In detail
Professional Mole Mapping in Bletchley
Mole mapping is a clinically proven method to monitor changes in moles and skin lesions over time, helping detect skin cancer early. At Kenmakos Medical in Bletchley, our trained pharmacists use advanced imaging technology to create a detailed record of your moles for ongoing surveillance.
01Why should I have my moles mapped?
Mole mapping provides a baseline record of your skin that allows us to spot any changes quickly and accurately. Early detection of skin cancer significantly improves treatment outcomes and prognosis. If you have a family history of melanoma, fair skin, or numerous moles, regular mapping is particularly valuable. This service gives you peace of mind and puts you in control of your skin health.
02How does the mole mapping process work?
During your appointment at our Bletchley pharmacy, we use a dermatoscope and digital imaging to photograph and document each mole's size, shape, colour and location. These images are stored securely and compared at your follow-up appointments to identify any changes. The whole process is non-invasive, painless and typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. We'll provide you with a detailed report and recommendations for ongoing monitoring.
03How often should I have follow-up appointments?
Most patients benefit from annual mole mapping appointments to monitor changes over time. Those with higher risk factors or a personal history of skin cancer may need more frequent reviews, typically every 6 months. Our pharmacists will discuss the right schedule for your individual circumstances during your initial consultation. Regular monitoring helps us detect any concerning changes early.
04What happens if a mole looks concerning?
If we identify any moles showing signs of change or concern, we'll refer you promptly to your GP or a dermatologist for specialist assessment. We never diagnose skin cancer ourselves, but our detailed mapping helps specialists make informed decisions quickly. Early referral can be crucial for the best outcomes. You'll always receive clear guidance on next steps.

Written by our prescriber
Professional Mole Mapping at Kenmakos Medical
Mole mapping is a detailed photographic record of all moles and skin lesions on your body, used to detect changes that might indicate skin cancer. At Kenmakos Medical in Bletchley, we provide this important screening service to help you monitor your skin health over time.
What is Mole Mapping?
Mole mapping is a comprehensive skin screening service that creates a detailed photographic baseline of all moles, freckles, and other skin lesions on your body. Our trained healthcare professionals use specialist imaging equipment to capture high-resolution images of each mark, recording their size, shape, colour, and location.
This baseline record allows us to monitor any changes during future appointments. By comparing new photographs with previous ones, we can identify any moles that have changed in appearance, which may warrant further investigation by a dermatologist. Early detection of skin changes is crucial for identifying melanoma and other skin cancers at their most treatable stage.
Who Should Have Mole Mapping?
Mole mapping is particularly beneficial for people with multiple moles, a family history of skin cancer, fair skin, or a history of sun exposure. Those who spend significant time outdoors, have had previous concerning skin lesions, or simply want peace of mind about their skin health are excellent candidates for this service.
If you're concerned about any existing moles or have noticed changes in your skin, mole mapping provides a systematic way to establish a baseline and track your skin over time. This is especially valuable for residents across Milton Keynes who want proactive skin monitoring without waiting for NHS dermatology appointments.
The Mole Mapping Process

We'll photograph all moles and skin lesions using our specialist imaging system, creating a detailed record that's securely stored. You'll receive a copy of your mole map report, and we'll discuss any findings with you.
