A dermatological examination with dermoscopy is a specialized consultation performed by a dermatologist using a specific instrument called a dermoscope.<\/p>

Dermoscopy, also known as dermatoscopy, is a non-invasive, painless, and comfortable diagnostic procedure.

<\/p>

It involves microscopic examination of the skin surface using magnification and light to reveal morphological structures\u2014primarily pigment changes\u2014that are not visible to the naked eye. This method was originally developed three decades ago to distinguish between benign and malignant skin tumors, especially melanoma. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Dermoscopy is a very simple and quick examination, lasting from just a few minutes to half an hour. It is carried out using a handheld device called a dermoscope, which typically resembles a magnifying glass and provides up to 10x magnification. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Types of Dermoscopy <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Modern dermoscopy often uses polarized light dermoscopes, which allow examination without direct skin contact or the need for gels, mineral oils, or water. <\/p>

Digital dermoscopy uses adapters that connect the dermoscope to a camera, enabling enhanced magnification and digital image storage. This allows dermatologists to track changes over time by comparing images during follow-up visits.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
