Why people pick this appointment	I want the most comprehensive monitoring approach. I want baseline images so future checks focus on what’s new or changing. I have many moles and find it difficult to keep track of change by eye alone. I have a family history of skin cancer and want to be particularly careful.	I want a comprehensive head-to-toe skin check. I want a thorough examination today, without baseline photography or ongoing image comparison. I’ve noticed changes or new spots and want a full assessment. I’ve had mole mapping performed previously and am attending for a follow-up skin check.	I have one to three specific spots I’m concerned about. I’ve recently had a full body skin check and only need targeted assessment. I prefer a focused, conservative check rather than a full examination. I’m monitoring a known lesion and want it reviewed.
