Dermatoscopy and Mole Mapping

Dermatoscopy and Mole Mapping can help to determine if a lesion needs to undergo a biopsy for diagnosis. The Maryland Dermatology Laser, Skin & Vein is the first practice in Maryland to offer “mole-mapping” by dermatoscope and computerized mole photography. This is an important breakthrough in the management of patients with “atypical moles” and family history of melanoma and skin cancer. The advanced Fotofinder (use link) from Germany allows us to more accurately track changes in moles and determine when to biopsy.
