PY - 2019 T2 - The Color Atlas and Synopsis of Family Medicine, 3e 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.
