    The Heine Delta One Dermatoscope - a game changer in Dermoscopy?

    There are many dermatoscopes on the market and if you have attended a dermoscopy course you will see there are several devices particularly suitable for podiatry use. Some of these I have reviewed (see the dermoscopy section of this website). In October, Heine introduced the brand-new Delta One Dermatoscope (see the Youtube promotional video here) which promises to bring a compact portable device together with optical precision and clarity – so does it live up to these claims

    Haematoma or Melanoma?

    A frequent cause of concern for podiatrists (and sometimes their patients) are brown marks under the toenail. Melanoma or Haematoma? Sometimes it’s reassuring to get some help with these sorts of cases. One of the great things about the internet is the range of free videos, articles and presentations.

    See Pink? Stop and Think!

    Malignant melanoma continues to be a problem with increasing incidence in the developed world. Lesions on the feet, particularly on the soles, are most frequently a sub-type classified as acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM). In 2010, we undertook a project to increase awareness of foot melanoma and how it may present on the foot as our earlier work reported that mis-diagnosis and subsequent delay was a real problem (1). The reason for this in part was the diversity in its presen

    Seeing the light - the rise of dermoscopy in dermatology

    Dermoscopy as a clinical aid to decision making has shown to improve the early detection of melanoma and other skin tumours over visual clinical examination. A recent study has been published in the British Journal of Dermatology which demonstrated that 89% of responding Dermatologists regularly use a dermatoscope in their practice [1].
