| Dermoscopy is a rapidly expanding imaging technique that has caught the fancy of clinicians and patients alike. New observations are still being made to open exciting opportunities for clinical research. This is the revised and updated 2nd edition of Dermoscopy, Trichoscopy and Onychoscopy in Diseases of the Pigmented Skin: An Atlas and Short Text. Several new chapters have been added and some are completely rewritten by experts in this field. The authors have taken efforts to introduce new dermoscopic images to cover recently described signs and conditions. This should make it instructive to go through this update. |
