This course focuses on the application of dermoscopy for suspicious skin lesions. Participants will acquire knowledge in identifying the variations of acral skin lesions based on parallel patterns. This course explains the variations of acral melanocytic lesions including acral nevus and acral lentiginous melanoma. It outlines the differential diagnoses of some melanosis such as Peutz Jeghers syndrome, Laugier Hunziker Baran syndrome, and drug-induced melanosis. Haematomas, pigmented warts and pigmentation due to paraphenylenediamine (PPDA) or insects are also mentioned. The course then focusses on dermoscopy of acral lesions, divided into regular or irregular parallel-furrow patterns (PFP) and parallel-ridge patterns (PRP). These parallel patterns are used to identify whether an acral skin lesion is melanoma, haematoma, pigmented wart or variants. Images and diagrams are used throughout the course to demonstrate pattern identification clues.
