Mole Inspection

At Skin inspection, we provide the highest quality mole mapping, which is personally performed by a consultant dermatologist with special interest in skin cancer examination. We take dermoscopic images of ALL your moles.

First, we use the latest technology to take images of the whole skin surface from head to toe. The result is saved into a database, as a baseline for future surveillance. Then the patient will get a thorough dermoscopy examination of every mole, from head to toe. We will then take digital dermoscopic images of some moles to identify potentially dangerous melanomas. The consultant dermatologist personally examines the patient and selects which moles need to have more detailed monitoring. Research has shown that computer-aided mole analysers are not accurate enough. This differentiates us from most private clinics that offer mole mapping run by non-dermatologists

Follow-up examination

The patients are scheduled for a follow-up examination in three, six or 12 months to reassess the current moles with that of the stored images. At each follow-up visit, the consultant dermatologist compares the sequential dermoscopic images and examines the lesions for potential changes over time. If there are substantial changes, it can indicate skin cancer and mole removal would be recommended. There are some early skin cancers that can be recognised only by observing their dynamic evolution over time.
