Home / Services / GP Services / Mole Mapping 
Mole mapping is a detailed skin assessment that tracks moles and spots over time to help detect early changes and support early skin cancer detection.
What is mole mapping?
Mole mapping is a comprehensive skin monitoring process that involves photographing and recording moles and skin lesions across the body. These images are used as a baseline, allowing doctors to compare changes over time and identify spots that may require closer monitoring or further investigation.
Why is mole mapping important?

The 75+ health assessment is an important annual assessment. It is designed to identify and potentially prevent health issues, thereby improving quality of life. The purpose of this health assessment is to support the person to reach their health care goals, both long and short term. For example, a person might have a goal to remain independent in their own home as long as possible. In this instance we would explore what achieving that goal might look like and what (if any) interventions would need to be put in place in achieve this.

 

What assistance can I get from a health assessment?

Skin cancers can develop gradually and changes are not always easy to notice. Mole mapping helps by:

 

  • Detecting subtle changes early
  • Monitoring multiple moles over time
  • Supporting early diagnosis and timely treatment
  • Providing reassurance when moles remain stable

 

Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes.

Who should consider mole mapping?

Mole mapping may be suitable if you:

 

  • Have many moles or unusual moles
  • Have a personal or family history of skin cancer
  • Have fair skin or a history of sun exposure
  • Spend a lot of time outdoors
  • Have noticed new or changing moles

 

Your GP can advise whether mole mapping is right for you.

What happens during the appointment?

  • During a mole mapping appointment:
  • Your skin is examined by a trained clinician
  • High-quality images of moles and lesions are taken
  • A baseline record is created for future comparison
  • Any concerning spots may be monitored, biopsied, or referred if needed

 

The appointment is non-invasive and designed to be thorough and reassuring.

How often is mole mapping needed?

The frequency depends on your individual risk factors. Some patients may require annual reviews, while others may need monitoring at different intervals as advised by their doctor.
