Dermatoskópiával

Dermatoskópiával is the Hungarian term for dermatoscopy. Dermatoscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic technique used by medical professionals, particularly dermatologists, to examine skin lesions. It involves the use of a dermatoscope, a handheld magnifying device equipped with a light source and a lens. This illumination can be polarized or non-polarized, and often includes a liquid medium like immersion oil or alcohol to improve visualization by reducing light scattering and creating a clear interface between the skin and the lens.

The primary purpose of dermatoscopy is to enhance the visibility of subsurface skin structures that are not apparent to the naked eye. This allows for the detection of specific patterns and features within skin lesions, such as pigmented networks, dots, globules, and blue-white structures. These dermoscopic features are crucial for differentiating benign moles from malignant melanomas and other skin cancers, as well as for assessing inflammatory skin conditions and infections.

Dermatoscopy significantly improves diagnostic accuracy, especially in the early detection of melanoma. By visualizing these subtle characteristics, clinicians can make more informed decisions about whether a lesion requires further investigation, such as a biopsy. It is a widely adopted tool in clinical practice and is considered an essential skill for dermatologists.
