dermoscopic features

Dermoscopy is a non-invasive skin imaging technique that reveals details beneath the surface of skin lesions, helping identify benign or suspicious moles and growths. Features examined include color variations, patterns, and structures such as dots, lines, or network-like patterns. For example, regular, symmetrical patterns often indicate benign lesions, while irregular colors or asymmetrical structures may suggest malignancy. Recognizing these features assists dermatologists in early detection and accurate diagnosis of skin conditions, including skin cancer, by providing a clearer view of the lesion’s internal details that are not visible to the naked eye.
