Editor's Highlights—August 2026

ABSTRACT

Noninvasive imaging techniques are playing an increasingly significant role in dermatologic diagnosis, risk evaluation, and the monitoring of therapeutic outcomes. In the August issue of the Journal , we highlight how dermoscopy, onychoscopy, trichoscopy, and line‐field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC‐OCT) can refine clinical decision‐making across acral melanocytic lesions, onycholysis, primary cicatricial alopecia, and hyperkeratotic actinic keratoses. These papers show that imaging is most useful when tailored to anatomical and clinical context, advancing standardized and clinically actionable imaging approaches.
