Diascopy is a test for blanchability performed by applying pressure with a finger or glass slide and observing color changes. It is used to determine whether a lesion is vascular, nonvascular (nevus), or hemorrhagic. Hemorrhagic lesions and nonvascular lesions do not blanch; inflammatory lesions do. Diascopy is sometimes used to identify sarcoid skin lesions, which, when tested, turn an apple jelly color.
