MAP MY MOLE
What is Map My Mole?
Are you worried about a mole ? Do you have a lesion that is concerning you?
With the increasing demand and high private Dermatology fees, and getting to see a GP takes time and often results in a referral to a specialist. The time from start to finish for a patient can be weeks, for some patients this is an anxious wait, which is avoidable.
We now provide a mole screening service in clinic with Map My Mole which is aligned with the British Association of Dermatologists teledermatology guidelines.
What to expect
We will take images of your mole or skin lesion using a specialist, medical grade camera called a “dermoscope”. It uses light and magnification to help a dermatologist see how your skin looks in more detail than you would be able to see with a naked eye or normal camera. The detailed images will make it easier to spot abnormalities that may require further investigation or diagnostic tests.
Once we’ve taken images of your mole, we will send them to consultant dermatologist. The consultant will review the images and prepare a report for us so we can advise you on next steps.
Images are reviewed by consultant dermatologist who are experts in the field and within 48 hours reports are generated ensure patients are explained as to what the lesion represents. If a concerning mole is imaged the dermatologist will inform the patient providing them with a report that can be sent to their GP to speed up any referral. Map My Mole is the first and only UK company offering this partnership with clinics.
Price is for up to 3 moles to be mapped.
