Mole mapping and digital dermoscopy for mole assessment in Dermatology Clinic and Aesthetic Surgery of Puebla
About the clinic
Mole mapping and digital dermoscopy at the Dermatology Clinic and Aesthetic Surgery of Puebla in Puebla, Mexico, identifies suspicious skin lesions. The initial mole assessment typically costs around 600 MXN (approximately $30). This diagnostic uses high-magnification imaging to distinguish benign moles from early melanoma patterns before they are visible to the naked eye.
Diagnostic Features and Equipment
The clinic utilizes digital dermoscopy with polarized and non-polarized light at 10x to 30x magnification. Specialists also use VISIA Canfield technology, which employs UV and polarized light to detect actinic damage. For patients with more than 50 moles or a family history of melanoma, the medical team performs standardized body mole mapping. This process allows for active surveillance and digital follow-up every 6 to 12 months to monitor lesion evolution.
What the Assessment Includes
- Clinical diagnosis. A physical examination of pigmented lesions.
- Digital dermoscopy. Detailed imaging of each individual lesion.
- ABCDE criteria assessment. Evaluation of asymmetry, borders, color variation, diameter, and evolution.
- Treatment plan. Recommendations for next steps or monitoring based on findings.
Specialist Expertise
Dr. Arístides Arellano Huacuja interprets the results. He is a member of the International Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ISDS) and completed postgraduate training in plastic surgery in Buenos Aires. Dr. Dafne Arellano Montalvo also supports the diagnostic process. She holds a Master's in Laser and Phototherapy from the Universitat de Barcelona and a Master in Facial Anatomy from Université Nice Sophia Antipolis.
Safety and Results
The examination is an in-person diagnostic because dermoscopic patterns cannot be accurately read from remote photos. If the assessment detects high-suspicion lesions, such as those with atypical vessels or a blue-white veil, the clinic provides an immediate referral to skin oncology. No suspicious lesion is removed without a prior biopsy to ensure diagnostic accuracy. The facility holds verifiable SEP professional certificates and uses COFEPRIS-registered and FDA-approved equipment. Patients may request a consultation to begin their skin screening through Bookimed.
