Get Your Mole Checked by an Expert

If you're worried about a mole, you should get it checked by your GP or a dermatologist.

It can take time though to get a GP appointment and GPs will often refer to Dermatology.

An alternative is to see a private dermatologist, but they also often have waiting time for appointments and generally cost £175-250 in South Wales.

Mole Check South Wales provides a fast way for your mole to get checked by a Consultant Dermatologist using digital image capture.

How long does it take to get my results?

After your images and information are transmitted to Map My Mole, you will receive a copy of your report within 48 hours. Sometimes reports come back as quickly as within the hour.

What is the price of the mole check service?

The fee is £100 for up to 3 moles or skin lesions.

A £30 deposit is required to secure your appointment, which is redeemable against the cost of your Mole Check.

What is the procedure for taking the images?

First some clinical photos are taken - these are normal photos but high quality. Next, a small amount of ultrasound gel is applied to your mole; this can feel cold. The special lens (dermatoscope) is gently held over your mole, touching the gel (the glass will feel cold). Photos are taken through the special lens.

Where are my images sent?

Your images are submitted electronically to Map My Mole by Community Dermatology Limited. The Map My Mole service is aligned with the British Association of Dermatologists teledermatology guidelines.
