Mole Atlas
You can examine your moles independently with the help of our mole map, which we have prepared under the guidance of the well-known Finnish dermatologist Professor Raimo Suhonen.
We have divided the moles into 4 groups: benign moles, which are easy to remove; moles that are difficult to remove without damaging the skin; malignant skin changes or pre-cancerous conditions, and suspicious moles that absolutely require histological examination.
1 group - benign moles, which are easily removable
Angiokeratoma is a benign and fairly common vascular tumor in the skin. It can be removed with a radiofrequency knife. Usually, there is no scar left on the face at all, and only a small light mark on the body.
An atheroma is a blocked sebaceous gland that continues to enlarge due to sebum secretion. After the removal of a small atheroma, there is usually no scar left on the face and only a small light mark on the body. The removal of a larger atheroma requires a few stitches.
A cherry angioma is a common and benign vascular tumor. It is possible to remove it with a radiofrequency knife. There is usually no scar left on the face at all and only a small pale mark on the body.
Dermatofibroma is a benign connective tissue tumor, which can disappear spontaneously over the years. It is possible to remove it with a radiofrequency knife. There usually is no scar left on the face at all and only a small light mark on the body.
Yellowish sebaceous glands in the lip (Fordyce spots), are also known as lip varicose veins. It is possible to remove them with a radiofrequency knife. Most often, it does not leave a scar.
Pyogenic granuloma (G. Telangiectaticum) is a benign vascular tumor that easily bleeds. It can be removed with a radiofrequency knife. There is usually no scar left on the face at all and only a small pale mark on the body.
A hemangioma is a harmless blood vessel birthmark. In the image, venous blood stains the birthmark dark. (DOT) It empties and lightens by pressing, which aids in diagnosis. It can be removed with a radiofrequency knife. There is usually no scar at all on the face and only a small pale mark on the body.
Seborrheic keratoses, also known as grease spots, are benign, but can cause itching. They can be removed with a radiofrequency knife. There is usually no scar at all on the face and only a small light mark on the body.
A sebaceous mole can be light or dark in color, and anything in between. It can be removed with a radiofrequency knife. There is usually no scar left on the face and only a small pale mark on the body.
The plantar wart characterized by a non-glossy area in the middle. The plantar wart shown in the picture is large, approximately 5 mm in size. Plantar warts are caused by a virus and can disappear on their own. They can be removed with a radiofrequency knife. Generally, there is no scar left on the face and only a small pale mark on the body.
Naevus compositus is a compound mole that has both a junctional and intradermal component. It is possible to remove it with a radiofrequency knife. There is usually no scar left on the face at all and only a small light mark on the body.
A benign, congenital, wart-like mole that does not turn malignant. It can be removed with a radiofrequency knife. There is usually no scar left on the face and only a small pale mark on the body.
A typical sebaceous cyst with a rough surface. As it thickens, it cracks and crumbles. Age and genetics influence their formation. The sebaceous cyst does not become malignant. It is possible to remove it with a radio frequency knife. There is usually no scar on the face and only a small pale spot on the body.
There is a flat sebaceous mole on the eyebrow arch. In its removal, care must be taken not to harm the hair follicle of the eyebrows. It is possible to remove the mole with a radiofrequency knife.
Polyps in the armpit, pouch-like and harmless protrusions, which untreated can get caught in textiles. They can be removed with a radiofrequency knife. Only a small pale mark remains on the body.
Underarm skin polyps, baggy and harmless protrusions, that if left untreated, can get caught in textiles. They can be removed with a radiofrequency knife. Only a small light mark remains on the body.
A spider nevus (Naevus araneus) is a benign punctate capillary dilation, from which small capillaries open around it. It is treated by blocking the central vein. It can be removed with a radiofrequency knife. There is usually no scar left on the face at all, and only a small pale mark on the body.
A venous lake / lip venous dilatation is harmless and only aesthetically significant. It is possible to remove it with a radiofrequency knife. It may leave a small, pale mark.
Warts on fingers. There are many treatments for this viral disease, but spontaneous healing is also possible. They can be removed with a radio frequency knife. There may be a need for multiple treatment sessions.
Plantar warts, which under pressure sink into the skin and cause pain. There is no one sure cure for them. Spontaneous healing is possible over the years. They can be removed with a radiofrequency knife. Possibly need for multiple treatment sessions.
Benign intradermal moles, characterized by skin hairs. It is possible to remove them with a radio frequency knife. Usually, there are no scars left on the face at all, and only a small light mark on the body.
Sebaceous nevus of the scalp (Naevus sebaceous). It develops in childhood, is hairless and can become basal cell carcinoma in adulthood. It is most often surgically removed in youth. It can be removed with a radiofrequency knife. There is usually no scar left on the face at all and only a small pale mark on the body.
Group 2 - moles that are difficult to remove without damaging the skin
Becker's melanosis in a young man. Harmless aesthetic nuisance that cannot be removed.
Lentigo (freckle) is a benign, macular pigmentation change that comes about through the years and due to the sun. It is removable with a radiofrequency knife, but there is a high risk of recurrence.
Solar lentigo (L. Senilis) is a typical sun effect after the age of 50. The importance of changes is aesthetic. It is possible to remove it with a radiofrequency knife, but the risk of recurrence is high.
Congenital mole in the thigh area. The change was surgically removed for aesthetic reasons.
Naevus spilus is light brown in background color, and there are small dark pigment moles in the area. Its risk of malignancy is of the same class as common pigment moles.
Junctional nevus (border mole), which represents the second main type of pigmented moles. The type of mole has been confirmed histopathologically.
A fairly large congenital pigmented mole. Larger pigmented moles are aimed to be removed, although the risk of its malignancy at this size is not high. It can be removed with a radio frequency knife or a regular surgical knife, but scars remain after the removal of the mole.
A congenital mole, whose calm morphology supports refraining from procedures. The shoulder area is also a risk area for keloid scars.
Group 3 - malignant skin changes or pre-cancerous conditions
Actinic keratosis (Keratosis actinica) is a reddish, rough skin condition, and it can turn into squamous cell carcinoma. It is appropriate to treat it at this stage. It can be removed with a radiofrequency knife. Usually, there is no scar left on the face, and only a small light mark on the body. If you notice any recurrence after removal, you should contact a doctor immediately.
Hyperkeratotic actinic keratosis (K. Actinica). Its progression to squamous cell carcinoma can be prevented at this stage. It is possible to remove it with a radiofrequency knife. Usually, there is no scar on the face at all and only a small pale mark on the body. If recurrence is noticed after removal, you should contact a doctor immediately.
Basal cell carcinoma, basal cell cancer, needs to be removed. In the picture, the basal cell carcinoma is pigmented.
Nodular basal cell carcinoma of the lower eyelid. Its functionality should be preserved during removal.
Nodular basal cell carcinoma on the side of the nose.
Morphea-type basal cell carcinoma. Defining the edges is difficult.
Nodular basal cell carcinoma, which has a characteristic break in the central area.
Melanoma, in which asymmetry of black pigment is characteristic.
Melanoma of varying color and shape (Breslow's measurement 1.2 mm), Clark's level 3.
An irregularly colored and shaped thin melanoma (Breslow measurement 0.6 mm), Clark's class 2.
Body melanoma, whose bluish color tone raises suspicion.
Aggressive squamous cell carcinoma in an elderly person's cheek. Squamous cell carcinoma can metastasize.
Group 4 - Suspicious moles that absolutely require histological examination
Blue nevus. It only becomes malignant in rare cases. It is good to remove it surgically for pathologist examination.
Cutaneous horn, which is usually underpinned by actinic keratosis (solar keratosis).
A halo nevus (N. Sutton) is a spontaneously disappearing intradermal pigmented nevus, where the pigment disappears around the nevus. The same phenomenon can sometimes also occur in melanoma.

"Six months later, red, even scars remained in place of the moles, which can be concealed with makeup (unlike the previous moles), so I am satisfied with the result. Healing greatly depends on your skin, mine is quite fair and scars easily, on the other hand, they will continue to fade over a couple of years."
"The service was friendly and professional. The mole removal procedure was completely painless and quick. The first day after the procedure has passed, there is no pain, no fluid or blood is being secreted from the removal site. I am not judging the final result yet, but at this stage, I am very satisfied. I consider the price of the procedure to be very affordable."
"I removed several moles at MEDFIN. A crust formed at the removal site within a couple of days, after a week I was able to cover this area with makeup, and a couple of weeks after the procedure the skin was completely healed. There were no traces left on the face and neck. I am very satisfied, I recommend it!"
"The procedure was painless, I think the price was affordable, and the doctor and other staff were very friendly. No scars were left. I still have moles, so at the first opportunity, I will definitely go there again."
