Mole mapping is an advanced method of documenting and monitoring moles and pigmented lesions over time. At Skin Experts Poly Clinic in Dubai, we use the latest edition of the FotoFinder automated dermoscopic system, a globally recognized technology designed to support early detection of suspicious changes in the skin. This system combines high resolution imaging with intelligent software to create a precise, organized, and secure digital record of your skin.
Mole mapping is especially valuable for individuals with multiple moles, a personal or family history of skin cancer, or those who want a structured, professional approach to long term skin monitoring.
The process begins with standardized, high quality photographs of the skin.
Each mole or lesion is examined using dermoscopy, allowing visualization of structures not visible to the naked eye. The system stores these dermoscopic images alongside the body photographs.
All images are stored in a highly organized, encrypted system designed to maintain patient privacy and ensure long term accessibility for follow up visits.
According to American dermatology organizations, individuals may benefit from regular professional skin examinations, especially if they have:
Routine in clinic checks help ensure that any concerning changes are evaluated promptly by a qualified dermatologist.
Monthly self examinations help individuals notice new or changing lesions between professional visits.
While the latest FotoFinder system adds a powerful layer of precision, it does not replace the expertise of a dermatologist. Instead, it enhances the clinical process in several important ways:
Automated systems can highlight changes, but only a trained dermatologist can interpret these findings within the context of your medical history, skin type, and risk factors.
The updated software improves image clarity, comparison accuracy, and lesion tracking. This helps clinicians make more informed decisions, but the final assessment always relies on medical expertise.
FotoFinder provides a structured, long term record that supports continuity of care. This documentation is especially valuable for patients with many moles or complex skin patterns.
All images are stored securely, following strict privacy standards. Only authorized medical professionals can access your records.
The system is regularly updated to incorporate the latest technological advancements, ensuring ongoing improvements in accuracy and workflow efficiency.
Mole mapping is therefore best understood as a collaborative tool—a sophisticated extension of the dermatologist’s eye that enhances, but never replaces, clinical judgment.
