• Avoid wearing makeup and nail polish

WHAT HAPPENS AT MY MOLE MAPPING APPOINTMENT?
For the initial (baseline) examination we recommend an appointment with the Consultant Dermatologist, in order to have your moles examined and be advised if FotoFinder Total Body Photography is appropriate for you. Following that consultation, one of our medical professionals will invite you to the FotoFinder examination for your photographs to be taken.
If the patient is younger than 18 years, a parent or legal guardian must be present.
A typical session includes a series of 16-20 photographs of various zones of your body. You may undress to your level of comfort. If advised by the consultant, photography may include breasts, buttocks, and/or ge****ls (unless you decline photography of these areas). Some of the moles identified by the consultant will have High-Definition Video Dermoscopy images taken following the Total Body Photography examination. Prior to your session, you will be asked to sign an informed consent form. The examination takes about 30 minutes.

The key to successful treatment of skin cancer is to recognise changes in your skin as soon as possible. While patients can play an important role in ensuring skin health by conducting self-examinations, people with certain risk factors may benefit from a more systematic screening approach to support early detection. Mole mapping allows us to keep close track of, and react quickly to, potentially dangerous changes in your skin.

Who should consider mole mapping?
Mole mapping could be beneficial for anyone who is concerned about the possibility of skin cancer. In particular, people with certain risk factors for developing skin cancer should consider mole mapping. Those at increased risk include people with a personal or family history of skin cancer, people with fair skin sensitive to sunlight, with a large number of moles or moles that have recently changed and people who have experienced excessive sun exposure as children or adolescents or who used sunbeds.
