Abstract
Insects can cause a variety of dermatological problems ranging from asymptomatic cutaneous pigmentation to life threatening anaphylaxis. The pigmentation caused by burrowing bug, is oval to bizarre in shape, brown-black in colour, seen mainly over exposed areas. There are handful of case reports describing the dermoscopic features of Cydnidae pigmentation. We have tried to summarise all the literature available on clinical and dermoscopic details of Cydnidae pigmentation.
