Are you worried about an existing or changing mole?
We offer a peace of mind mole check service using Map My Mole technology, whereby reports are submitted for review and assessed by dermatologists to see if further investigations are required. Mole screening is designed to detect any skin changes or anomalies early and can also serve as a precursor to mole reduction or removal, if necessary.
Keeping an eye on your skin is one of the best ways to take charge of your health, but we know it can sometimes feel a little daunting to decide which spots need professional attention. Whether you’ve noticed a subtle change in a long-standing freckle or a brand-new mark that wasn’t there previously, getting a clear answer provides invaluable peace of mind. We’re here to help you navigate those skin changes with a medically reviewed screening process designed to guide you toward the right next steps & give recommendations.
It is ideal if you have:
Initially, a medical professional will ask about your health history and any specific concerns you have. Using a high-definition tool called a dermascope, we’ll take clear, detailed images of your moles. We send them securely to expert dermatologists at Map My Mole, who provide an expert report within just 48 hours.
As soon as we receive your results, we will reach out to you directly with their advice. Whether it’s giving you total peace of mind or guiding you through the next steps for treatment, we are here to support you every step of the way.
Mole checks are more important than ever as skin cancer rates are at an all-time high in the UK. Catching a melanoma early makes treatments easier with a far better outcome. Melanomas can spread depending on the type and tumour depth. (Breslow thickness). Get your mole checked if there are any changes at all- do not delay!
Your GP can also check for moles, but since we have more available appointments, you may be seen sooner. If we need to refer, we can, and you should be seen within two weeks by a specialist.

Not at all. The assessment is entirely non-invasive and painless. We use a specialised handheld magnifier called a dermascope to take high-resolution photos of your skin’s surface. There are no needles, no cutting, and no discomfort involved.
We know that waiting can be the hardest part, so we prioritise a fast turnaround. Once your images are securely sent to the specialist dermatologists at Map My Mole, you will typically receive a detailed expert report and clear advice on next steps within 48 hours.
Your health is in expert hands. The initial screening and imaging are performed by Dr Pradnya. The final review and report are then completed by UK-based consultant dermatologists at Map My Mole, who specialise in skin lesions and skin cancer.
If a mole requires further investigation, don’t worry, we won’t leave you wondering what to do. Your report will include specific recommendations for the next steps, and we will contact you directly to discuss how to arrange a follow-up or treatment with the appropriate specialist.
To get the clearest possible images, we recommend that the area being checked is free of makeup, fake tan, or heavy lotions. If the mole is in an area with a lot of hair, it can also be helpful to gently trim the hair beforehand, though this isn’t always necessary.
