Absolutely! A regular molescreen is the best way to detect skin cancer early, when it’s most treatable.

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. Yet we know that with early diagnosis and treatment most skin cancers are curable. Our mole scan service provides a baseline record of the size, shape, and location of your moles. This means you can track and monitor any changes to your moles over time. If the slightest change is spotted it can be quickly assessed by a dermatologist.

While anyone can have a full body check to spot signs of skin cancer, it’s particularly useful for people with a moderate to high risk.

You’ll get to meet one of our friendly melanographers, who are spe­cial­ly trained in melanoma detec­tion and pre­ven­tion. Your skin will be thoroughly checked from head to toe. Yes, you’ll need to get down to your underwear, so as not to miss a spot. But don’t worry, your modesty will be protected, and you’ll feel completely comfortable throughout your appointment.

 Your moles will be digitally photographed to create a baseline of image for future reference. Any dubious-looking moles will be dermoscopically (under the skin) imaged and sent to an accredited dermatologist for further review.

 See, there’s really no need to be nervous. A mole scan is routine, non-invasive and pain-less. Within the following week you’ll get your full report. No referral required (unless you’re aged under 16), which means less wait time and faster results.

The type of skin cancer detection service you choose will depend on your skin cancer risk (you can check that with our quick risk quiz) and personal need. However, a whole body check is a good choice if you have:

• A family or personal history of skin cancer
• A high number of moles
• Some unusual looking moles
• Sun damage

The added features of the Full Body MoleMap are:

• Total body photography. This gives you a baseline of images to compare at future skin examinations
• Proactive monitoring of moles and benign lesions (in case of change) for added reassurance

To accurately compare both services to make the right choice for you, take a look at our comparison table.

It’s also a good option for those who want the added reassurance that comes from the ongoing monitoring of moles. If there are any changes, they will be spotted early—when skin cancer is most curable.

When you check your skin it’s helpful to know the symptoms of skin cancer to look for. Watch for the following:

• A spot which is sore, itchy, or bleeding and doesn’t heal within a few weeks
• A spot or mole that changes in size, shape, colour or texture
• A spot that looks different from other lesions on your body
• A new mole

It’s important to remember that melanoma and other skin cancers can look different from one person to the next. If you notice a suspicious spot, get it checked out promptly.
