Moles/Skin Lesions
Medical-Grade Imaging: Instead of relying on standard phone cameras, users capture pictures of their moles using a certified Class 1 medical device called the "Dyplens" (a dermatoscope) that attaches to their smartphone.
Expert Review: Images and a brief skin questionnaire are uploaded to the Map My Mole app or portal. They are then evaluated by UK-based, NHS-trained consultant dermatologists.
Fast Results: Within 24 to 48 hours, you receive a clinical report detailing whether the mole is benign (harmless) or if it requires further medical attention, such as a GP referral or private treatment.
Price: The cost of the service will be £75 for the first assessment and any others treated in the same appointment will be £40 extra.
For comparison, a private dermatologist appointment usually costs £250–£300, so our service offers fantastic value and without GP wait times.
It is designed to check specific areas of concern rather than providing full-body mole mapping. For more information or to access the service, visit the Map My Mole website or locate a participating clinic on their Map My Mole Clinic Finder.
You can walk into the pharmacy and get your assessment done on the day!

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
When should I get a mole checked?
• A mole is changing shape, colour, or size
• It itches, bleeds or crusts
• You feel unsure or anxious about it
⛔️ Who Shouldn’t Use This Service?
There are a few situations where it’s safer to see your GP directly:
• Moles that are bleeding heavily, infected, or very painful
• Rapidly spreading rashes with fever or other symptoms
• If you've already been referred to hospital for this mole
• Moles inside the mouth, genital area, or in difficult-to-photograph locations
• Under 16s without a parent/guardian
• If you have more than 3 new or suspicious moles needing review
Our team will advise you if the service isn’t suitable in your case.
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.
