One of the most important step in melanoma prevention
Most moles are harmless, but certain changes can become malignant over time. Regular, professional mole screening can save lives, as early detection of melanoma significantly increases the chances of successful treatment.
At Optimum Vision Center, we perform comprehensive mole examinations using modern diagnostic tools and extensive experience.
Why is mole screening important?
The appearance and changes of moles often go unnoticed. However, small variations in color, shape, size, or surface can be serious warning signs.
The purpose of mole screening is to:
- detect suspicious skin changes early
- differentiate between benign moles and those requiring further examination,
- reduce the risk of developing skin cancer
- provide our patients with reassuring, expert feedback
Who should consider the screening?
Mole screening is recommended from infancy, regardless of age. It is particularly advised for those who:
- individuals with fair skin or numerous mole,
- those who are frequently exposed to the sun or have a history of sunburns,
- those with a family history of skin cancer,
- those who notice a new mole or changes in an existing one.
Prevention is not a matter of age –
regular check-ups are important for all age groups.

Frequently asked questions
When and how often should you have a mole screening?
As a general recommendation, a full-body mole screening is advised once a year.
More frequent check-ups (every 3–6 months) are recommended if you:
have many moles (over 50),
have had a suspicious mole removed before,
have a family history of melanoma,
have fair skin or burn easily,
are frequently exposed to strong UV radiation (sunbathing, tanning beds).
If you notice a new or rapidly changing mole, you should not wait for the annual check-up.
What are the warning signs that require immediate medical actions
The so-called ABCDE rule helps indentify suspiciuos signs:
A – Asymmetry: one half does not match the other
B – Border: irregular or blurred edges
C – Color: multiple colors, darkening, or fading
D – Diameter: larger than 6 mm
E – Evolution: growing, itchy, bleeding, or painful
Immediate examination is warranted if a mole:
bleeds or oozes,
is painful,
changes rapidly,
appears newly in adulthood,
How is mole screening performed, ad is it painful?
The examination is completely painless.
Procedure:
A dermatologyst examines the skin from head to toe
Moles are examined using a dermatoscope (a special magnifying device).
Duration: approximately 20 minutes.
What should I do if a mole has changed but I don’t have an appointment yet.
Important: don’t delay!
take a photo with the date (to help track changes),
try to request an urgent appointment,
inform the clinic when booking that it concerns a changing mole.
If the mole is bleeding, painful, ulcerated, or growing rapidly, do not wait weeks – it requires immediate medical evaluation.
What happens after the examination? When should I return for a follow-up? ?
At the end of the examination, the doctor will:
reassure you if everything appears normal,
recommend a follow-up appointment (e.g., in 6 or 12 months),
or suggest removal if a suspicious mole is detected.
Important: Melanoma detected early is highly treatable, but delaying evaluation carries serious risks.
When should you start getting screens?
There is no minimum age for screening, but it is recommended to:
have at least one baseline examination starting in young adulthood,
undergo regular screenings if:
you already have many moles at a young age,
you frequently experienced sunburns in childhood,
you have used tanning beds,
there is a family history of melanoma.
Melanoma does not only occur in older adults, making prevention essential.
