Prevention is currently fundamental to avoid or make early detection of many skin pathologies such as melanoma. Melanoma is a malignant skin tumor with a good prognosis as long as it is detected early.
Dermatologists detect suspicious lesions that should be removed or closely monitored.
There are also other types of non-melanoma skin cancer that can be treated early if detected early.
The skin is the most visible organ of the human being and one of the most susceptible to diseases with very important actions such as preventing dehydration, protecting us from viruses and bacteria, regulating temperature or elaborating Vitamin D thanks to sun exposure.
Dermatologists also advise each person to carry out periodic self-monitoring.
Recommended guidelines to consider
Asymmetry in the axes
Irregular surroundings
Different colors
Diameter of more than 6 mm
Evolution or changes
According to the latest research, those who have had regular dermatological examinations are more likely to be diagnosed with early stages of melanoma than those who do not. In other words, the suspicious freckles found and subsequently removed by specialists during the examinations carried out were present only in the superficial layers of the skin (epidermis) or 1 mm below the epidermis. These lesions are called melanomas in situ or "Stage 0" or Stage 1.
In Quantum we propose a visit with our professionals that will begin with a thorough examination using the most advanced technology to perform a mapping of the skin and diagnose early suspicious lesions or skin cancer.
Then, in the case of finding suspicious lesions, we proceed to the immediate excision of all those lesions that our professional consider appropriate.
When an exhaustive diagnosis is needed, a biopsy of the affected part of the skin is performed for laboratory analysis.
In the case of spots or melasma caused by excessive sun exposure, genetics, medication, hormonal changes, pregnancy or aggressive cosmetics, the treatment is individualized according to the patient's skin type, the type of spot and the sensitivity of each skin as well as the area to be treated.
We have the latest generation equipment that allows us to use one treatment or another according to the type of lesion.
