What Is the Map My Mole Screening Service?

Map My Mole is a UK-established, clinically governed mole screening service used widely across community healthcare settings. Through this partnership, we enable patients to access specialist dermatology assessments using advanced dermatoscopic imaging and consultant review.

This service is designed to support:

  • Early identification of moles or lesions that may require further investigation.
  • Supporting reassurance through expert clinical assessment.
  • Timely referral where clinically appropriate.

Why Choose a Pharmacy-Based Mole Screening Service?

Dermatology concerns account for a large proportion of GP appointments, often resulting in referral wait times of several weeks. Community pharmacy provides a safe, accessible alternative, without adding pressure to NHS services.

With our mole mapping service, you can: 

  • Be seen promptly in a local, private setting. 
  • Receive expert review within 24–48 hours. 
  • Gain reassurance or fast-tracked guidance where needed. 

What to Expect During Your Mole Screening Appointment?

Appointments are discreet, clinically focused, and usually completed within 10-15 minutes.

Clinical Skin Assessment

A trained healthcare professional will visually assess the mole or lesion using the recognised ABCDE criteria: 

  • Asymmetry 
  • Border irregularity 
  • Colour variation 
  • Diameter 
  • Evolving size, shape, or colour 

Personal Risk Context

Relevant background factors, including skin type, sun exposure history, and personal or family history of skin cancer, are discussed to support accurate review.

Dermatoscopic Imaging

A medical-grade dermatoscope with polarised light is used to assess the lesion in detail, revealing structural features not visible to the naked eye.

Secure Digital Submission

High-quality images are securely uploaded to the Map My Mole system for consultant dermatologist assessment.

Consultant Dermatologist Report

A clear, easy-to-understand report is returned to both the patient and the pharmacy, usually within 24–48 hours, outlining findings.
