Clinical previews

Conditions at a glance.

A sample of teaching cards. Full content, quizzes and case simulations arrive with the DermVersity Learning Platform.

Erythema in darker skin

Subtle violaceous or grey hues replace the classic redness — easily missed when textbooks default to lighter skin.

Symptoms

  • Warmth
  • Swelling
  • Violaceous discoloration
  • Tenderness on palpation

Diagnostic notes

Compare with contralateral skin · palpate for warmth · review systemic context · consider lighting conditions.

Eczema across skin tones

Often appears grey, purple or hyperpigmented in darker skin, with prominent follicular accentuation.

Symptoms

  • Pruritus
  • Lichenification
  • Follicular papules
  • Post-inflammatory pigment change

Diagnostic notes

History of atopy · distribution flexural vs extensor · assess for secondary infection.

Meningococcal rash

Non-blanching petechiae may be harder to detect on darker skin — examine soles, palms, sclera and mucosa.

Symptoms

  • Fever
  • Headache
  • Photophobia
  • Non-blanching rash

Diagnostic notes

Tumbler test under good lighting · examine mucosal surfaces · do not delay empirical treatment.
