FAQS
How is mole mapping different from a routine skin check?
Explore more FAQsMole mapping is the process of photographing and documenting the entire skin surface and all the moles and lesions on it. Mole mapping is not the same as a full body skin examination, where a doctor examines and diagnoses your spots but does not necessarily take comprehensive photographs.
Reduce your skin cancer risk
At most skin cancer clinics or general practices, a skin check involves an examination by a doctor or nurse using a dermoscope to closely examine moles and other spots and lumps on the skin. Depending on the doctor or clinic, they may photograph individual moles or spots of interest. Mole mapping is an extra step in addition to a skin examination.
At Spot Check Clinic, we can perform mole mapping:
- In conjunction with a medical examination of your whole skin or a single spot of concern.
- As an independent procedure (e.g. if your skin has already been examined by another doctor who recommended you have mole mapping performed).
