Dermatoscopy is a standard and highly accurate procedure in dermatological practice, in which moles and other skin changes are observed under a dermatoscope, with additional lighting. This painless diagnostic method provides detailed insight into the structure of moles, helping the dermatologist distinguish benign from potentially malignant changes.
Moles, although a natural part of most people's skin, can pose a risk when they change in shape, color, size or texture. Dermatoscopy allows for precise observation of the inner layers of moles, which can identify early signs of melanoma and other skin cancers. Doctors advise regular dermatoscopic examinations in people who have many moles, fair skin, a family history of melanoma or those who are frequently exposed to the sun.
Changes such as itching, bleeding or rapid growth of moles can be warning signs and require urgent examination. Dermatoscopy allows these changes to be analyzed in detail, and in case of suspicion of malignant transformation, the dermatologist may recommend removal of the mole and histological analysis.
