Dermoscopy CME module
Entodermoscopy
Presented by Christian Navarrete, MD
Talk reviews entodermoscopy—using the dermatoscope to diagnose infections and infestations. Key pearls: scabies delta sign and UV fluorescence; identification of crab lice, ticks, tungiasis, and tinea nigra; spider eye-pattern triads for suspected loxoscelism; recognition of gamasoidosis. Dermoscopy improves accuracy, reduces unnecessary biopsies, and aids foreign-body detection and minor procedures care.

Learning objectives
After completing this module, you should be able to:
- Outline a logical framework for evaluating cutaneous lesions, nail lesions, hair disorders, rashes, and infestations.
- Outline a management approach for lesions, based on their clinical and dermoscopic morphology.
- Summarize the pivotal role of Dermoscopy as the gateway not only into improved diagnostic accuracy but also improvements in management, treatment, and appropriate use of ancillary tests/devices such as digital monitoring, reflectance confocal microscopy, and gene expression profiling.
This faculty-led module is part of the American Dermoscopy Certificate Program. Enrolled members watch the full lecture and claim CME credit on completion.
