Do I need a mole health check?

Moles are a common skin growth. They typically appear as dark brown spots on the skin. Most moles are harmless, but changes in size, shape, and colour can be a cause for concern.

These are some important symptoms to look out for:

  • A mole that has changed colour, gotten darker, or has more than two colours
  • A mole with uneven borders
  • A mole that changes shape
  • A mole that is bleeding, itching, crusty or raised
  • A mole that has gotten larger or more raised

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a GP referral?

You do not need to have a GP referral for a mole mapping, although it would be useful to have one.
How long will the mole mapping take?

On average a consultation is between 20 minutes, and mole mapping takes around 30 minutes.
What happens during mole mapping?

Your consultant will take a detailed history, and then perform the mole mapping procedure. The procedure involves being photographed using a special camera and dermoscopic lens. This then creates a map of your skin, which is analysed by your consultant.

During your appointment your consultant will advise you of any concerns.
Do I need to prepare for mole mapping?

It would be useful if you can share any concerns you have, as well as any details you have relating to previous treatment(s).
What do I wear for mole mapping?

The consultant will want to assess your skin closely, so you may need to change into a hospital gown.

We advise you wear clothes that can be taken on and off easily and are comfortable.
What are the potential treatment options?

This of course depends on the diagnosis, but in general, treatment can include removal of moles and biopsy.

Your consultant will discuss all the treatment options with you before agreeing on a treatment plan.
