Abstract
In the case of a suspicious skin mole, the question always arises as to whether it is benign or malignant. Is it a harmless mole, a capillary malformation or a basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma or even a melanoma? Often the nevus can already be assessed by a close examination of the lesion and a few questions regarding its development. But most important: the patients need to be informed about their condition in a simple but professional way.
