Are There Any Limitations to Dermatoscopy?

While dermatoscopy is a powerful tool, it does have limitations. For instance:
- Operator Skill: Accurate diagnosis depends heavily on the skill and experience of the operator.
- False Positives/Negatives: There is a risk of misinterpretation, leading to unnecessary biopsies or missed diagnoses.
- Limited to Surface: Dermatoscopy primarily examines surface features and may not detect deeper skin cancers.
