Dermoscopy

Dermoscopy, also known as dermatoscopy or epiluminescence microscopy, is a non-invasive diagnostic technique used in dermatology to examine and evaluate skin lesions. It involves the use of a handheld device called a dermatoscope, which provides a magnified and illuminated view of the skin. Dermoscopy allows dermatologists to assess the surface and subsurface structures of skin lesions, aiding in the early detection and diagnosis of various skin conditions, including skin cancer. By examining specific features and patterns, dermatologists can differentiate between benign and malignant lesions, improving diagnostic accuracy and guiding appropriate treatment decisions.
