Mole Check
Early detection of skin cancer can be life-saving. At Chiswick Clinic, we specialise in the examination of your skin, detect early signs of skin cancer such as melanoma and track any changes over time. Led by Dr. Bela, a renowned dermatologist with more than 25 years of experience, our mole clinic in West London offers advanced diagnostics and expert guidance.
If you’re worried about a mole or have developed a new mole, it’s important to check with a qualified skin specialist. Our non-invasive digital imaging and mole mapping technology allows us to assess skin lesions and detect abnormalities early. We help protect your skin while offering peace of mind.
Mole Check options
We offer a range of mole assessments:
Would you notice this melanoma?
The signs of skin cancer can be subtle. Many melanomas don’t look dangerous, which is why it’s so important to check your skin every 6 to 12 months.
The Chiswick Clinic approach to mole check
We provide a detailed examination of moles and skin lesions using modern tools like dermoscopy and comparative imaging. Our aim is to help identify cancerous moles before they become life-threatening.
Why choose our mole clinic in West London?
Chiswick Clinic is a trusted skin clinic serving West London residents seeking expert care in skin cancer prevention, detection, and mole analysis. Whether you have many moles or just one that looks irregular in shape or colour, we offer specialist support and clear answers.
Who is Dr. Bela?
Dr. Bela began his medical journey at the National Institute of Oncology, where he saw how critical early melanoma detection is. He founded MelanomaMobil in Budapest, a mole-focused skin cancer screening service that now performs over 6,000 mole evaluations annually.
As a leading dermatologist and keynote speaker, Dr. Bela educates professionals and the public on melanoma skin cancer and early detection. He is also the lead developer of an AI-based tool that supports accurate diagnosis through comparative mole analysis.
What makes our service unique?
We use advanced mole imaging and mole mapping to monitor changes in existing moles and detect new ones. Using modified pattern analysis—we check for any signs of malignant melanoma when we differentiate it from dysplastic naevus. Our goal is to diagnose and act fast.
Dr. Bela also shares educational content with over 20,000 TikTok followers, teaching how to check your skin for warning signs including the soles of your feet. He won a diagnostic challenge at the 2023 Dermoscopy Masterclass in Rome and recently delivered keynote lectures at MelanomaMobil’s 20th anniversary.
What are the risk factors?
The risk of skin cancer increases with:
- Fair skin type
- History of sunburn with blistering
- Family history of melanoma
- Having lots of moles and atypical moles
- Exposure to UV light or tanning beds
According to Cancer Research UK, skin cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the UK. It is especially important to check your skin if you have a high risk of skin cancer or have noticed changes in moles. We recommend our patient to use the ABCDE rule — Asymmetry, Border, Colour, Diameter, Evolving in between screenings to check their moles.
Why is a full-body mole check important?
At Chiswick Clinic, Dr. Bela always performs a full body mole check—never just a single mole. This comprehensive approach is essential because skin cancer or melanoma can appear anywhere on the body, including areas that are difficult to see yourself. Many patients point to one visible lesion, but it’s often a different, unnoticed mole that requires attention. By examining the entire skin surface, we ensure that no suspicious moles are missed, giving you the most accurate and thorough evaluation possible.
Should you see your GP or a dermatologist?
If you notice a mole or skin lesion changing in shape or colour, or developing symptoms like crust, itching, or bleeding, you can see your GP as a first step. They may refer you for further evaluation. However, at Chiswick Clinic, our dermatologist Dr. Bela provides a highly specialised mole assessment using advanced diagnostic tools that are not typically available in GP practices. With over 25 years of focused experience in mole checks and skin cancer detection, Dr. Bela offers expert opinions, accurate diagnostics, and fast access to mole mapping, dermoscopy, and other high-resolution imaging technologies. If you’re looking for clarity, peace of mind, and the confidence of a second opinion, we are here to help.
What is mole removal?
We offer safe, professional mole removal in Chiswick for moles that are suspicious, symptomatic, or unwanted. Removal of moles is preceded by a thorough examination, followed by a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.
Our clinic works closely with dermatology professionals and plastic surgeons to ensure you receive all-inclusive care.
