18 How do we differentiate benign from malignant? The Skin Clinic Marlborough

19 Dermoscopy / Dermatoscopy The Skin Clinic Marlborough

20 Dermoscopy Allows visualisation of skin architecture not able to be seen with the naked eye. Dramatically improves ability to diagnose early skin cancer and benign lesions The Skin Clinic Marlborough
