Mole Checks

About this treatment

A mole check consultation at Prema Health Clinic in Portsmouth is focused on assessing moles and pigmented skin lesions to support early identification of potential concerns and provide reassurance. Many people choose to book a mole check after noticing a new mole, changes in an existing one, or simply for peace of mind. The consultation begins with a detailed discussion about personal and family history, sun exposure, and any recent changes in the skin, helping to build a clear clinical picture.

The clinician explains findings in a clear and supportive manner, ensuring patients understand what is being assessed and why. Patients are encouraged to raise any specific concerns, whether related to a single mole or multiple areas of the skin. The appointment is unhurried and designed to help individuals feel informed, reassured, and confident about their skin health.

At the end of the consultation, advice is provided on monitoring moles over time and understanding which changes should prompt further review.

In More Detail

During a mole check, attention is given to the size, shape, colour, and overall appearance of moles and other pigmented lesions. New moles, changes in long-standing moles, and lesions that appear irregular or symptomatic are carefully reviewed. The clinician also considers patterns such as asymmetry, uneven borders, colour variation, and evolution over time. Where appropriate, guidance is given on self-monitoring and how to recognise changes that may need reassessment, supporting early detection and ongoing skin awareness.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. When should I book a mole check?

You should consider a mole check if you notice a new mole, changes in an existing mole, or if a mole becomes itchy, painful, or starts to bleed. Routine checks can also be helpful for reassurance.

2. Do I need a referral for a mole check?

No referral is required. You can book a mole check directly with Prema Health Clinic.

3. Can more than one mole be checked in a single appointment?

Yes. Multiple moles or areas of concern can be reviewed during the consultation, depending on your needs.

4. What happens if something concerning is found?

If a mole requires closer attention, the clinician will explain the findings clearly and discuss appropriate next steps, which may include monitoring, further investigation, or referral if needed.
