Our practice is equipped with the Fotofinder ATMB Master, a state-of-the-art device that enables mole screening and early detection of skin cancer for lesions with a diameter greater than or equal to 5 millimeters.
The first step of the examination is an automated photograph (video dermatoscopy) of the entire body taken by the FotoFinder, which will serve as the baseline mapping.
Moles are mapped by the computer, then checked by Doctor PULCINI.
It will also be possible to analyze how lesions evolve during future examinations:
* Change in size
* Change in appearance: color, asymmetry
* Appearance of new lesions
* Disappearance of lesions
* Analyze moles and skin cancer screening
* Monitoring and surveillance of your lesions year after year
* Support for medical and surgical diagnosis
• Analyze moles and screening for skin cancers.
• Monitoring and surveillance of your lesions year after year
• Assistance with medical and surgical diagnosis
Early detection of skin cancers offers better chances of cure and survival, especially in the case of cutaneous melanomas.
Fhave yourself diagnosed
Early detection of skin melanoma is essential: it offers a better chance of cure. It consists of regularly examining your skin yourself to spot any suspicious lesion.
PPRACTICE REGULAR SKIN SELF-EXAM
Le meilleur moyen de détecter très précocement un mélanome est l’auto-examen de la peau
L’auto-examen de la peau est recommandé une fois tous les trois mois, notamment si vous présentez un ou plusieurs facteurs de risque de mélanome.
Practice this self-exam regularly, by checking every part of your body, from head to toe. It helps you spot any suspicious lesion early and get familiar with your skin, your moles, and your freckles.
What may worry you:
An old skin lesion that starts bleeding when touched, grows, or changes;
A wound that does not heal;
A brown spot or a bump that appears on the skin and persists;
A mole that is different from the others. All a person’s moles look alike.
So the one that “is not like the others” should catch your attention. This is the “ugly duckling” principle;
A mole that changes appearance quickly (in its shape, size, color, or thickness).
Use the ABCDE criteria.
The “rule ABCDE ” can help you recognize warning signs:
A for Asymmetry: the mole is not regular, nor round, nor oval, and its raised areas are not distributed evenly around its center;
B like Irregular edges: its edges are irregular and poorly defined ;
C like Color: it shows several colors (black, blue, brown, red or white) ;
D like Diameter: it is large (more than 6 mm) ;
E like Evolution: it changes and grows, changes in thickness and color.
The presence of one or more of these signs does not necessarily mean you have a melanoma, but it does justify seeking a medical opinion without waiting.
