Dermoscopy in Darker Skin

Description

Dermatoscopy (also known as dermoscopy or epiluminescence microscopy) is the examination of skin lesions with a 'dermatoscope'. This traditionally consists of a magnifier (typically x10), a non-polarised light source, a transparent plate and a liquid medium between the instrument and the skin, and allows inspection of skin lesions unobstructed by skin surface reflections. This book is a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis of skin disorders by dermoscopy. The book describes the technique and its use for different skin disorders and tumors, and more. Each case is highly illustrated with clinical photographs and diagrams, and includes a summary of the key features of the topic and dermoscopic clinical pearls. The book emphasizes on areas of dermoscopic practice, which are more relevant to the skin disorders. This book is a comprehensive set of images with descriptions and supporting text, prepared in a readily readable and understandable form for its ready application in day-to-day practice. This book grasps and keeps vital information, succinct text, and dynamic illustrations that facilitate learning in a highly visual approach. Physicians, researchers and students will find this book valuable.
