“…He published a series of interesting articles on new devices on what he called ''Dermoscopy.'' [26][27][28][29] He was the first dermatologist to use this new technique for the evaluation of pigmented skin lesions. In 1971, Rona MacKie 30 clearly identified, for the first time, the advantage of surface microscopy for the improvement of preoperative diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions and for the differential diagnosis of benign versus malignant lesions.…”

The origin of dermoscopy can be traced back to the middle of the modern age and Borel's discovery (1655 – 1656) laid the foundation stone with important contributions from Ernst Karl Abbe, Unna, Muller, Saphier and others. However, the work done by Dr. Ronald Mackie (1971) for the early detection of melanoma marks the peak. The entire journey of evolution was eventful. This article is a brief overview on the history of dermoscopy and the contribution of various scientists leading to emergence of dermoscopy as an independent, dynamic field today.
