Abstract

Video Dermatoscopy is a non-invasive method that allows the in-vivo evaluation of colours and microstructures of the epidermis, the dermo-epidermal junction, and the papillary dermis not visible to the naked eye using digital device. This technique is useful for clinician to assess pigmentory/non-pigmentory skin lesion, skin malignancies and skin infections. But usage of Video Dermatoscopy in scar management has scanty data. In this case report we are sharing our experience of Video Dermatoscopy role in scar management.
