- Abstract
Teledermoscopy, or the utilization of dermatoscopic images in telemedicine, can help diagnose dermatologic disease remotely, triage lesions of concern (i.e., determine whether in-person consultation with a dermatologist is necessary, biopsy, or reassure the patient), and monitor dermatologic lesions over time. Handheld dermatoscopes, a magnifying apparatus, have become a commonly utilized tool for providers in many healthcare settings and professions and allows users to view microstructures of the epidermis and dermis. This Dermoscopy Practice Guideline reflects current knowledge in the field of telemedicine to demonstrate the correct capture, usage, and incorporation of dermoscopic images into everyday practice.
