An uncommon skin manifestation of Dermatitis Herpetiformis is palmar and plantar purpura. Dermoscopic examination is useful for any skin condition since it allows recognition of structures that are not discernible to the naked eye.

Dermoscopy examination revealed erythematous and violaceous dots and erythematous and brown dots.
