About mole & skin cancer checks
Most moles are completely harmless, but a mole that is new, growing, changing colour or shape, itching or bleeding deserves a proper look — and that is exactly the sort of thing it is never worth waiting on. A two-minute examination buys reassurance, or catches something early when it is most treatable.
How we assess and diagnose it
The dermatologist examines the skin systematically and uses dermoscopy — a special magnified, lit lens — to see structures invisible to the naked eye. If a lesion looks at all suspicious, we can remove it with a minor procedure and send it for biopsy, all explained clearly before anything is done.
What treatment looks like
For those with many moles, fair skin, a lot of past sun exposure or a family history of skin cancer, we set up a simple surveillance plan with baseline records so that any change is spotted between visits. In Singapore’s strong sun, an occasional professional skin check is one of the most sensible things you can do.
