Dermoscopy Primer is a practical, image-rich atlas built for the busy outpatient clinic, covering 100 essential dermatological diagnoses — the conditions seen most often in daily practice and the ones that are most dermoscopically distinct.

Every condition is worked as a spread: the clinical description with its clinical photograph, then the dermoscopic description with the corresponding dermoscopic image and a hand-drawn dermoscopic silhouette that isolates the hallmark structures. All the cases presented are histopathologically confirmed, and the emphasis throughout is on dermoscopy in skin of color.

The approach is pattern recognition rather than terminology. The reader learns to take the overall appearance first — background colour, arrangement of pigmentation, scaling, follicular changes, vascular clues — and let the finer dermoscopic structures follow, building an intuitive approach to diagnosis.


  • Entries are grouped the way a clinic thinks — inflammatory, infectious, pigmentary, tumours, vascular, hair and nail — so a condition can be found by how the patient presents.
  • The hand-drawn silhouette beside each dermoscopic image marks the structures that actually carry the diagnosis, which makes the pattern learnable rather than memorisable.
  • Histopathological confirmation behind every case gives the correlation a robust diagnostic foundation and supports the stated aim of reducing overdependence on dermatopathology.
  • Trichoscopy, onychoscopy and nailfold capillaroscopy sit in the same volume, so scalp, nail and connective-tissue presentations are handled alongside skin.
  • A practical dermoscope selection guide compares handheld, UV and video instruments available in India, with approximate price ranges, before an instrument is bought.

Key Features:

  • 100 conditions across 8 parts and 15 sections, each pairing clinical features, dermoscopic description and clinico-dermoscopic correlation.
  • Hand-drawn dermoscopic silhouettes throughout, drawn to emphasise the hallmark structures of each condition.
  • Dedicated parts on trichoscopy (nonscarring and scarring alopecias), onychoscopy, and nailfold capillaroscopy covering systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis and systemic lupus erythematosus.
  • Complimentary online videos demonstrating dermoscope setup, polarized versus nonpolarized technique, contact and noncontact use, interface fluids, image capture and videodermoscopy basics.
  • An 'Expanding the Scope of Dermoscopy' part covering itraconazole pellet morphometry, CO2 laser spot quality and diode laser endpoint assessment, microneedling cartridge evaluation, dermoscopy–histopathology correlation in leprosy, and dermoscopic indicators of disease activity in vitiligo.
