Mole assessment

When it's worth it examine moles?

A new or changing skin lesion deserves evaluation, even if it doesn't hurt.

Show the doctor the change that worries you and tell him how long you have been observing it. Dermatoscopic examination helps assess its features and plan further treatment.

Observation or further diagnostics?

The doctor decides on further steps after the examination. Do not choose the method of removing the lesion based solely on its appearance.

What to bring

Bring any previous examination reports or photographs of the skin lesion to your appointment. Also tell us about any changes in its appearance.

What the dermatoscope assesses

Lighting and magnification allow the doctor to see features of the lesion that are not visible by ordinary examination of the skin. The examination helps to decide on observation, control or further diagnostics; does not replace histopathological examination when needed.

Examination without removing the lesion

Dermatoscopy involves examining the skin and does not involve cutting it or removing a mole. The possible procedure is a separate stage.

The result shows you the way forward

Not every change is resolved by viewing alone. If the disease is suspected, it may be necessary to collect material for histopathological examination.

At the clinic

What happens during your visit?

  1. History of the skin lesion

    Identify the area that worries you and any changes in size, color, shape or symptoms. Show previous descriptions and photos if you have them.

  2. Viewing with a dermatoscope

    The doctor assesses the features of the lesions using a dermatoscope. Confirm the scope of the examination when booking, especially if you want to check a larger number of moles.

  3. Decision on proceedings

    You discuss whether observation is enough, when follow-up is needed, and whether the lesion should be referred for further diagnosis.

Preparation

Before your visit.

  • Point out any disturbing places

    Save the location of your changes so you don't miss any. Also report spontaneous bleeding, itching, or rapid growth.

  • Take previous results

    Dermatoscopy descriptions, results of removed lesions and previous photographs are useful. Also include your family or personal diagnoses of skin cancer.

  • Leave skin lesions visible for examination

    Avoid makeup or tinting products on the area being examined. Do not remove or irritate the lesion before your visit.

Follow-up

After your visit.

  • Remember your follow-up schedule

    Determine which changes to watch and when to return. A one-time examination does not exclude the occurrence of new changes in the future.

  • Watch for appearance changes

    Monitor your skin between visits. If a lesion grows, changes color, shape or bleeds spontaneously, report it early.

  • Further diagnostics if needed

    If your doctor recommends an excision or other examination, determine the next step. Cosmetic removal should not precede proper diagnosis.

Patient questions

Good to know.

01Can every skin lesion be removed with a laser?

No. The method of treatment is determined by diagnosis. Some changes require different treatment, including histopathological diagnosis.

02Does the examination hurt?

Viewing with a dermatoscope does not require punctures. If the lesion is painful or irritated, mention it before assessing it.

03Does the examination cover all moles?

Confirm scope when making an appointment. Report whether it's a specific lesion, a few spots, or a broader skin review.

04Is a flat mole also worth showing?

Yes. The need for evaluation does not depend solely on whether the lesion is convex. Its features and changes over time are important.

05Will a photo from the phone replace the examination?

It may help show previous appearance, but is not a substitute for dermatoscopic evaluation and medical examination.

06How often should moles be checked?

The timing depends on the appearance of the lesions and your risk factors. Your doctor will set it after the examination; the same interval is not appropriate for everyone.

07Change doesn't hurt. Does this mean it is safe?

The absence of pain does not determine the nature of the lesion. Show the doctor the new, changing, or other area of concern.

08Is regeneration necessary after dermatoscopy?

Just looking at the skin does not create a wound. If an additional procedure is performed, you receive recommendations specific to it.

09Does dermatoscopy replace histopathology?

No. Examination with a dermatoscope helps in the assessment, and histopathology examines the collected material. The doctor decides about the need for further diagnostics.

10Can I book the removal of the suspicious change immediately?

Start with a dermatological evaluation. The method must allow for proper diagnosis; laser or freezing are not suitable for every lesion.
