Chippenham Pharmacy and Health Clinic

If you are concerned about a mole or skin lesion, the Map My Mole service at Chippenham Pharmacy and Health Clinic provides quick access to expert dermatology advice.

Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in the UK, and early detection is extremely important. Many people notice a mole that changes in appearance but may face long waits to see a GP or dermatologist. Our Map My Mole service offers a convenient way to have suspicious moles assessed by UK consultant dermatologists, with results typically available within 24–48 hours.

What is the Map My Mole Service?

Map My Mole is a digital mole assessment service used by clinics and pharmacies across the UK. During your appointment, we take high-quality images of your mole using a medical dermatoscope attached to a smartphone. These images are securely sent to a consultant dermatologist who specialises in skin conditions and skin cancer. (mapmymole.com)

The dermatologist reviews the images and provides a written report explaining whether the mole:

• Appears benign (normal)
• Should be monitored
• Requires further medical assessment

The report is written in clear language and will explain any recommended next steps.

Why Use the Map My Mole Service?

This service offers a fast and convenient way to have a mole checked by a specialist without waiting for a hospital appointment.

Benefits include:

• Consultant dermatologist review
• Results typically within 24–48 hours
• Quick 10-minute appointment
• No GP referral required
• Local, convenient access to specialist advice

More than 60% of dermatology GP visits relate to moles or skin lesions, meaning services like this can help people access expert assessment more quickly.

How the Appointment Works

The process is simple and usually takes around 10 minutes.

1. Consultation

A trained member of our team will ask a few questions about the mole and your skin health.

2. Image Capture

We take detailed images of the mole using a dermatoscope, which provides magnified images of the skin.

3. Dermatologist Review

Your images are securely submitted through the Map My Mole system and reviewed by a UK consultant dermatologist.

4. Your Report

You will receive a detailed report explaining the findings and whether any further action is recommended. Results are typically available within 24–48 hours.

If a mole requires further investigation, you will be advised to contact your GP or a specialist clinic with the report.

When Should You Get a Mole Checked?

You should consider having a mole checked if you notice:

• A change in size, shape, or colour
• Itching, bleeding, or crusting
• A new mole appearing in adulthood
• A mole that simply looks unusual or different from others

Even if the mole turns out to be harmless, a professional assessment can provide reassurance and help support early detection of skin cancer.

Who is the Service Suitable For?

The Map My Mole service is ideal if you have one or a small number of moles or skin lesions you are concerned about.

However, it may not be suitable if:

• The mole is bleeding heavily or infected
• The lesion is in a difficult-to-photograph area
• You have multiple new suspicious moles requiring examination

In these cases, we may recommend seeing your GP directly.
