Map My Mole at SkinFirst Warrington
What is Map My Mole?

Using high-resolution imaging, a detailed photograph of the lesion is taken and securely sent to dermatology specialists for remote analysis.

At SkinFirst in Warrington, Map My Mole is offered within a clinical setting to ensure accurate image capture and appropriate assessment of the lesion prior to submission. While this is not a diagnostic service, it provides an efficient and accessible way to gain expert opinion on skin concerns, supporting early intervention where necessary and offering peace of mind where no further action is required.
What should I expect from Map My Mole?
Your appointment will begin with a consultation to review the lesion and determine whether it is suitable for screening. A high-quality image is then taken using a specialised device designed to capture clear, detailed visuals for analysis. The process itself is quick, non-invasive, and does not involve any treatment or discomfort.
Once submitted, the image is reviewed by dermatology specialists, and a report is returned, usually within a few days. The report will indicate whether the lesion appears benign or if further investigation is recommended. At SkinFirst in Warrington, any next steps will be clearly explained, including guidance on seeking further medical advice if required.
