If you’re concerned about a mole or have noticed changes in your skin, a private mole check at Northway Clinic offers expert assessment in a supportive setting. Our experienced dermatology team will carefully examine your skin, explain any findings clearly and advise if further investigation or treatment is recommended.
What is a private mole check?
A private mole check is an assessment carried out by a dermatologist to examine moles and other pigmented skin lesions.
The aim is to identify any areas that may need monitoring, further investigation or treatment, while also providing reassurance about harmless skin changes.
Why would I need a private mole check?
A private mole check can help if you’ve noticed a new mole, changes to an existing mole or a skin lesion that looks unusual. While many moles are harmless, some changes may need assessment by a specialist.
You may wish to arrange a mole check if you’ve noticed:
- A mole changing in size, shape or colour
- Irregular edges or uneven colouring
- Itching, bleeding or crusting
- A mole that looks different from others on your skin
- A new mole appearing in adulthood
At Northway Clinic, we understand that skin changes can feel worrying. Our team will assess your skin carefully, explain their findings and advise if any further steps are recommended.
The benefits of having a private mole check
Having a mole check can provide reassurance and help identify skin changes early. It also gives you the opportunity to discuss any concerns with an experienced skin specialist in a calm and professional environment.
The benefits of a private mole check include:
- Expert assessment of moles and pigmented skin lesions
- Early identification of suspicious or changing areas of skin
- Advice on monitoring your skin and recognising warning signs
- Clear guidance on any further investigation or treatment that may be needed
- Greater peace of mind about your skin health
At Northway Clinic, we’ll take the time to explain our findings clearly, so you feel informed and reassured throughout your appointment.
What happens during a mole check?
During your appointment, your specialist will ask about your skin concerns, medical history and any changes you’ve noticed in your moles or skin lesions. They’ll then carefully examine the area using a dermatoscope – a specialised handheld device that allows the skin to be viewed in greater detail.
Your specialist may assess the size, shape, colour and borders of the mole, along with any other features that may require further investigation. They may also ask you about factors such as sun exposure, previous sunburn or a family history of skin cancer.
Once the examination is complete, your specialist will explain their findings and discuss any recommended next steps with you. Depending on the results, this may include monitoring the mole, arranging a biopsy (taking a small tissue sample) or recommending mole removal.
Getting your results and next steps
In many cases, your specialist will be able to discuss their findings with you during your appointment. If your mole appears harmless, you’ll be advised on what to monitor and when to seek further medical advice.
If further investigation is recommended, such as a biopsy or mole removal, we’ll explain the next steps and arrange any follow-up care you may need. Where tissue samples are sent for laboratory testing, results are usually available within a few weeks.
At Northway Clinic, we understand that waiting for results can feel unsettling, so we’ll keep you informed and make sure you know what to expect at every stage.
