Dermatoscopy as a noninvasive diagnostic tool is not only useful in the differentiation of malignant and benign skin tumors, but is also effective in the diagnosis of inflammatory, infiltrative and infectious dermatoses. As a result, the need for diagnostic punch biopsies in dermatoses could be reduced. Hereby the selection of affected skin areas is essential. The diagnostic accuracy is independent of the skin type. Helpful dermatoscopic features include vessels morphology and distribution, scales colors and distribution, follicular findings, further structures such as colors and morphology as well as specific clues. The dermatoscopic diagnosis is made based on the descriptive approach in clinical routine, teaching and research. In all clinical and dermatoscopic diagnoses that remain unclear, a punch biopsy with histopathology should be performed. The dermatoscope should be cleaned after every examination according to the guidelines.

Abstract
Dermatoscopy as a noninvasive diagnostic tool is not only useful in the differentiation of malignant and benign skin tumors, but is also effective in the diagnosis of inflammatory, infiltrative and infectious dermatoses. As a result, the need for diagnostic punch biopsies in dermatoses could be reduced. Hereby the selection of affected skin areas is essential. The diagnostic accuracy is independent of the skin type. Helpful dermatoscopic features include vessels morphology and distribution, scales colors and distribution, follicular findings, further structures such as colors and morphology as well as specific clues. The dermatoscopic diagnosis is made based on the descriptive approach in clinical routine, teaching and research. In all clinical and dermatoscopic diagnoses that remain unclear, a punch biopsy with histopathology should be performed. The dermatoscope should be cleaned after every examination according to the guidelines.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
