AB The  dermatoscope  is  to  the  skin  as  the  otoscope  is  to  the  ear.  Once  you  have  examined  the  ear  with  an  otoscope,  it  is  hard  to  imagine  examining  the  ear  without  one.  The  same  is  true  for  the  dermatoscope  and  the  skin.  The  dermatoscope  allows  you  to  see  into  the  skin  and  make  diagnoses  with  greater  accuracy  and  confidence.  The  dermatoscope  was  originally  used  and  studied  to  better  diagnose  skin  cancers,  but  its  use  has  been  expanded  into  all  aspects  of  dermatology  including  the  diagnosis  of  scabies,  alopecia,  nail  disorders,  and  inflammatory  skin  diseases.
