digital dermoscopy

Digital dermoscopy is a non-invasive imaging technique used by dermatologists to examine skin lesions, especially moles, in detail. It involves using a specialized camera combined with a magnifying device to capture high-resolution images. These images reveal minute structures and patterns not visible to the naked eye, helping doctors detect changes that could indicate skin cancer early. Digital dermoscopy also allows for storing images over time, making it easier to monitor any growth or changes in skin lesions, thereby aiding in accurate diagnosis and management without the need for immediate biopsy.
