ATLAS OF GENITAL DERMOSCOPY Edited by Giuseppe Micali, MD and
Francesco Lacarrubba, MD Dermatology Clinic, University of Catania,
Italy Dermoscopy, a non-invasive modern tool to enhance the
diagnosis and monitoring of pigmented and non-pigmented skin
disorders, is particularly suitable for use in the genital area, in
which traditional invasive diagnostic procedures may be difficult
or painful for the patient. Dermatologists, family physicians, and
those involved in Sexual Health medicine will all benefit from this
atlas showing the applications of dermoscopy in several external
genital disorders both in males and females with large
high-resolution color photographs throughout. Contents: Fordyce's
spots * Pearly penile papules and vestibular papillae * Genital
warts * Molluscum contagiosum * Scabies* Pediculosis pubis *
Candidiasis * Lichen planus * Lichen sclerosus * Lichen simplex
chronicus * Zoon mucositis * Psoriasis * Vitiligo * Hidradenitis
suppurativa * Melanosis * Dowling-Degos disease * Angiokeratoma *

Disorders; Dermatoscopy of Conjunctival Lesions; Dermatoscopy in
Pediatric Dermatology; Dermatoscopy of Inflammatory Genital
Diseases: Practical Insights; Dermatoscopy in Brown Skin; and
Dermatoscopy and Reflectance Confocal Microscopy Correlations.
This atlas, containing a wealth of clinical and dermoscopic images,
describes and illustrates the applications of dermoscopy in a wide
variety of skin disorders that may be encountered in the pediatric
population. Key features and other salient aspects are highlighted
with the aim of enabling the clinician to reach a fast and reliable
diagnosis in all cases. Dermoscopy is a non-invasive technique that
allows rapid and magnified in vivo observation of the skin, with
visualization of morphologic features imperceptible to the naked
eye. Dermoscopy has revolutionized the approach to pigmented skin
lesions, greatly improving diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, over
the past few years it has been demonstrated to be very useful in
the diagnosis, follow-up, and therapeutic monitoring of a range of
other skin disorders, including cutaneous/mucosal infections,
ectoparasitoses, inflammatory diseases, and hair and nail
abnormalities. Being non-invasive, dermoscopy is particularly
suitable for use in the pediatric population, in which invasive
diagnostic procedures may be problematic.
Dermatoscopy has been heavily promoted to dermatologists as the
front line in detecting skin cancer early and easily. However, this
technology also has other uses in everyday dermatologic practice.
Dermatoscopy in Clinical Practice shows those already using the
equipment how they can extend its use beyond pigmented lesions and
exploit its full potential. Dermatoscopy and videodermatoscopy can
be used for differential diagnosis, prognostic evaluation, and
monitoring response to treatment of various disorders including
inflammatory diseases, parasitoses, viral and fungal infections,
nonpigmented skin lesions, hair abnormalities, and a large variety
of other dermatologic conditions as well as cosmetology. The book
focuses on those conditions in which the techniques are most
useful, describing the clinical and histopathological correlations
associated with the procedure. The book includes color clinical
images throughout, making it a handy guide for the dermatologist's
daily practice.
