 |  | Interpretation principles of cutaneous microscopy by epiluminescence of the trichogramme and biopsy of surface, 2nd year |

 |
 | This course reports on three non-invasive methods, useful in dermatological practice, representing some aid support for clinical diagnosis.
1) Skin surface biopsy :
- Methods for collecting stratum corneum
- Interest for diagnosis in cutaneous diseases
- Interest in experimental dermatology
2) Trichogram :
- Normal and pathologic hair cycle
- Evaluation methods for alopecia
3) Dermoscopy :
- General dermoscopic criterias
- Differential diagnosis between pigmented melanocytic and non melanocytic lesions
- Differential diagnosis between benign melanocytic lesions and melanoma.
