Total Body Mole Mapping

Total body mole mapping is a digital dermoscopy method for the early detection of skin cancer, especially melanoma. Instead of examining moles only by eye, a clinician uses high-resolution cameras and magnified dermoscopic imaging to photograph and catalogue every mole and spot on the body. These images form a baseline record, and at later visits the same areas are re-imaged and compared, so even subtle new or changing lesions stand out. Catching a suspicious change early, when a mole is most treatable, is the single most valuable benefit of this painless, non-invasive check.
