Dermatoscopicexamination of moles
Do your children have a lot of moles? Moles are often benign, but they can also be a sign of serious problems such as melanoma. That is why it is important to monitor and regularly examine moles in order to notice changes in time. For children at higher risk (eg, if they have a family history of melanoma), examinations should be more frequent. At the Salvea Polyclinic, a mole examination service is available to you with a dermatoscope. It is a tool that enables a detailed examination of moles. If your child has moles on the skin, and especially in the case of a family history of melanoma, pay attention to the appearance of the mole (symmetry, edges, and diameter of the mole). If you notice any changes, it is important to consult a dermatologist.

Excochleation ofthe benign growthson the skin
Excochleation is a method of mechanical removal of benign growths on the skin with a metal, sharp spoon or cochlear. In the Salvea Polyclinic, excochleation of growths on the skin is performed by a pediatric dermatologist to treat growths such as:
Viral warts (growths on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus)
Molluscum (a type of benign growth on the skin caused by a virus. They usually appear as small, firm bumps on the skin.)
This procedure usually does not require local anesthesia, but it is not the most comfortable for children – that’s why our medical team does its best to create a pleasant and soothing atmosphere so that the child feels safe all the time. After excochleation, it is important to follow the skin care instructions that your dermatologist will give you. These skin growths are not dangerous, but they can be recurring, which is why it is sometimes necessary to do additional examinations and treatments. That is why it is important to regularly examine the child’s skin in order to monitor the condition and, if necessary, retake treatment measures.

Cryotherapy of benigngrowths on the skin
This procedure uses liquid nitrogen or another cold agent to freeze and destroy the growth. Cryotherapy is a simple procedure that is usually performed in a dermatologist’s office. During the procedure, liquid nitrogen at a temperature of -196°C is applied directly to the growth using an applicator or wand.
Cryotherapy is usually painless, although the child may experience slight discomfort or a burning sensation during the procedure. After cryotherapy, redness, swelling, or blistering of the treated skin area can be expected, but this usually resolves within a few days to weeks. It is important to follow your dermatologist’s post-procedure skin care instructions to prevent infection and ensure rapid healing.
