Pigment changes - Take good care of your skin

Pigmentary changes can occur as a result of intensive sunbathing, certain medications and the use of cosmetics or perfumes. These changes can also occur as a result of inflammation or injury to the skin.

Pigment changes - Aren't they birthmarks?

A pigment change can have different faces. The classic pigment changes include freckles, age spots and birthmarks. It is not always obvious to a layperson whether the pigment change is benign or malignant. A visit to the doctor is advisable in any case.

Pigment changes - Professional diagnosis is recommended

In our practice, we rely on careful diagnostics by means of reflected-light microscopy or tissue sampling to rule out the possibility that the pigment change is a precancerous lesion or even skin cancer. In cooperation with a reliable laboratory, we work out a reliable diagnosis for you. In order to remove even benign changes promptly, professionally and safely, our practice has state-of-the-art equipment.
