What you need to know
What is Map My Mole?
A consultant-led mole review service available in select pharmacies. Using a medical lens and app, we capture images of your mole and send them securely to a UK dermatologist for review. You get your report in 24–48 hours.
Is it safe?
Yes. All images are reviewed by experienced UK consultant dermatologists and the service follows strict clinical safety guidelines. No diagnosis is made in the pharmacy itself.
Who reviews the mole?
Your case is reviewed by a real consultant dermatologist registered with the GMC — not by AI or automated tools.
Do I need to prepare anything?
No special preparation is required. If the mole is hidden by hair, trimming it can help with image quality, but it's not essential.
Will I get a diagnosis?
Yes. You'll receive a written report saying if your mole is benign, needs monitoring, or requires further medical attention.
What if something serious is found?
You'll be contacted by Map My Mole and guided on what to do next — this might mean seeing your GP or accessing one of our trusted clinical partners for further care.
Is this service for children?
Yes, for children over 16. Younger patients must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
When should I get a mole checked?
If a mole is changing shape, colour or size, if it itches, bleeds or crusts, or if you simply feel unsure or anxious about it.
