MUMS Consultant Dermatologist assesses and removes moles in a one stop shop setting. Dr Camillo Diaz, Consultant Dermatologist - will send the removed mole to our partner laboratory for analysis if he feels it is suspicious.  

MUMS Mole Assessment/Mole Removal clinic is on Thursday mornings. There are no waiting times and you do not need a referral from your GP.

The mole assessment and removal takes around 45 mins in duration.

Dr Camilo Diaz, MUMS Consultant Dermatologist will analyse the mole using dermoscope – a special dermatological magnifier to enables the consultant to look at the appearance and margins of the mole.

Moles are small, coloured spots on the skin. Most people have them and they are usually nothing to worry about unless they change in size, shape or colour.

Most moles are harmless.

Most harmless moles are round or oval-shaped, with a smooth edge

Moles can be flat or raised and may feel smooth or rough

Moles are usually darker on brown and black skin

Signs of melanoma include:

• A mole that's changed colour or has more than 2 colours
• A mole with uneven borders
• A mole that's bleeding, itching, crusting or raised

It's important to get a new or existing mole checked out if any of the above is noticed. For example – if it changes shape, colour, itches or bleeds.

These changes can happen over weeks or months.
