Regular skin checks help identify risk changes before a serious condition develops. Mole examination using a dermatoscope allows a specialist to assess the structure and colour of skin lesions in detail and detect even subtle changes that may indicate early melanoma or other skin issues.
How the Examination Works:
• Dermatoscopic assessment – a specialist examines the skin using a dermatoscope, a magnifying optical device that enlarges and illuminates the area.
• Evaluation of changes – the clinician assesses the shape, colour and structure of moles and highlights any atypical findings.
• Recommended follow-up – if a suspicious lesion is detected, the specialist recommends further monitoring or a referral for additional examination.
Skin screening is a key component of skin cancer prevention and should form part of regular health care—particularly for individuals with fair skin or a higher number of pigmented moles.
