Moles and Skin Lesion

Comprehensive Moles and Skin Lesion Evaluation at Doctors Diagnostic

At Doctors Diagnostic, we understand the importance of accurately evaluating moles and skin lesions to ensure your skin health and detect any potential skin cancers early. Our experienced team, led by Dr. Ravi, is dedicated to providing professional assessments and treatments for a wide range of skin lesions.

Understanding Moles and Skin Lesions

Moles (nevi) and skin lesions can be benign or, in some cases, may indicate skin cancer. Our approach includes:

• Comprehensive Skin Examination: A thorough evaluation of your skin to identify any suspicious moles or lesions, using Dermoscopy for a detailed examination.
• Lesion Assessment: Evaluating the size, shape, color, and any changes in moles or lesions over time using the ABCDE rule (Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, Evolving).

Types of Moles and Skin Lesions

We diagnose and treat various types of moles and skin lesions, including:

• Benign Moles: Common moles that are not cancerous and typically do not require treatment unless they are bothersome or for cosmetic reasons.
• Atypical Moles (Dysplastic Nevi): Moles that are unusual and may resemble melanoma; they are generally benign but can be a marker for an increased risk of melanoma.
• Seborrheic Keratoses: Benign growths that are common with aging and can appear as brown, black, or tan growths.
• Skin Tags (Acrochordons): Small, benign growths that usually cause no symptoms but can be removed for cosmetic reasons or if they become irritating.
• Cherry Angiomas: Small, bright red spots that are usually harmless and caused by dilated blood vessels.

Treatment Options

At Doctors Diagnostic, we offer various treatment options for moles and skin lesions, including:

• Surgical Removal: For bothersome or suspicious lesions, surgical excision is a common and effective method.
• Cryotherapy: Using liquid nitrogen to freeze off certain types of lesions, such as warts or seborrheic keratoses.
• Shave Removal: A procedure where the lesion is shaved off with a special tool for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
• Cauterization: Using heat or a chemical agent to remove or treat certain types of lesions.

Prevention and Skin Care

We emphasize the importance of preventive measures and proper skin care, including:

• Sun Protection: Advising on the use of sunscreen, protective clothing, and seeking shade to prevent skin damage and reduce the risk of skin cancer.
• Skin Self-Examination: Educating patients on how to perform regular self-exams to detect any changes in moles or new skin lesions early.
• Healthy Lifestyle: Promoting a healthy diet, regular exercise, and not smoking to support overall skin health and reduce the risk of skin diseases.
