Why Choose MoleMap?
Our MoleMap melanographers are experts at detecting and imaging any suspicious looking spots, and the dermatologists who we work with via teledermatology — are experts at diagnosing early stage melanoma – when it’s most treatable.
What are the chances you have melanoma?
Australia has one of the highest rates of melanoma in the world and 2 out of 3 of us will have skin cancer by age 70. That’s why it’s so important to have regular full-body skin checks by skin cancer detection specialists.
