Early diagnosis of dangerous skin growths

The end of the summer season is the time when many people return from a beach holiday. People often spend their holidays in countries with high solar activity without using sun protection products. This can lead to the appearance of dangerous skin neoplasms such as basal cell carcinoma (basal cell carcinoma), skin melanoma, as well as exacerbation of chronic skin diseases such as rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, and lupus erythematosus.

The Dermatology and Allergology Clinic offers a range of medical services for patients of any age, which will help to diagnose, treat as effectively as possible or prevent the development of many skin diseases, including cancer.

EMC dermatologists and oncologists pay special attention to the preventive examination of "dangerous moles" using special equipment. According to world medical statistics, cases of skin cancer have increased in the last decade, in particular, the most dangerous of them is melanoma, which develops from a mole very quickly and can lead to human death due to metastasis to various organs: liver, brain, lungs.

To detect this disease at an early stage, it is necessary to conduct an annual preventive examination of the entire skin surface in order to identify dangerous formations, as well as their control, the so-called Mole Mapping. This is especially important after the summer season, when human skin was exposed to the active effects of ultraviolet rays, one of the main carcinogenic factors.

EMC dermatologists use state-of-the-art equipment for early detection of "dangerous" moles (dysplastic melanocytic nevi). If necessary, they are quickly surgically removed with minimal damage to the surrounding healthy tissues under local anesthesia. In the future, the removed formations are sent to the EMC histological laboratory, where experienced morphologists determine the degree of danger. If necessary, additional general examination and treatment are carried out.
