[Shell567]

Line‐field confocal optical coherence tomography: a new tool for non‐invasive differential diagnosis of pustular skin disorders.

Diagnosis of pustular skin disorders (PSD) without biopsy.

"The new LC‐OCT can represent a rapid, non‐invasive and painless tool which can help differentiating among PSD of different aetiology and microscopic morphology in clinical mimickers in daily practice."

LC-OCT has been used to diagnose pustular skin disorders, including a form of Sweet's syndrome called vesicopustular Sweet's syndrome (Sweet's syndrome where small spots are filled with fluid or pus). pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/356...
