DERMATOSCOPY
| Throughout
the whole year, especially in the summer, your skin is exposed to the sun light
activity. It generates new brown spots, overcoloring and nevus. You should not
ignore them and take a dermatoscopy examination, especially when you have any
suspicions. It
is a microscope examination of the skin surface; it enables observation and estimation
of color structures on skin level. The changes are examined in enlargement with
reflected light, where the skin is treated with immerse oil. This method increases
skin transparency and reduces to minimum light reflections, which can make the
picture unclear. Dermascopy
test scans whether the examined structure is a color change (melanin cyst), and
if so; whether it is a benign, or looking suspicious, or even a malignant change.
The advantage of this method is its non-invasive character. |  |

DERMATOSCOPY
It is a computer marks analysis. It enables us to watch
carefully a change in a large magnification, to archive a picture and to compare
subsequent tests. It also examines changes in process of generating. |
People in danger
of skin cancer should take dermascopy tests once or twice a year. They are people:
| With
light skin, hair and eyes and who have many freckles and have problems |
| With
getting tan, who easily get sunburn | | With
many marks of different shapes, sizes and colors |
| Whose
relatives had or have skin cancer | |
Who frequently expose their skin to sunlight (also solar light), do not apply
creams with UVA filters and used to have sunburns. | Dermascopy
test should be conducted also in case of every suspiciously look color change,
which:
| Is
just generated | | Quickly
grows | | Flakes
off, itches or bleeds | | Is
of irregular edges | | Color
is not homogenous | | Changes
quickly | If
you have any of above, you should examine your skin in detail and frequently once
a month, and if it is necessary, immediately contact your doctor. | |
