Monitoring moles with whole-body photography

Bit of a plug for the Mole Clinic, London, which coincidentally offers a private screening service

16-Jun-2019

Key points from article :

Melanomas can be completely treatable if you catch them early by checking regularly.

People should check their skin every three to four months.

A thorough way is to get whole-body photography once a year.

Check against that to see if there are any new moles or if any of them have changed.

Some NHS providers can do a mole-map if you have a family history of skin cancers.
