MoleMap available at NorthCare Pukete Road
Melanoma is fast-growing and the most life-threatening of all skin cancers. Early detection is your skin's best chance against melanoma.
The MoleMap skin-mapping system is designed to look deep inside a mole’s structure to detect any potential skin cancers that can’t be seen with visual checks.
NorthCare Pukete has partnered with MoleMap to offer skin check services to registered patients at all PHCL practices.
Are you at risk of melanoma?
Check if any of the following risk factors apply to you...
- You work or play outdoors.
- You've been sunburned in the past.
- You're fair skinned and/or freckled.
- You or someone in your family has had melanoma.
- You have a lot of moles.
- You have unusual looking moles.
- You're aged 50+.
If you have two or more risk factors, chances are you have a higher risk of melanoma.
What is a skin check?
A skin check is carried out by our friendly nurses who have been trained by MoleMap and are now fully qualified melanographers.
The skin check is done in a consultation room at our clinic. It is a thorough, head to toe check of your skin, using a skin-mapping system to check, identify and take images of any moles showing features of skin cancer.
Potential skin cancers are referred for expert diagnosis by a dermatologist, and if removal is recommended you'll be referred to one of our GPs or a skin specialist for minor surgery.
Your skin is always changing, so it's also a good idea to carry out a regular self-check of your skin every three months. This helpful guide (PDF) explains how to do it, and what to look for.
