Overview
Dermoscopic Examination
Dermoscopy is an advanced, non-invasive diagnostic technique that uses a specialised magnifying device (dermatoscope) to examine skin lesions and conditions in detail that is not visible to the naked eye. This technology significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy for pigmented lesions, skin tumours, hair disorders, and various other dermatological conditions. Dr. Neha Athalye is deeply passionate about dermoscopy and advanced diagnostic techniques, bringing a high level of expertise to every evaluation.
