Pattern Library
A visual reference for dermoscopic patterns, features, and terminology. Use alongside the learning modules or as a standalone revision tool.
Recognising What You See
Comprehensive guides to the dermoscopic patterns you will encounter most often — from the reassuring features of benign lesions to the warning signs of malignancy.
Benign Patterns
Common benign dermoscopic patterns with annotated images. The patterns you will see most often — and need to recognise confidently.
Malignant Patterns
Melanoma and other malignant dermoscopic features. The patterns that demand attention and prompt referral.
Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer
BCC and SCC dermoscopic features. Recognising the non-melanoma skin cancers that are far more common than melanoma.
Specific Structures & Clues
Deep dives into individual dermoscopic features — vascular patterns, crystalline structures, and the colour clues that reveal what lies beneath the surface.
Vessels
Vascular pattern recognition guide. From comma vessels to arborising trees — what the blood supply reveals about a lesion.
Shiny White Structures
Crystalline structures and shiny white lines. Subtle features visible only under polarised light — and what they signify.
Blue, Black & Grey
Blue-white veil, grey structures, and regression features. Understanding what deeper pigment and scarring look like through the lens.
Visual Dictionary
Every dermoscopic term used across the platform, illustrated with annotated examples. Your go-to reference when you encounter an unfamiliar term.
The pattern library is a living reference — it grows as new content is added to the platform. Start with the learning modules for structured education, then return here when you need to look something up.
