Skin cancer prevention
We use a computer-based digital dermatoscopy with 20-140 times magnification in order to analyse birthmarks in the context of skin cancer prevention. A storage of the pictures taken is possible. These birthmarks and other skin alterations can be assessed over time.
That way alterations of birthmarks can be recognized at an early stage and can be removed precociously. This examination method with storage of the pictures is not covered by the standard medical insurance.
Skin cancer prevention covered by public health insurance includes a visual whole-body examination and of the skin and body folds. Suspicuous moles may be inspected if necessary by dermatoscopy.
For a skin cancer prevention examination is a previous appointment necessary.
