A dermascope is a great aid for evaluating pigmented skin lesions. Helping to set aside innocent examples and to accurately diagnose issues ranging from seborrhoeic keratoses, to melanoma.
An experienced specialist can often identify cancerous symptoms by eye but a dermascope adds an e clarity of colour and structure that would be impossible for the naked eye, or a basic microscope to see.
Peace of mind from a positive diagnosis is welcome, referrals for further treatment, or examination are reduced, as is unnecessary cutting of the skin.
In cases where there is a problem, this becomes evident and prompt treatment can follow. Dermoscopy may continue to help during treatment, an aid to mapping progress and establishing the all clear.
