We will cover the diagnosis of benign and malignant skin lesions
including the basics of dermoscopy using modified pattern analysis.
This will be less hard work if you’ve read a book or done an online
course first. The main thing is to use your dermatoscope frequently so you become familiar with the range of appearances of benign lesions. The aim of the course is for you to become more confident in recognising patterns of lines, dots, clods and structureless areas, thus reducing the numbers of unnecessary excisions of entirely benign lesions. Malignant skin lesions lack these patterns. Those with difficulty distinguishing red-green colours may be challenged by dermoscopic subtleties and will have to depend on identification of structures. Dermoscopy is more powerful if you routinely photograph lesions of concern, particularly those you plan to excise, follow up or refer. |
