Does MoleMapCD replace traditional exam methods?
MoleMapCD is not a replacement for how physicians currently check patients for suspicious nevi (moles). Instead, it is an adjunct tool for comparing changes in the patient’s skin. DigitalDerm, Inc., the maker of MoleMapCD, recommends doctors first do a visual exam of their patients and use MoleMapCD as a basis for future comparison of concerning moles. If the doctor feels the concerning mole has indeed changed, then excision should be considered. Please see our complete disclaimer statement.
