One Stop Shop
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.
Costs
