The MOLE-ANALYZER® is a handy diagnostic tool to check suspicious skin moles and thereby facilitate early diagnosis of malignant melanoma. Each and every physician should use this tool on a regular routine basis, as should any individual who has more than 10 pigmented moles on the skin. If you are at elevated risk to develop more and more suspicious-looking moles over time, you can use this tool to obtain over time increasing skills and scrutiny in assessing your pigmented skin lesions yourself.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Malignant melanoma - the most dangerous and often deadly skin cancer type kills many thousand individuals each year who might have survived if their cancers had been picked early. So, early diagnosis is crucial and may save lives because the cancer is diagnosed before tumor cell spread occurs. Be aware that in melanoma the critical diagnostic range lies within millimeters, defining the threshold of survival in this disease. Using a scheduled routine for skin self-exam, and using this handy tool, you might be prompted earlier to request a physician's professional help in assessing a pigmented skin lesion for definitive clarification. And there is even more benefits to make use of: In combination with the 'MOLES 'N' MORE' (MOLE ANALYSIS GUIDE) pc software, you might even get trained up to a professional level for safely assessing doubtful skin lesions on your own skin prior to a doctor's visit.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Skin
self-exam does not replace an in-person physician's exam if suspicious findings need clarification.
HOW TO USE?
The MOLE-ANALYZER® allows for a quick structure assessment in any pigmented lesion on the skin. By simply placing the tool's circular openings onto the suspicious mole in question, its diametric extension can be read from the tool's scale while providing additional information on the mole's shape (asymmetrical/symmetrical), following the criteria of the A-B-C-D rule. Vertical mole extension can easily be measured as the tool provides a millimetric measurement scale. There is a color scale to reproducibly follow color changes over time, and a circular planar magnifying glass to view the mole's surface in detail. If adequate illumination is provided, the magnifying glass view even approximates the technique of derm(at)oscopy without the need to use a dermatoscope.
