Dermatoscopy - initial diagnosis of skin lesions

Some skin lesions should be examined using a dermatoscope before removal. It is an optical device that magnifies 10 - 20 times, with side illumination, which allows to obtain a "three-dimensional image" of the skin.

The purpose of the dermatoscope examination is to initially differentiate skin conditions, e.g. pigmented moles, malignant melanoma, blue nevus, seborrheic wart, hemangioma and many others.
