Moles
Moles, are common skin lesions formed by the growth of melanocytes. They usually appear during childhood and adolescence, but may develop later. Although most moles are benign, it is important to monitor them for any changes, such as an increase in size, change in color, or irregularities in shape, that may indicate a risk of melanoma. At Geoderma Clinic we provide comprehensive services for the early diagnosis and care of your moles, ensuring the health of your skin. Dermatoscopy allows us to examine the structure of moles in detail, while mapping provides a detailed record to track them over time. If necessary, the removal is carried out precisely and safely, minimizing the risk of complications.
