Birthmarks, moles, skin cancers

Marks may appear throughout life. Most of them are not dangerous, but even one small change can turn out to be extremely dangerous.

Melanoma is one of the most malignant neoplasms. However, it is entirely curable in most cases when the detection is at the early stage in development. Therefore, our health is in our hands – regular checkups and self-monitoring are the basis that we should never forget.

That is why it is so essential that a dermatologist would assess each new change and all symptoms within the existing ones.

The moles should be consulted with a dermatologist once a year. In the case of children, a test every three years is sufficient. People from the group at increased risk of developing melanoma should pay special attention to regular checkups and even increase their frequency.
