Skin spot patterns seen with a special camera
This study looks at different types of pigmented skin spots using a special camera (dermoscopy) and lab tests. It aims to help doctors better tell harmless spots from serious ones, like melanoma.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a pigmented skin spot (a mole or colored area) that your doctor suspects or has diagnosed.
- Your spot is on your face, hands or feet, a moist area (mucosa), or your trunk.
- You are willing to have the spot examined with a special camera and possibly a small biopsy.
- Your spot is suitable for a clear camera image and a biopsy if needed.
- You do not have a spot that cannot be properly imaged or biopsied.

This study is testing a handheld device that scans skin lesions to help detect melanoma. If you have a spot that your doctor thinks could be melanoma, this study will see how well the device works compared to standard checks.
This study looks at skin spots that might be unusual moles or early melanoma using a special microscope that sees deep into the skin. It aims to match these microscope images with genetic information to better understand these spots.
This study tests a way for doctors to send clear images of your skin spot to be reviewed remotely using teledermoscopy (digital images of the skin). It may help speed up specialist input and improve how skin spots are assessed.
This study looks at diagnostic and prognostic factors in people who have suspicious pigmented skin lesions or melanoma that doctors are evaluating with surgery or tissue sampling. It may help improve how clinicians decide what the lesion is and what to expect over time.
This study uses special cameras and light to look at skin growths and help doctors diagnose skin cancer. It may be a way to better understand your skin without taking a sample.
This study looks at images of a type of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma to see if certain features in the images can help predict how deep the cancer has grown. This might help doctors plan treatment without needing extra tests.
