Moles & Skin Cancer

Mole

Extirpation is the best cure. We are then able to remove anymolesonthesame day in most cases, and then organizepathologicalexaminationunder the microscope with a report. We arealso able toremove moles byspecial techniques on the basis ofaesthetic andplastic surgery.

On the diagnosis, we use the dermatoscope (an illuminated hand-heldlens withmagnification) for ruling out the malignancies.

The two most common formsare basalcellcarcinoma (BCC) and squamous cellcarcinoma (SCC).Boththesetumours are related to cumulative sun exposure andmostcommonlypresent in an older population with a life-time.

NMSC presents as either a skin coloured lump, ascaling lesion,anerosionthat will not heal or an ulceratedlesion. Any suchlesionrequiresimmediate assessment with a dermascopy if there isanydoubt byperforming a biopsy.
