What is is Mole Mapping..

Mole mapping is a process of checking your moles with a special magnify tool called dermoscopy. This shows me the pattern of moles and I can make sure no supicious features are present.

When should you get moles checked..

Generally you would seek medical advise if theres is any change in shape, colour, size or if new moles start to appear. If you have lived in a warm climate for more than 3 months, if you have numerous numbers of moles and if their is family history of skin cancers. 

How to protect yourself from Skin Cancer..

I would always advise be SUN SAFE!! The Sun is not your friend. You must wear SPF every day, and if your body is exposed apply 30minutes before leaving the house. SPF must be applied every 2 hours if you are outside. Avoid Sunbeds. Wear protective Clothing with UV protection and stay in the shade.

I am available in Dublin, Naas and Drogheda and I look forward to seeing you.
