Expert Mole Checks, Delivered Locally

Worried about a mole? Now you can get it checked quickly and safely at your local pharmacy.
Our service provides fast access to UK consultant dermatologists, without the wait.

1. Drop in or Book Online

Pop into the pharmacy or book ahead—whichever suits you best. Our team will walk you through what to expect and check you in.

2. Your 10-Minute Skin Check

A trained pharmacy team member will use a medical-grade dermatoscope attached to a smartphone to capture high-quality images of your mole. A brief questionnaire will be completed with you before we send everything securely for review.

3. Remote Consultant Review

Your images are uploaded instantly and reviewed by a UK-based consultant dermatologist. You’ll receive a written report in 24–48 hours, often much faster than the standard NHS route.

4. Get Your Results

Your report will tell you clearly if your mole looks normal, needs monitoring, or should be looked at more closely. A copy is also shared with the pharmacy to help support any follow-up steps.

5. What Happens Next?

If further action is needed, you’ll be contacted directly by the Map My Mole team with clear advice. That may include a recommendation to see your GP or simply some timely reassurance that no further steps are needed.

FAQs: 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.
