Abstract

Dermoscopy is the most recent noninvasive method that aidsin the early diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions by giving physiciansa more detailed view of the skin that is possible with the naked eye.Normally the skin appears opaque and thus underlying structurescannot be adequately examined .Dermoscopy allows physicians tovisualize structures underneath the stratum corneum and has beenshown to increase diagnostic facilities for malignant melanoma andother pigmented skin lesions.There are two types of dermatoscope : non digitaldermatoscope and digital dermatoscope.Non digital dermatoscope is usually a small hand-held skinsurface microscope with magnification fixed. It utilizes an incidentlight magnification system in combination with oil immersion at theskin dermatoscopic space. . The oil removes the normal scattering oflight at the stratum corneum rendering the epidermis translucent .The vasculature and pigmentary pattern of the dermoepidermaljunction can be examined clearly.
