MOLE MAPPING WITH FOTOFINDER

A Closer Look at Your Skin

Some of the earliest signs of melanoma are changes so subtle they can be difficult to spot with the naked eye. FotoFinder mole mapping gives us a detailed photographic record of your skin so we can compare changes over time and identify suspicious moles earlier.

At Midwest Dermatology, FotoFinder mole mapping and digital dermoscopy are available at our Papillion office for both new and existing patients.

Your Skin, Mapped Over Time

FotoFinder uses high-resolution photography to create a detailed map of your skin from head to toe. Close-up dermoscopic images can also be taken of individual moles that need closer monitoring.

These images become your baseline. At future visits, new images can be compared with your previous photos to identify new or changing moles that may need additional evaluation.

Your skin changes. FotoFinder helps us see what changed.

Who Should Consider FotoFinder?

FotoFinder mole mapping may be especially helpful for patients with:

  • More than 50 moles
  • Large or irregular-looking moles
  • New or changing moles
  • Very fair skin or red hair
  • A history of significant sunburns or tanning bed use
  • A personal or family history of skin cancer
  • Use of immunosuppressive medications

FotoFinder Does Not Replace Your Skin Exam

FotoFinder is an additional tool used to help monitor your skin. It does not replace regular full body skin exams with your dermatology provider.

Together, your skin examination and FotoFinder images give your provider more information to watch suspicious areas and recognize changes over time.

What to Expect

Your FotoFinder appointment takes place in our private FotoFinder Suite at the Papillion office. High-resolution images of your skin are captured and securely stored for future comparison.

FotoFinder results are reviewed by a Midwest Dermatology physician, who can identify areas of concern and determine whether additional evaluation is needed.

Insurance and Cost

Insurance coverage for FotoFinder varies. Some insurance plans may cover mole mapping for patients who meet certain medical criteria, while others consider it preventive care and do not provide coverage.

For patients whose insurance does not cover FotoFinder, a self-pay option is available for $250.

Please contact our office with questions about scheduling, insurance coverage or self-pay pricing.

Keep a Closer Watch on Your Skin

If you have a large number of moles, unusual moles or other risk factors for melanoma, FotoFinder can provide an important baseline for monitoring your skin over time.
