Moles - Skin Cancers
Skin moles categorized into normal and dysplastic types, require careful examination, especially dysplastic nevi resembling melanoma. Skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma, requires immediate attention. Our specialists use advanced surgical techniques to precisely remove cancerous lesions, ensuring optimal results. Through thorough diagnosis and biopsy, we determine the nature of the lesion and adjust further treatment accordingly. Early detection and intervention is crucial to the management of skin cancer.

What are skin moles?
Skin moles are common skin growths that can vary in appearance and risk. Normal moles, known as moles, usually appear as small brown spots and develop during early adulthood. However, some moles may be atypical or dysplastic, showing irregular shapes, borders or colors and indicating a higher risk of melanoma.
What is skin cancer?
Skin cancer, characterized by the uncontrolled growth of skin cells, occurs mainly in areas of the body that are exposed to the sun. The three main types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and malignant melanoma. BCC is the most common and often appears as a pearly lesion on sun-exposed areas. SCC, the second most common, can present as a hard red nodule or flat lesion and has the potential to metastasize. Malignant melanoma, the most aggressive form, can appear anywhere on the body and may show asymmetry, irregular borders, varying coloring, and changes in size or shape.
What are the common signs of skin cancer?
Common signs of skin cancer include changes in the size, shape, color, or texture of a mole or skin lesion, as well as the appearance of new growths, sores that do not heal, or spots that itch, bleed, or crust.
Should I be worried about all the moles on my body?
Not all moles are cancerous, but any changes in size, shape, color, or texture should be evaluated by a dermatologist to rule out skin cancer.
