Should You Get a Private Mole Check? Here’s What to Know

Moles are common, but changes in their size, shape, or colour could be a sign of something more serious, such as skin cancer. If you’ve noticed any unusual changes in your moles or simply want peace of mind, booking a private mole check in London with an experienced dermatologist can be a proactive step towards safeguarding your skin health.
At Dr Dropin, you can get a professional mole check with leading UK dermatologists, ensuring early detection of skin cancer and expert advice for any concerns.
Why Should You Get a Mole Check?
Most moles are harmless, but some can develop into melanoma, a serious type of skin cancer. Early detection of melanoma is key to effective treatment, so checking your moles regularly is important.
Signs You Should Book a Private Mole Check
You should consider a mole screening in London if you notice:
A mole that changes in size, shape, or colour
Irregular borders or asymmetry
A mole that becomes itchy, painful, or starts bleeding
A new mole appearing after the age of 30
A mole that looks different from your other moles (the “ugly duckling” sign)
These can be warning signs of melanoma or other skin conditions requiring urgent attention.
