Dermoscopy is considered to be a bridge between clinical observation and histopathological examination, allowing the in vivo examination of skin microstructures that are not visible to the naked eye, from the epidermis to the superficial dermis. Dermoscopy has undergone rapid development, witnessing the history from natural light to polarized light, from handheld dermoscopy to videodermoscopy, and from classic dermoscopy to digital dermoscopy. Its application extends from the initial differential diagnosis of pigmented skin diseases (melanocytic and nonmelanocytic) to general dermatology, including appendage (nail and hair) abnormalities and diseases related to infection and inflammation.
We aimed to provide the latest developments in dermoscopy from the perspective of handheld dermoscopy, videodermoscopy, fluorescence-advanced videodermatoscopy, polarized transilluminating dermoscopy, and digital dermoscopy.
In this review, we searched the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases for reviews, case reports, and observational studies on dermoscopy.
We provided an updated review of dermoscopy based on published literature.
Dermoscopy is an indispensable diagnostic tool in dermatology, and it is expected to be further developed in the future.
皮肤镜被认为是临床观察与组织病理学检查之间的桥梁，可使我们能够对肉眼不可见的皮肤微观结构进行活体检查，从表皮到浅层真皮。皮肤镜经历了快速的发展，见证了从自然光到偏振光、从手动皮肤镜到视频皮肤镜、从经典皮肤镜到数字皮肤镜的历史。其应用范围从最初的色素性皮肤病（黑素细胞性和非黑素细胞性）的鉴别诊断扩展到了普通皮肤科，包括附属器（指甲和毛发）异常以及与感染和炎症相关的疾病。
我们旨在从手动皮肤镜、视频皮肤镜、荧光先进视频皮肤镜、偏振光透射皮肤镜和数字皮肤镜的角度提供皮肤镜的最新进展。
本综述通过检索 PubMed、Embase、Web of Science 和 Cochrane Library 数据库中的皮肤镜相关综述、病例报告和观察性研究进行。
我们根据已发表的文献对皮肤镜进行了更新综述。
皮肤镜是皮肤科不可或缺的诊断工具，预计未来将进一步发展。
