Need mole exam: Mole checks are simple and straightforward. For a complete mole check, a patient dresses in a gown with underwear in place. The patient is laid prone on an exam table and checked carefully from head to toe with a bright mobile surgical light and a high powered magnifier. Once the patient is upright, the back is then checked. In most cases, the mole check process only takes a few minutes and is painless. While a mole that looks suspicious in the mirror or by direct view may cause proper concern, there is no reason to be concerned about the exam. While keeping your dignity in mind, mole checks are performed in a calm and comforting environment.
