Why do we take a close-up look at your spots? 📸

So we can see what the naked eye can’t.

This is a basal cell carcinoma (BCC) showing arborising (tree-like) vascular structures, a key feature only visible through detailed imaging.

It’s these small details that support early detection. Book your skin check via the link in our bio.

Sunscreen is not just for weekends in the sun ☀️

Daily exposure adds up more than people realise. Some UV can still come through windows during a commute or while sitting at a desk, depending on the type of glass, contributing to overall exposure over time.

It is not always about obvious sunburn. It is the small, repeated exposures that build up over time.

Applying sunscreen should be part of the everyday routine. And just as important, regular skin checks help catch any changes early.

Protect your skin daily and make skin checks part of your routine.

Did you know skin checks go beyond what the eye can see? 🤔

Dermatoscopy captures detailed images of the skin to create a baseline record, making it easier to track changes over time.
It’s how subtle differences are picked up early, before they become more serious.

Do you have a spot like this? 🟠

What may look like a small, harmless patch could be squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), a common form of skin cancer.

SCCs can appear as a red, scaly patch, a sore that doesn’t heal, or a spot that crusts or bleeds. Noticing changes early is key.

Remember the SCAN rule:
🔶 Sore that doesn’t heal (including itchy, bleeding or tender spots)
🔶 Change in size, shape or colour
🔶 Abnormal or different to other spots
🔶 New spots or moles

A tan might look healthy, but it is actually a sign of skin damage ☀️

Your skin cells, especially melanocytes, act as your body’s natural protection against UV. But that protection is not unlimited. Over time, repeated sun exposure weakens it, increasing the risk of skin cancer.

Protect your skin with daily sun safety, and make regular skin checks part of your routine.

A haircut led to a melanoma diagnosis 💇🏻‍♀️➡️

At 37, Canberra local Courtney Edwards had a spot on her scalp noticed by her hairdresser, something she had not seen herself.

Despite being sun safe and having no family history of skin cancer, a biopsy later confirmed a large Stage 2 melanoma. It is a reminder that melanoma can appear in places people rarely see,
including the scalp.

Early detection can make a life saving difference, with up to 90% of melanomas successfully treated when detected early.

Can you tell the difference between a pimple and skin cancer? 💭

This spot may look like a simple pimple, but it is actually basal cell carcinoma (BCC), the most common form of skin cancer.

BCCs can appear as a shiny or pearly bump, a pink or scaly patch, or a sore that does not heal. They usually grow slowly, but if left untreated can grow deeper and require more extensive treatment.

That is why noticing small changes and having regular skin checks can make a big difference. Book your skin check via the link in our bio.

Technology is playing an increasing role in skin cancer detection. 🔍

At MoleMap New Zealand clinics, Kāhu AI is used as a support diagnostic tool during skin checks, acting as a second set of eyes to help clinicians identify subtle patterns in the skin.

Trained on one of the largest skin imaging databases globally, it helps support earlier detection of melanoma and other skin cancers.

Clinical research is also underway in partnership with the , helping validate the technology as part of the process to expand its use across the trans Tasman in the future.
