Post kala azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) is a well-known sequela of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) developing either spontaneously or after treatment. Clinical presentation of PKDL include facial erythema, discrete papules, hypopigmented macules, or nodular lesions which are progressive in nature and very rarely heal spontaneously.1 There is a single report describing the dermoscopic features in PKDL, of which yellow tears and erythema were the prominent features.2 Herein we describe dermoscopic features of PKDL lesions in two of our patients which will be an addition to the growing literature of dermoscopy.
