Mole check without mole mapping is a non-invasive, full-body skin cancer screening performed by Dr. Bela, a highly experienced dermatologist. This 45-minute consultation is designed to check your skin thoroughly and provide immediate feedback. Every mole is examined using a dermatoscope, allowing precise analysis of skin lesions and early signs of melanoma skin cancer.
If you’ve noticed changes in moles or skin lesions, or you want reassurance, this consultation gives you direct access to a skin specialist without delay. With skin cancer being one of the most common cancers in the UK, it’s important to check your moles regularly and know what to look out for.
This service is for anyone who wants their skin and moles checked on the same day by a trained dermatologist. Dr. Bela offers an in-depth consultation and risk assessment during your appointment. It’s a fast and thorough way to track any changes over time and spot any changes that might indicate skin cancer.
Mole mapping is designed for patients with lots of moles or a higher risk of melanoma, using stored digital imaging to track changes annually. Mole check without mole mapping, however, involves direct dermatoscopic examination of every mole during your appointment. Images are only taken of atypical moles for later comparison during a follow-up visit.
During your mole check, Dr. Bela will examine every mole on your body using a handheld dermatoscope. This device helps magnify the mole structure and detect changes not visible to the naked eye. You’ll receive an immediate medical opinion and detailed skin cancer risk profile. If a mole could be suspicious, we will recommend mole removal and send it for histological analysis.
It’s common for patients to be concerned about one mole, but melanoma may be hiding in another area. By checking all moles and skin lesions, we increase the chance of early detection. A full-body check helps identify new moles, changes to an existing mole, and skin lesions you may not have noticed.
If mole removal is required, we will explain the next steps clearly. Dr. Bela can perform most mole removals, but he also works with plastic surgeons and trusted referral partners. Removal includes histological analysis.

During the follow-up visit, images taken during the initial examination will be compared with current images to analyse any potential changes suggestive of a suspicious mole.
