@4drmoz: This gent's wife (a pretty eagle eyed Dermal Therapist) sent him in for a skin check and her main concern was this slowly growing spot. She'd noticed that it was behaving in some pretty odd ways: - Slowly Growing - Red - Unlike anything else he had on his scalp So what did the dermatoscope examination show? Those blue-grey patches are pretty classic for Basal Cell The almost transluscent character of the spot is fairly consistent with BCC as well Finally there are some well focussed vessels (most visible) on the right hand side of the spot a biopsy to confirm showed a nodular BCC Because it was caught early it was suitable for a more straightforward closure type which is always nice. Hopefully he will heal up beautifully and fingers crossed for no more!! Recorded with DL5 by Dermlite In Australia I recommend Docstockmedical Want to learn more dermosocpy?
