Abstract
“The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.”
The term “sign” refers to an objective physical finding observed by the examiner. In dermatology, the diagnosis mainly depends on the examiner and certain physical signs serve as an important clue to diagnosis of the disease. The objective of this review is to bring to light certain lesser-known signs in dermatology.
