Dermoscopy and mole screening
Non-invasive dermatological examination that allows detailed evaluation of moles and early detection of suspicious skin lesions, including melanoma.
Details
About this specialty
Dermoscopy is a modern and non-invasive method of examining skin lesions, used for detailed evaluation of moles (nevi) and other pigmented formations. This investigation allows visualization of skin structures that cannot be observed with the naked eye, contributing to early diagnosis of skin cancer, including melanoma.
Within dermatological screening, dermoscopy is used to analyze suspicious moles, identify structural changes in lesions, and monitor their evolution over time.
When is dermoscopy recommended
Dermoscopy and mole screening are especially recommended when:
- there are numerous or atypical moles
- a mole changes its shape, color, or size
- symptoms appear such as itching, bleeding, or inflammation
- there is a personal or family history of skin cancer
a preventive skin evaluation
is desired
How the examination is performed
The examination is performed using a dermoscope, a special optical device that magnifies the image of the lesion and allows analysis of pigmented and vascular structures. In many cases, images can be digitally captured, facilitating comparative monitoring over time.
The procedure is completely painless, quick, and non-invasive, and can be performed during a dermatological consultation.
Benefits
Dermoscopy allows early detection of suspicious lesions, differentiation between benign and malignant lesions, and establishment of appropriate therapeutic management. Periodic mole screening represents an important step in prevention and early diagnosis of skin cancer.
