Melanocytic nevi (MN) are believed to undergo macroscopic and dermoscopic alterations during pregnancy. Possible changing features previously observed include color, pigment network, size, vascularization and the emerging of dots and globules. Recent studies have reported of melanoma being associated with increased mortality in pregnant women when compared to non-pregnant women. The new FotoFinder® ATBM master device provides the combination of total body mapping with deep learning-driven body scan algorithm which identifies all pigmented skin lesions of the body surface by pattern recognition software and supplies a risk assessment score (0.0-1.0; 0 indicating no suspicion for melanoma, 1 indicating a high suspicion for melanoma).
This study is
* to analyze whether more changes in melanocytic nevi (MN) occur in women during and after pregnancy compared to non-pregnant women of the same age
* and to analyze psychological effects of total body mapping and dermoscopic examination assisted by artificial intelligence during pregnancy.
