Mole Check
Mole Check at The Cadogan Clinic is the UK’s most comprehensive for the diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer; and is the only mole check approved by the British Skin Foundation.
Moles are often harmless, but they can be irritating and catch on clothing and jewellery alike. Occasionally, they can be a sign of cancer. The NHS and NICE guidelines recommend having your moles checked by an expert every six months – at a minimum. If you’ve had a mole removed, it’s every three months.
The good news is that skin cancers from moles that are found and removed early are almost always curable and early diagnosis matters. A person with a melanoma of less than 0.75mm thick can expect to have a 95% cure rate. 52% of the melanoma we find are discovered by monitoring and identifying the tiniest of changes each time you come in with our mole-mapping service. Changes can be monitored both externally and internally for signs that aren’t visible to the naked eye.
What makes our mole check service different?
- Dermatologist Led: every Mole Check patient is seen by one of our consultant Dermatologists and not a nurse.
- Mole Map: each patient leaves with a comprehensive computer controlled Mole Map of their entire body.
- Long Term Monitoring: our Mole Mapping technology and our Dermatologist led approach allows us to spot even the subtlest of changes and moles over time.
- Dermoscopy: any mole that a Dermatologist is concerned about will be examined on the spot under a high powered dermatology microscope.
- Treatment: we have 3 fully staffed operation theatres on site for the rapid, same day removal of worrisome moles.
- Plastic Surgeons: for the removal of bigger or deeper moles, or those in more visible places, a Consultant Plastic Surgeon can undertake the procedure to minimise any scarring risk.
- Mohs: we are one of the only clinics in the UK to offer Mohs surgery on site. This is recognised by NICE as the optimal approach to skin cancer removal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a mole check?
Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in the UK but the good news is that if the signs and symptoms are spotted early it will be much easier to treat. If you have moles on your face and body, it’s a good idea to keep a check on them and monitor any changes for your own peace of mind. At Cadogan Cosmetics we have some of the best dermatologists and plastic surgeons in the country as well as our mole mapping system, rapid diagnostic services including 24 hour histology results and our “see and treat” service for mole removal.
What is a skin cancerous mole?
Most people have moles which remain perfectly fine throughout their lifetime but if you notice signs that a mole has changed in any way, it is wise to go and have it checked by a dermatologist or doctor during a mole check to make sure it is not cancerous. This kind of skin cancer includes melanomas, basal cell carcinomas, and squamous cell carcinomas. Moles can also be precancerous lesions, changes that are not cancer but could become cancer over time. The good news is that skin cancer can be cured if it’s found and treated early. Contact the Mole Clinic at Cadogan Cosmetics for more information.
What should I do if I have a bleeding mole or an itchy mole?
There are definite signs that a mole could be a melanoma and should be seen immediately by a dermatologist. If you have a new mole or a change in your moles such as bleeding, changes in shape, size or colour, itchy or painful moles- it’s a good idea to book an appointment at the Cadogan Cosmetics Mole Clinic as soon as possible.
