Mole mapping is a dermatological monitoring method that uses medical photography to record the appearance of moles, allowing their evolution to be tracked accurately over time.
The primary goal is to quickly identify abnormal changes in moles, supporting early detection of melanoma and other types of skin cancer.
Mole mapping is particularly beneficial for patients with a large number of moles, atypical lesions, or an increased risk of skin cancer.
The images serve as a reference during future consultations, enabling dermatologists to compare lesions over time and identify any significant changes.
No. Mole mapping is a simple, non-invasive, and painless examination that requires no special preparation.
It enhances the accuracy of dermatological monitoring, supports early diagnosis, and helps avoid unnecessary examinations or biopsies.
