Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic cutaneous fungal infection commonly caused by Fonsacea and Cladophialophora spp. Dermoscopy is a non–invasive, real-time diagnostic tool for rapid bedside diagnosis of various inflammatory and non-inflammatory disorders and can be an excellent modality for evaluation of cutaneous mycosis, for which it shows characteristic brown dots, crust, scales and yellow orange structures.
