Dermatoscopy is a procedure that uses a dermatoscope to examine skin lesions. Dermatologists utilize the device to differentiate benign tumours from malignant (cancerous) lesions, particularly in the diagnosis of melanoma. To balance out the skin surface reflection, modern dermatoscopes employ liquid medium and polarised light. Using a digital epiluminescence dermatoscope, the photos or videos are digitally processed. DermLite, the first polarised dermatoscope, was launched by 3Gen and permits imaging of skin features using an immersion solution. When compared to a glass dermatoscope, the easy manner of detection and picture optimization provided an advantage in vascular pattern identification. However, recent advancements in dermatoscope technology enable imaging at the cellular and vascular levels, paving the door for early cancer identification and therapy
