Diascopy

Diascopy is a simple procedure which will sometimes provide useful additional information for diagnosis of certain skin diseases such as in lupus vulgaris that shows distinctive yellowish, reddish brown apple jelly nodules.

A glass slide or a clear plastic tongue depressor is pressed firmly on the lesion. The temporary exclusion of blood clearly reveals the presence and sometimes the probable nature of dermal changes.

Diascopy: Diascopy is used to distinguish between hemorrhagic and inflammatory lesions. A microscope slide is pressed against a lesion to see whether it blanches. Hemorrhagic lesions (petechiae or purpura) do not blanch; inflammatory lesions do. Diascopy is sometimes used to distinguish epidermal lesions from dermal nodules; epidermal lesions disappear, while dermal nodules remain and may turn an “apple jelly” color.

agree  Raquel Dominguez: Yes, it´s vitropressure because there was a typo in the original (it should have been "vitropresión"). Personally I would prefer "torso", I feel it´s more usual.
