Abstract

Epiluminescence dermoscopy was developed mainly for the diagnoses of melanoma and other skin cancers. This technology is also being increasingly applied for the diagnoses of other cutaneous diseases. With rising popularity and availability, dermoscopes are taking up other roles. We discussed how dermoscopes facilitate education and counselling for patients and parents of patients, modify health-related behaviour, clinical research, and dermoscope-guided operations and procedures.
