Nevi

Sensitivity of skin lesion examination with the naked eye is 60%, while in the case of dermoscopic examination it reaches 95%, which in practice means a minimal risk of overlooking a lesion of oncological concern. Melanocytic nevi are among the most frequent reasons of patients consulting a dermatologist. They develop as a result of multiplication of melanocytes in the skin. The melanocytes are focused at one spot, within the epidermis and dermis. Hormonal balance, genetic predisposition and sun exposure are some of the factors that influence the formation of nevi. Nevi can form all over the body, but those that are on the face, arms or legs frequently cause discomfort to patients, while those situated under the clothes can often become irritated and cause pain. Dermatologists at Ambroziak Clinic remove nevi in different ways, so that convalescence is short and the scar - invisible.
