Melanoma Detection & Treatment in Dubai

Melanoma is one of the most serious forms of skin cancer, often developing from existing moles or new pigmented spots that appear on the skin. When detected early, melanoma is highly treatable and curable. At Dr. Rami Hamed Center (DRHC) in Dubai, our dermatology specialists offer advanced melanoma detection and treatment using the latest diagnostic technologies and evidence-based medical approaches to ensure the best outcomes for our patients.

Understanding Melanoma

Melanoma occurs when the pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) in the skin begin to grow abnormally. It is primarily caused by excessive exposure to UV rays from sunlight or tanning beds. Unlike other types of skin cancer, melanoma can spread quickly to other parts of the body if not treated early, making a timely diagnosis crucial.

Common warning signs include:

• Changes in the size, color, or shape of existing moles
• Appearance of new dark or irregular patches
• Itching, bleeding, or crusting of a mole

Our dermatologists use the ABCDE rule (Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, Evolving) to assess suspicious moles and lesions.

Melanoma Detection at DRHC

At DRHC Dubai, we use advanced skin cancer screening and imaging technologies such as dermoscopy and digital mole mapping to accurately detect abnormal skin lesions. When necessary, a skin biopsy is performed to confirm the diagnosis and determine the stage of the melanoma.

Early detection significantly improves treatment success and helps prevent the spread of the disease.
