About mole check
A mole check is a skin assessment performed by a healthcare professional to examine moles and other pigmented skin lesions for signs of abnormal changes or skin cancer. It's one of the most common dermatology assessments in the UK, often used to investigate new, changing or unusual-looking moles.
Privately, a mole check in the UK typically costs between £100 and £300, depending on the specialist, clinic and whether dermoscopy is included.
What affects the cost of a mole check:
- Assessment type — comprehensive skin checks covering multiple moles are usually more expensive than single-mole assessments.
- Specialist experience — consultant dermatologists may charge higher fees than general practitioners with a skin interest.
- Clinic & location — private healthcare fees are generally higher in London and other major cities.
- Additional investigations — biopsies, photography monitoring or follow-up appointments can increase the total cost.
Most clinics quote a "from" price, so confirm the full fee — including any dermoscopy, imaging or follow-up assessments — before booking.
