Dermoscopy, a non-invasive modern tool to enhance the diagnosis and monitoring of pigmented and non-pigmented skin disorders, is particularly suitable for use in the genital area, in which traditional invasive diagnostic procedures may be difficult or painful for the patient. Dermatologists, family physicians, and those involved in Sexual Health medicine will all benefit from this atlas showing the applications of dermoscopy in several external genital disorders both in males and females with large high-resolution color photographs throughout.
