Dermoscopy quiz
Pattern-recognition practice for UK skin-oncology clinicians. Five themed decks, eight image-led questions each, single-best-answer with immediate feedback, references, and a downloadable certificate. Built around the dermoscopy reference.
Two-Step Algorithm
Step 1 — melanocytic vs non-melanocytic. Globules, network, pseudo-network and the differentials clinicians most often confuse.
Melanocytic structures
Atypical network, blue-white veil, regression, irregular streaks, dots and globules — the 7-point checklist features applied to real-world stems.
BCC features
Arborising vessels, blue-grey ovoid nests, leaf-like areas, spoke-wheel structures, shiny white blotches — and the look-alikes (SH, IDN, SK).
Acral & nail-unit patterns
Parallel-furrow vs parallel-ridge (Saida algorithm), lattice-like, fibrillar; longitudinal melanonychia, Hutchinson's sign. UK equity-gap territory.
Facial pigment & LM
Pseudo-network, asymmetric pigmented follicular openings, rhomboidal structures, slate-grey dots, follicular obliteration (Pralong / Tschandl) — and the solar-lentigo / pigmented AK differentials.
Vascular & amelanotic patterns
Polymorphous vessels, milky-red areas, red lacunae, pyogenic granuloma white collarette, glomus tumour, angiokeratoma — vascular pattern recognition + amelanotic melanoma differential.
Pigmented non-melanocytic lookalikes
Pigmented BCC, pigmented SK, ink-spot lentigo, pigmented DF, exogenous pigment (argyria, tattoo), subcorneal haematoma, pigmented AK vs LM, traumatic / friction pigment.
Special sites: mucosa, conjunctiva, ear, scalp
Vulval, oral and conjunctival pigmented lesions; ear-specific and scalp-specific patterns; mucosal melanoma diagnosis; cyst-like inclusions in conjunctival naevi.
