Mole's screening - assess your moles with our Mole Atlas or come to the mole's check
Introducing the atlas of moles, created by us under the guidance of the famous Finnish dermatologist Prof. Raimo Suhonen.
We have divided moles into four groups: (1) benign moles, which are easily removed, (2) benign moles, which are difficult to remove with a good aesthetic result, (3) malignant skin changes or precancerous conditions, and (4) suspicious moles, requiring mandatory histological examination.
Mole Atlas
1 group - Benign moles, which can be easily removed without any traces
Angiokeratoma is a common, benign vascular formation. It can be removed using a radiofrequency knife. On the face, as a rule, there is usually no trace left after removal, on the body and limbs - only a light spot.
An atheroma is a benign cyst that forms as a result of the blockage of the sebaceous glands. Small atheromas can be removed with a radiofrequency knife. Usually, there is no trace left on the face after removal, only a light spot on the body and limbs. Large atheromas require removal through an incision, which is stitched up surgically. Such a procedure leaves a small scar.
Hemangioma is a common, benign vascular formation. It can be removed with a radiofrequency knife. On the face, there is usually no trace left after removal, on the body and limbs - only a light spot.
Dermatofibroma is a benign formation of connective tissue. It can disappear over time. It can be removed using a radiofrequency knife. On the face, there is usually no trace left after removal, on the body and limbs - only a light spot.
The photo shows yellowish spots of blocked sebaceous glands on the lips, the so-called Fordyce spots, and varicose vein enlargement. These formations can be removed using a radiofrequency knife. Traces rarely remain on the lips after removal.
Pyogenic granuloma is a benign vascular formation that is prone to bleeding. It can be removed using a radio-frequency knife. On the face, usually, there is no trace left after removal, on the body and extremities - only a light spot.
A hemangioma filled with venous blood that turns the mole black. When pressure is applied to the mole, it lightens because the blood leaves the mole. This serves as a diagnostic test. It can be removed using a radiofrequency knife. On the face, as a rule, there is no trace left after removal, on the body and limbs - just a light spot.
Seborrheic nevus is a benign skin formation that often itches. It can be removed using a radiofrequency knife. On the face, as a rule, there is no trace after removal, on the body and limbs - only a light spot.
Multicolored seborrheic nevus. It can be removed with a radiofrequency knife. On the face, as a rule, after removal there is no trace at all, on the body and limbs - only a light spot.
Multicolored seborrheic nevus. It can be removed using a radiofrequency knife. On the face, usually, there is no trace left after removal, on the body and limbs - only a light spot.
Multicolored seborrheic nevus. It can be removed using radiofrequency knife. After removal, there is usually no trace left on the face, and only a light spot remains on the body and limbs.
A benign, congenital, warty mole that does not degenerate into a malignant one. It can be removed with a radiofrequency knife. On the face, as a rule, there is no trace left after removal, on the body and limbs - only a light spot.
A typical seborrheic mole has a thick, rough surface with cracks. The tendency towards such moles is hereditary. They don't turn malignant. It can be removed with a radio frequency knife. On the face, as a rule, there is no trace left after removal, on the body and limbs - only a light spot.
Flat seborrheic mole on the eyebrows. Its removal may damage the hair follicles and eyebrows will grow poorly. Otherwise, a good aesthetic prognosis after removal with a radiofrequency knife.
Small seborrheic moles and skin polyps on the eyelids. The changes are benign and can be easily removed with a radiofrequency knife without scars.
Skin polyps or papillomas in the underarm area. If they are not removed, they can become inflamed due to friction against the fabric. They can potentially be removed with a radiofrequency knife. After removal, small light spots remain.
A vascular star is a benign enlargement of capillaries. It can be removed using a radiofrequency knife. Usually, there is no trace left on the face after removal.
Varicose enlargement on the lips is just an aesthetic defect. It is well removed with a radiofrequency knife, a white spot may remain.
A wart on the finger is a viral disease that can go away on its own. It can be removed with a radio frequency knife, but several procedures may be required.
A wart on the foot that has grown into the skin and causes pain. It can be removed with a radiofrequency knife, but several procedures may be required.
A benign intradermal mole, characterized by hair growth. It can be removed with a radiofrequency knife. Usually, there is no trace left on the face after removal, and only a light spot remains on the body and limbs. Typically, hair continues to grow even after removal.
On the hairy part of the head, there is a nevus sebaceous. It appears in childhood, and hair does not grow on it. In adulthood, it can transform into a basal cell carcinoma. It is usually surgically removed at a young age. It can also be removed with a radiofrequency knife.
Group 2 - Benign moles that are difficult to remove without defects.
Becker's melanosis in a young man. It is a benign alteration that can only be removed with a scalpel, with a poor aesthetic effect.
Freckles are benign skin changes that can potentially be removed with a radiofrequency knife, but with a very high risk of recurrence. Removal is not recommended.
Solar, senile lentigo is a typical skin reaction to sunlight in people over 50 years old. It has an aesthetic nature. It can be removed with a radiofrequency knife, but with a high risk of recurrence. Removal is not recommended.
Congenital mole on the thigh. It is removed only by scalpel. After removal, a scar remains.
A speckled nevus is a benign mole that has small dark spots on a pale brown background.
Junctional nevus - a benign, but difficult-to-remove mole.
Large congenital pigmented mole. The risk of turning malignant is low. It can be removed using a radiofrequency knife or a regular scalpel. A scar remains after removal.
A congenital mole, the removal of which results in a poor aesthetic outcome. Moreover, it is located on the shoulder, where there is a higher risk of keloid development after removal.
Group 3 - Malignant changes in the skin or precancerous conditions
Solar keratosis is a reddish, rough skin formation that can degenerate into squamous cell skin cancer. It needs to be removed as soon as the diagnosis is made. It can be removed using a radiofrequency knife. On the face, there is usually no trace left after removal, on the body and limbs - only a light spot. If the wound does not heal after removal or the formation reappears, you should immediately consult a doctor.
Solar keratosis on the nose is a reddish, rough skin formation that can turn into squamous cell skin cancer. It needs to be removed as soon as the diagnosis is made. It can be removed with a radiofrequency knife. On the face, there is usually no trace left after removal, on the body and limbs - only a light spot. If the wound does not heal after removal or the formation reappears, you should see a doctor immediately.
Basalioma or basal cell carcinoma. It doesn't metastasize, but it can grow deeply into other tissues. Urgent removal is necessary!
Nodular basal cell carcinoma or basal cell cancer on the lower eyelid. Urgent removal is necessary!
Nodular basal cell carcinoma or basal cell cancer on the nose. Urgent removal required!
Basal cell carcinoma or basal cell cancer. Urgent removal needed!
Nodular basalioma or basal cell carcinoma on the lower eyelid. Urgent removal is necessary!
Melanoma, where asymmetric pigment is visible. Urgent referral to a university clinic for surgery.
Melanoma with different shades of pigment. An urgent referral to a university clinic for treatment is needed!
Thin melanoma of uneven color and shape. Urgent referral to the university clinic for treatment is necessary!
A melanoma on the body, which has a bluish tint, suggests malignancy. Immediate referral to the university clinic for treatment is needed!
Aggressive squamous cell carcinoma on the cheek of an elderly person. It may metastasize. Urgent referral to a university clinic is required.
Group 4 - Suspicious moles that require mandatory biopsy
A blue nevus is a very dark birthmark, which very rarely turns malignant. A biopsy is recommended to confirm benignity.
Horny keratoma, which often develops on solar keratosis. It is recommended to remove it with confirmation of its benignity by a histologist.
Halo nevus is an intradermal mole around which a light halo forms. The same change is possible around melanoma, therefore a biopsy is recommended.

"After six months, reddish even scars remained in place of the moles, which can be concealed with makeup (unlike the previous moles), so I am pleased with the result. Healing largely depends on your skin; mine is quite light and easily forms scars, on the other hand, they will continue to fade over the next couple of years."
"The service was friendly and professional. The mole removal procedure was completely painless and quick. A day has passed since the procedure, there is no pain, no fluid or blood is coming from the mole removal site. I'm not judging the final result yet, but at this stage, I am very satisfied. I consider the cost of the procedure very affordable."
"At MEDFIN, I had a few moles removed. A scab formed at the removal site after a couple of days, and in a week I was able to cover this area with makeup. A couple of weeks after the procedure, the skin fully recovered. There were no traces left on my face and neck. I am very satisfied, I recommend!"
"The procedure was painless, I believe the price was affordable, and the doctor and other staff were very friendly. There are no scars left. I still have moles, so at the first opportunity, I will definitely go there again."
