The author discusses the features of very early melanoma and looks at the importance of change as a characteristic for diagnosing it. The use of the dermatoscope is also discussed in relation to the early diagnosis of melanomas and other lesions. Identification of the high risk patient and appropriate methods of surveillance for such patients are also presented.
