Mole mapping

Consultation at our clinic

Mole mapping is one of the most thorough melanoma surveillance tools available — a way to monitor at-risk moles systematically over time rather than relying on memory.

What happens during a mole map

Our trained nurse takes total body digital images to create a baseline reference, then uses skin surface microscopy to digitally image each irregular lesion at 30x magnification, archiving it against its exact location on the body. A consultant dermatologist sees every patient for the initial assessment and reviews all images at follow-up visits alongside a full skin exam.

Who it’s for: patients with many moles, a family history of melanoma, or a previous skin cancer diagnosis who need ongoing surveillance rather than a one-off check.
