Zusammenfassung:	Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides clinicians and researchers with micrometer‐resolution, in vivo, cross‐sectional images of human skin up to several millimeter depth. This review of OCT imaging applied within dermatology covers the application of OCT to normal skin, and reports on a large number of applications in the fields of non‐melanoma skin cancer, malignant melanomas, psoriasis and dermatitis, infestations, bullous skin diseases, tattoos, nails, haemangiomas, and other skin diseases.
