About mole mapping
Early detection, with a full record
Mole mapping creates a detailed photographic record of your skin. High-resolution photographs of your whole body are taken, along with magnified dermoscopic images of individual moles.
AI-assisted software helps to highlight moles that look unusual or have changed since your last visit. Mr Kumar reviews every image and makes the final assessment, as the software supports rather than replaces clinical judgement.
At follow-up visits, new images are compared with your previous ones, so small changes can be picked up early, when skin cancer is most treatable.
Mole mapping is recommended for
- Many moles (more than 50)
- Unusual or atypical moles
- A personal or family history of melanoma
- Fair skin that burns easily, or a history of sunburn
- Peace of mind if you are worried about your moles

Get in touch
Call, email or send an enquiry, or ask your GP or dermatologist to refer you. We aim to see you quickly.
If you are worried about a skin cancer, tell us when you book so we can prioritise your appointment.
Assessment
Mr Kumar examines the area, reviews any biopsy results or scans, and explains your options clearly.
You will receive the plan in writing. Where relevant, your case is discussed with the skin cancer multidisciplinary team (MDT) that Mr Kumar leads.
Your procedure
You undress to your underwear while a series of photographs is taken, then any moles of concern are examined with a dermatoscope. The appointment takes about 45 to 60 minutes.
You will have clear wound-care instructions and a number to call if anything worries you.
Results
Anything removed is examined in the laboratory, usually within 2–3 weeks.
Mr Kumar goes through the results with you and explains what, if anything, needs to happen next.
Follow-up
A wound check and, where needed, regular skin checks to keep you well in the future.
You will also be shown how to check your own skin and what changes to look out for.
