Dermatoscopy is performed in dermatology practice as a noninvasive technique for the differential diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions. This procedure can also be used for prognostic evaluation and monitoring response to treatment for several other disorders. Documenting these extended clinical applications, this second edition features new material on infections, parasitoses, nonpigmented skin lesions, and hair shaft disorders and inflammatory diseases. The book includes color illustration throughout, making it a handy guide for the dermatologist's daily practice.
