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.
