Mole Check
A mole check is a screening service in which moles are mapped with dermoscopy and their changes tracked over time, aiming to catch suspicious lesions early and refer for excision when needed.
Clinic and treatment images
Tap to enlargeDo you recognise these signs?
If one or more of these applies to you, we recommend a dermatological assessment.
- Moles that change in size, colour or shape, or that grow or become raised
- Lesions with irregular borders, two unlike halves and several colours
- New skin spots that itch, bleed, crust over or refuse to heal
- A single mole that looks clearly different from all the others around it
Causes and triggers
- Excess sun exposure, sunburn history and use of tanning beds
- Fair skin, many moles and a family history of melanoma as personal risk factors
- Immunosuppressive conditions and a past history of skin cancer
- Moles in areas of constant friction or irritation needing follow-up
How we treat it
A full-body examination mapping and recording moles with dermoscopy
Assessing asymmetry, border, colour and size change against ABCDE criteria
Digital dermoscopy for regular comparative follow-up of suspicious lesions
Appropriate referral for diagnostic excision and pathology when findings are suspicious
Why Clinovia?
Psoriasis and eczema are not only a surface problem. We assess the skin barrier, inflammation, nutrition and lifestyle, comorbidities and dermatological treatment together. Evidence-based dermatology remains the backbone; nutrition and lifestyle support that plan.
The Gut–Skin Relationship
We review digestive symptoms, dietary pattern and food-sensitivity history. The link between gut microbiome and inflammatory skin disease is still being researched, so it is addressed alongside — never instead of — dermatological treatment.
Cortisone-Free Protocol
First-line calcineurin and PDE-4 inhibitors, ceramide-based barrier repair and phototherapy instead of steroids; systemic and biologic steps when needed.
Systemic Repair
Vitamin D, zinc, omega-3 and iron levels plus thyroid and insulin resistance are screened, and any deficits found are built into the plan.
Measurable Follow-up
PASI/EASI and DLQI scores are tracked alongside laboratory values; steps that do not deliver a response are removed from the plan.
That depends on your risk level. Those with fair skin, many moles or a family history of melanoma are monitored more closely; for most people an annual check is reasonable. If you notice a mole changing, growing, bleeding or itching, we advise coming in without waiting for the next appointment.
Digital dermoscopy records high-resolution images of moles and lets us compare them exactly at later checks. This helps us catch small changes the eye would miss early. If a suspicious development is seen, we refer promptly for excision and pathological examination without delay.
Yes. For infant eczema and paediatric psoriasis we use age-appropriate topical stepping, a moisturising routine and, when indicated, paediatric phototherapy dosing.
Our standard protocols are cortisone-free. We work with topical calcineurin inhibitors, PDE-4 inhibitors, ceramide-based barrier repair, NB-UVB phototherapy and biologic agents when needed. Cortisone is considered only for very short, unavoidable situations and with the patient's consent.
Other conditions
VitiligoVitiligo is a chronic condition in which the immune system destroys the pigment-producing melanocytes, leaving sharply defined white patches on the skin.

Urticaria (Hives)Urticaria produces itchy, raised red weals that typically shift and fade within a day, sometimes with deeper swelling of the lips or eyelids, reflecting a hypersensitivity reaction.

Acne & RosaceaAcne and rosacea both show up as spots, redness and sensitivity on the face; though they look similar, their causes and treatments are quite different from one another.

PUVA & Targeted PhototherapyPUVA and targeted local units treat stubborn sites such as hands, feet and scalp with cortisone-free light. Dose and response are monitored throughout the course.

Systemic TherapySystemic drugs such as methotrexate, cyclosporine and acitretin are used in widespread or resistant psoriasis and eczema, alongside laboratory and safety monitoring.
