Professional Mole Screening Checks in Ardee
Early Detection Made Simple
Most moles on our bodies are completely harmless — but it’s important to have them checked, especially if you notice any changes in their appearance.
At Mark’s Pharmacy, we provide a fast, convenient, and professional mole screening service designed to give you peace of mind and support early detection where needed.
Our screening process is simple, discreet, and carried out in a private consultation room by trained pharmacy professionals.
Why Mole Screening Matters
Skin changes can happen gradually and may go unnoticed. Checking your moles regularly helps identify anything unusual early, when treatment is most effective.
Professional mole screening helps:
✔ Detect suspicious skin changes early
✔ Provide reassurance about harmless moles
✔ Identify when further medical assessment is needed
✔ Support long-term skin health
✔ Give expert dermatology review without long waiting times
Even small changes can be important — if something looks different, it’s always best to get it checked.

The ABCDE Rule – How to Spot Concerning Moles
Dermatologists use the ABCDE rule to help identify warning signs that a mole may need further investigation.
A — Asymmetry
One half of the mole does not match the other. Normal moles are usually round or oval.
B — Border
Edges appear notched, irregular, blurred, or scalloped.
C — Colour
Multiple colours, uneven colouring, or noticeable colour changes.
D — Diameter
Larger than about 6mm (roughly the size of a pencil eraser), though smaller moles can also be concerning.
E — Evolving
Any change in size, shape, colour, or height — or new symptoms such as itching, tenderness, bleeding, or sores that do not heal.
If your mole shows any of these signs, it’s important to have it professionally assessed.
Watch for “Ugly Duckling” Moles
Pay attention to any mole that looks different from the others on your body. These are sometimes called “ugly duckling” moles.
They may:
- Stick out more than surrounding moles
- Look noticeably different in shape or colour
- Appear new or unusual compared to your normal pattern
If a mole stands out or simply doesn’t look right, it’s always worth getting it checked.
