Mole Screening

What is Map My Mole Screening?

Map My Mole is a specialized mole screening service designed to help individuals monitor and track changes in their moles over time. It utilises advanced technology and trained professionals to assess moles for signs of skin cancer or other abnormalities.

How does it work?

Map My Mole uses a combination of visual examination and digital imaging to analyse moles. During the screening process, a trained specialist will carefully examine each mole using a dermatoscope, a tool that magnifies and illuminates the skin. High-resolution images of suspicious moles are then captured for further analysis.

Why should I consider using it?

Regular mole screenings are essential for early detection of skin cancer, including melanoma. Map My Mole provides a convenient and thorough way to monitor your moles for any changes that could indicate a potential health concern. Early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment.

Who is it suitable for?

Map My Mole is suitable for anyone concerned about the health of their skin or who has a history of sun exposure or skin cancer. It is particularly recommended for individuals with numerous moles or those with a family history of melanoma.

How often should you be screened?

The frequency of screenings depends on individual risk factors, such as skin type, sun exposure history, and personal or family history of skin cancer. In general, annual screenings are recommended for most individuals, but your Map My Mole specialist will provide personalized guidance based on your unique situation.

Are the Map My Mole specialists qualified?

Yes, the specialists at Map My Mole are trained professionals with expertise in dermatology and skin cancer detection. They undergo rigorous training to ensure accurate mole assessment and provide personalised recommendations based on your screening results.

What happens if a suspicious mole is detected?

If a suspicious mole is identified during your Map My Mole screening, your specialist will discuss the findings with you and recommend further action. This may include monitoring the mole closely, performing a biopsy, or referring you to a dermatologist or oncologist for additional evaluation and treatment.

Is it only for skin cancer detection?

While Map My Mole primarily focuses on detecting signs of skin cancer, our screenings can also help identify other skin conditions or abnormalities that may require medical attention. Our goal is to promote overall skin health and wellness through early detection and prevention strategies.
