibrous tissue.
