Evaluation of dermoscopic criteria for seborrheic keratosis on non‐polarized versus polarized dermoscopy

The two dermoscopic methods, polarized dermoscopy (PD) and non‐polarized dermoscopy (NPD), use different types of light sources. Here, we aimed to explore the differences between these two methods in the diagnosis of seborrheic keratosis (SK).
