Dermoscopy

Dermoscopy

Dermoscopy is a non-invasive, diagnostic technique that allows for the magnified visualization of skin lesions, helping dermatologists accurately assess pigmented and non-pigmented skin conditions. At Ranchi Advance Skin Center, Dr. Pradeep Kumar uses state-of-the-art dermoscopy to improve diagnostic precision, especially in detecting early signs of skin cancers and other complex skin disorders.

Dermoscopy, also known as epiluminescence microscopy or skin surface microscopy, provides a clearer, more detailed look at the skin’s subsurface structures that are not visible to the naked eye. It enhances the ability to differentiate between benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) lesions.

This advanced tool is commonly used for:

  • Evaluating moles and pigmented lesions

  • Early detection of melanoma and other skin cancers

  • Diagnosing conditions like psoriasis, lichen planus, scabies, and fungal infections

  • Assessing hair and scalp disorders (trichoscopy)

  • Nail disorder evaluation (onychoscopy)

Dermoscopy is quick, painless, and extremely valuable in reducing the need for unnecessary biopsies. It helps in making real-time decisions about whether a lesion needs to be removed, monitored, or left alone. When combined with clinical expertise, dermoscopy greatly increases diagnostic accuracy and patient confidence.

At Ranchi Advance Skin Center, dermoscopy is a standard part of our skin check-ups, especially for patients with multiple moles, unusual skin growths, or a family history of skin cancer. Dr. Pradeep Kumar’s training and experience ensure that every dermoscopic evaluation is thorough, evidence-based, and tailored to the patient’s needs.

Early diagnosis saves lives. Schedule a dermoscopy screening today and take the first step toward proactive skin health with trusted care.
