Assessment of the colors of the melanin pigment in acral compound nevus by using a novel dermoscopy technique with surgical light illumination and saturation analysis

 Introduction On dermoscopy, the amount and location of melanin pigment can be assessed on the basis of its colors, ranging from black, brown to blue-gray. However, accurately recognizing a variety of melanin colors is sometimes difficult because the color of melanin pigment might change accordi...
