Introduction
Dermatoscopy, also known as dermoscopy, is a non-invasive diagnostic technique used to examine skin lesions, moles, and pigmented spots in detail beyond what is visible to the naked eye.
By using specialized magnification and polarized light, dermatoscopy allows dermatologists to detect early signs of skin cancer, including melanoma, and to distinguish benign lesions from suspicious ones with high accuracy.
