Worried about your moles? Have your moles checked at our Mole Mapping clinic

What is a mole?

Moles are blemishes of various sizes and colours that are commonly seen on the body or face. They can be flat or raised and can be a variety of shapes. Although most moles are harmless, it is important to ensure a doctor examines any mole that changes shape, colour or starts to irritate.

Why have a mole checked?

A changing mole can be the first sign that a patient has a malignant melanoma. Early detection remains the most important factor in improving the survival rates of those diagnosed with melanoma.

Our Mole Mapping Clinic is led by expert Consultant Dermatologist Dr Nick Craven and offers the following:

  • Dermascopic imaging undertaken by fully qualified & trained medical photographer
  • Image review & analysis by Consultant Dermatologist
  • Written follow up report sent to your home
  • Call back system for re-check in 3-12 months if required
  • Prompt referral to Dermatologist or Surgeon if required

If you are worried, it's advisable to have your moles checked at our Mole Mapping Clinic.

What about cosmetic mole removal?

Moles are very common, but for some people they can have huge effect on self-confidence, espeically if the mole is on the face or other parts of the body where people can see them. If you have a mole that you know is not cancerous, having had it checked already, but would would still like it to be removed, it is usually a very simple procedure.
