Digital dermatoscopy full body (20–100 lesions) – primary care dermatologist

Full body digital dermoscopy, performed by a board-certified dermatologist, is an advanced dermatological investigation used for comprehensive skin evaluation and detailed analysis of a large number of skin lesions (20–100). This method is particularly recommended for patients who present with numerous moles or pigmented lesions, as well as those with increased risk of skin cancer.

Dermoscopy is a non-invasive and painless technique that uses a special device called a dermoscope to examine skin structures that cannot be observed with the naked eye. Through digital image capture, dermoscopic images are recorded, which allows comparison and monitoring of lesion evolution over time.

During full body dermoscopy, the dermatologist carefully examines the entire integument and analyzes the characteristics of each lesion to differentiate benign lesions from those requiring monitoring or further investigation.

The investigation is useful for the evaluation of:

• moles (pigmented nevi)
• suspicious pigmented lesions
• seborrheic keratoses
• other skin formations

Digital dermoscopy is an important method for early diagnosis of skin cancer, including melanoma, and for monitoring patients with multiple moles or skin lesions.

Following evaluation, the dermatologist may recommend periodic monitoring of lesions, follow-up dermoscopies, dermatological treatment, or removal of suspicious lesions, when necessary.
