A mole checking service in London
Moles on the body are generally harmless, but should be observed for any changes using:
A Asymmetry One side of a mole should not differ from the other.
B Border The edge should not be blurred or jagged.
C Colour Changes in colour or patchy shades should be noted.
D Diameter Increases in size or a mole larger than 6mm across should be noted.
Any of these changes, or any reddening, crusting or
bleeding, should be checked by a doctor. The London Skin Clinic offers a
complete mole checking service, including removal and biopsy of the
mole where necessary. Advice on sun awareness can also be provided. The London Skin Clinic is the preferred surgical partner for a
number of skin cancer screening companies.

How can I access treatment at the London Skin Clinic?
Medical insurers routinely cover all consultations, investigations and
procedures at the London Skin Clinic with a referral from a doctor or
specialist. Self-referring patients are welcome and an indication of
fees can be given in advance of any appointment by contacting the
Clinic.
The aim at the London Skin Clinic is to treat suspicious and proven malignant skin lesions on the same day as consultation in their Day Surgery Centre. Wound care advice is given by a nurse and a follow-up appointment is made for the removal of sutures and discussion of histopathology results, where necessary. If an operation under general anaesthetic is indicated by the size or nature of the lesion, this can be quickly arranged.
The Consultant
Dermatolgists at the London Skin Clinic are happy to provide a second
opinion service if a patient has had a diagnosis elsewhere that they
would like reviewed or if they wish to discuss treatment options
that have already been proposed.
