Dermoscopy Update: Review of its Extradiagnostic and Expanding Indications and Future Prospects

The technique of dermoscopy has come a long way since its inception for characterization of suspicious nevi for early detection of dysplastic changes in predisposed individuals. Not only has its scope expanded to aid in quick diagnosis of a majority of nonmelanocytic disorders of the skin, hair, an...
