MoleMap skin checks in Hamilton

MoleMap technology looks beneath the surface of a mole to identify features that may not be visible during a standard visual check.

NorthCare Pukete offers MoleMap services to enrolled patients from all PHCL practices. Appointments take place in a private consultation room with a trained melanographer.

Should you have a skin check?

You may have a higher risk of melanoma if you:

Spend a lot of time outdoors
Have previously been sunburned
Have fair or freckled skin
Have a personal or family history of melanoma
Have many moles or unusual-looking moles
Are aged 50 or older

Regular skin checks can help identify changes early, particularly if more than one risk factor applies to you.

What happens during a MoleMap skin check?

A trained nurse will complete a thorough assessment of your skin using MoleMap imaging technology. Images are taken of moles or spots showing possible signs of skin cancer and sent to a dermatologist for expert review.

Where further assessment or removal is recommended, you may be referred to a GP or skin specialist.

This helpful guide (PDF) explains how to do it, and what to look for.
