Your skin changes over time, and while most moles are harmless, some can develop features that require closer assessment. Regular mole mapping allows suspicious changes to be identified early, providing reassurance and supporting the early detection of skin cancer.
Dr. George Kravvas is a Harley Street consultant dermatologist offering comprehensive digital mole mapping in London. Using advanced imaging technology and expert clinical assessment, he monitors your moles over time and creates a personalised surveillance plan based on your individual risk factors.
Mole mapping is a specialist skin surveillance technique that records high-quality images of your moles and compares them over time. Rather than relying on memory alone, digital photographs allow even subtle changes in size, colour or shape to be detected during future appointments.

Mole mapping helps identify suspicious changes that may indicate melanoma at an early stage. While it does not replace biopsy where necessary, it is one of the most effective methods for monitoring high-risk patients.
The recommended interval depends on your individual risk profile. Some patients benefit from annual monitoring, while higher-risk individuals may require more frequent reviews.
Yes. Mole mapping is particularly valuable for people with numerous moles because it allows accurate comparison over time and makes subtle changes easier to detect.
If a mole shows concerning features, Dr. Kravvas will explain the findings and discuss whether further investigation, biopsy or removal is recommended.
