Consultant review
Your images are uploaded securely and personally reviewed by a UK consultant dermatologist.
Your written report
Within 24–48 hours you receive a clear report: benign, monitor, or needs further attention. The pharmacy receives a copy to support you.
Clear next steps
If follow-up is needed, the Map My Mole clinical team contacts you directly and guides you — from GP referral to timely reassurance.
A closer look than the naked eye — or a photo — can give
A dermatoscope uses polarised light and magnification to reveal the structures beneath the surface of your skin, helping dermatologists spot changes that ordinary photographs miss. We attach it to a smartphone, capture the images in the Map My Mole app, and send them securely for specialist review. No images are stored on the phone after your appointment.
- No preparation needed — just turn up
- Painless and non-invasive; a little gel may be applied
- Moles, skin lesions and skin tags can all be checked
- No fixed size limit — larger lesions are covered with multiple overlapping images; raised or irregular lesions can be captured on video
- Delivered by trained staff under pharmacist supervision
Example report — sample patient details redacted.
A clear, personal report — not just a yes or no
Within 24–48 hours you receive a written report from the reviewing consultant, in plain English. Every report includes:
- A working diagnosis of your mole, lesion or skin tag
- A clear outcome — reassurance, monitoring, or further review
- An explanation of the condition and what it means for you
- The reviewing consultant's name and GMC number
- Your camera and dermatoscopic images, kept on record
- A copy for the pharmacy, so we can support your next steps
Your questions, answered in 2 minutes
When to get a mole or lesion checked — and when to see your GP instead
📍 Book a check if you notice…
- A mole changing in size, shape or colour
- A new mole that looks unusual or different from the rest
- A mole that itches, bleeds or crusts
- A skin tag or lesion you'd like assessed (or are considering having removed)
- A spot that simply doesn't feel right to you
Early checking supports early diagnosis — the key to better outcomes.
⚠️ See your GP or urgent care instead if…
- The mole is bleeding heavily, very painful, or shows signs of infection
- You have a rapidly spreading rash with fever or feel unwell
- You've already been referred to hospital for this mole (e.g. a two-week-wait referral)
- The mole is in an area where safe imaging isn't possible (e.g. genital area, inside the mouth)
- You're worried about more than 3 new or changing moles — an in-person full-skin check is more appropriate
Our team will always advise you if the service isn't suitable in your case.
