Specific Lesion
or Spot of Concern
Not every patient needs a full-body skin examination. Sometimes you may just have one or two moles, lesions, or patches that you’re worried about. A Specific Lesion Review at DermLab is designed for these situations. Our Dermatologists will examine the area of concern in detail, use dermoscopy (a skin microscope) for accurate assessment, perform a biopsy on the spot if needed, so you don’t have to return for another appointment. This service provides rapid reassurance or early diagnosis — whichever is needed.
Why It’s Used
For patients with just 1–2 spots of concern
For a new or changing mole
For a patch that won’t heal
For reassurance after noticing sun damage or skin changes
As a fast way to rule out or confirm skin cancer
How It Works
Focused Consultation – You’ll explain what’s worrying you and when you noticed the change.
Targeted Examination – The Dermatologist examines the specific mole, patch, or lesion in detail.
Immediate Biopsy if Needed – Most suspicious lesions can be biopsied at the same time.
Next Steps – You’ll receive a clear plan, whether it’s monitoring, removal, or further treatment.
