Each patient undergoes a detailed clinical and dermatoscopic examination of skin moles during the initial examination
Depending on your skin type and the number of moles, we will recommend how often mole checks are needed and advise you on the appropriate type of sun protection (photoprotection).
We place great emphasis on the prevention of skin tumours
For diagnostics we use a special DermLite DL3N – 3Gen dermatoscope with state-of-the-art illumination technology that provides a clear and deep view of pigmented lesions for easier early detection of dysplastic nevi, melanomas and non-melanoma skin tumors. A great advantage is that in our clinic we can remove the risky manifestations and have them histologically examined in a very short time.

How do I know I have a suspicious mole?

We should be alert when we notice a change in shape, colour, border or rapid growth on a mole, moles larger than 5 mm should also be checked. A warning sign is bleeding, itching or soreness of the skin manifestation, but unfortunately it is often a symptom of an already advanced skin tumour. Since individual skin cancers can manifest themselves very differently, it is important to have regular preventive mole examinations by a dermatologist.

By law, everyone over the age of 18 is entitled to a cancer-preventive mole examination every 2 years as part of the general preventive examination, although it is preferable to have moles checked every year, even for children, and twice a year for people at risk. People at risk are the aforementioned fair-skinned people, those who have a direct family history of skin cancer, frequent sunbathing or extended periods of time in tropical areas, and anyone with a history of skin cancer that has already been detected and treated (e.g. melanoma has up to 10 times the risk of developing another melanoma).
