Mole Check & Skin Cancer Screening

New or changed moles often worry patients. These changes should always be clarified, as malignant changes such as melanoma – one of the most malignant skin cancers – may be behind them. Detected and surgically removed in time, serious consequences for the patient can be avoided.

An annual thorough skin examination by a dermatologist, especially of moles, is recommended according to international guidelines.

How Does Skin Cancer Develop?

Skin cancer generally refers to the pathological transformation of healthy skin cells into tumor cells. Depending on which original cells this process originates from, different forms of skin cancer are distinguished. One of the most dangerous and common triggers of skin cancer is UV radiation from sunlight.

White Skin Cancer: Causes and Treatment

White skin cancer, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, mainly develops from long-term sun damage. Its precursors appear as persistent skin redness, scaling spots, pearly nodules, or keratinized tumors, often in sun-exposed areas.

Black Skin Cancer (Melanoma): Detection and Therapy

A melanoma is a malignant tumor of pigment cells that can develop anywhere on the skin, often due to intense sun exposure. Suspicious are irregular, changing moles that itch or bleed. Early removal is crucial.
