Spectroscopic analysis

Biopsy and excision procedures for suspected skin cancers frequently cause scarring. Other adverse effects include bleeding, bruising, pain and infection. In cases where your doctor believes your lesion is most likely not skin cancer, spectroscopy can provide further evidence that the lesion is harmless. This often means that no biopsy or surgical excision procedure is required.

Dysplastic moles were long thought to be precursors to melanoma. But in most cases, they are harmless and never cause any health issues.
