“…There has been a rising global recognition of the utility of dermoscopy for diagnosis and management of skin diseases beyond neoplastic lesions in all skin types [ 1 – 5 ]. In addition to improving diagnostic accuracy of skin lesions thereby facilitating triage of skin lesions in primary care dermatology while reducing unnecessary biopsies, it also improves precision in determining the margins of excision and monitoring of lesions during treatment [ 6 – 8 ].…”

Introduction: Dermoscopy has evolved over the years beyond distinguishing benign pigmented lesions from melanoma to diagnosing virtually all diseases in dermatology. Overwhelming evidence demonstrates its utility in improving diagnostic accuracy, reducing unnecessary biopsies and lesion monitoring. Dermoscopy is widely used in Western nations, hence most descriptions of lesions in literature are predominantly on Fitzpatrick skin types I-III. Current evidence shows that there are unique dermoscopic features in the dark skin as a result of pigment and pathological reactions. Nationwide surveys and reports have been conducted across several continents to highlight prevalence and factors influencing dermoscopy use with the hope of maximizing its apparent benefits. There are currently no such reports from Africa. Objective: To evaluate dermoscopy use and its determinants among dermatologists in Africa. Method: A cross-sectional study. Online forms were e-mailed to individual practicing dermatologists and members of the African Society of Dermatologists and Venereologists. Results: There were 196 respondents from 24 African countries. Half of them used dermoscopy. Training, practice settings and location, provision of dermatoscopes by institutions and knowledge of criteria were notable significant determinants. Multiple training exposures, knowledge of criteria, availability of dermatoscopes, use of both hand-held and videodermatoscopes, average number of patients seen per day, and a positive outlook towards dermoscopy were significant determinants of frequency of use. Leading impediments were lack of training and inadequate dermatoscopes in practice. Conclusion: Dermoscopy use in Africa is relatively low. Incorporating dermoscopy training into the curriculum with provision of dermatoscopes by training institutions will promote wider usage.

“…Dermoscopy is widely used in clinical practice for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) diagnosis and has been shown to accurately predict the tumor subtype [ 1 ]. Furthermore, dermoscopy was shown to enhance the clinical preoperative assessment of peripheral margins, especially for pigmented BCCs [ 2 ]. In non-pigmented, the topographic evaluation of the vessels may be an important way to assess the tumor margins.…”
