Need a quick expert led skin check near you?

Skin cancer doesn’t discriminate, anyone can get it. Yet, certain factors may put you at higher risk. This includes fair skin, skin that burns easily, having a large number of moles, and a family or personal history of skin cancer. Learn more about the risk factors for skin cancer or take the Skin Cancer Risk Quiz.

When you book a MoleMap skin check you can expect to receive a thorough head-to-toe skin check by a trained melanographer. Any ‘at risk’ moles will be imaged and sent for dermatologist diagnosis. No referral is required to book this service, which often means quicker results.

Understanding the ABCDE + EFG rules can help you to recognise the early signs of melanoma.

Melanoma may look different to oth­er skin cancers. This is why a reg­u­lar skin check with a specialist in skin cancer detection is important. It’s also a good idea to do regular (ideally every 3 months) at-home skin checks. If you notice a change or an unusual mole, seek advice immediately.
