This course focuses on the main difference between dermoscopy of inflammatory dermatoses and dermoscopy of skin cancer. The benefits of inflammoscopy are explained and the five parameters to be evaluated (vessels, scaling, follicular findings, other structures and specific clues) are listed. Differentiation between common papulomatosquamous dermatosis is explained and examples of the different conditions are given. The two-step approach for inflammatory dermatoses is given - the collection of clinical data and setting of dermoscopic diagnosis, and the incorporation of dermoscopic data. The course concludes with a number of patient cases taking into account the efficacy of the applied treatment by using dermoscopic and photographic examples of several skin conditions.

This course focusses on the use of dermoscopy to analyse the clinical signs and symptoms for infectious skin diseases. It compares the use of dermatoscopy versus microscopy. Definite diagnosis is usually established by microscopy whereas dermatoscopy allows the "in vivo" recognition of the parasite and its eggs within the burrows and furrows. The course includes descriptions supported by clinical images of louse laying eggs on pubic hair, the scalp or more uncommonly, the body. Detailed information is given regarding the use of dermatoscopy for the detection and management of viral and fungal infections of the skin.

This audit guides the medical practitioner to compare and measure patient management prior to and after applying evidence-based best practice guidelines and course learning to patient management. Participants will measure, review and enhance their current practice for patients using dermoscopy skills to investigate suspicious skin lesions. Clinical management will be matched to best practice to identify areas where patient management may be improved. Using dermoscopy skills, participants are asked to demonstrate their application of knowledge from the course, best practice and identified outcome measurement improvement to their clinical management of ten patients with suspicious skin lesions. Their selected patient cases are peer reviewed by a subject matter expert and participants are asked to review their performance based on the peer review report and their course learning This audit together with the course modules combine to be the HealthCert Professional Diploma of Dermoscopy.
