What happens during mole mapping? Here's why you should check your moles

Description:

Here's why you should get your moles mapped! Mole mapping identifies new moles or changes to existing moles, which can be a sign of skin cancer. During your appointment, a consultant dermatologist will closely examine your moles and take photos. Your consultant will let you know if they identify any abnormalities. If so, they may recommend a biopsy or the removal of any abnormal moles. Regular mole mapping creates an ongoing record of your moles. This can make it easier to detect any changes, leading to a faster diagnosis and treatment. Mole mapping is a quick, painless and simple procedure, but it can make a big difference.
