Mole mapping uses computer assisted photography and digital photo-dermoscopy to take a collection of images of your skin’s surface to generate a complete body mole map. These are then monitored closely over time to identify any changes. The Mole mapping clinic runs on a Saturday and must be booked through the hospital or medical secretary. Please call or or submit an online enquiry to book.

Dr Salako believes in providing treatment in a friendly and professional manner for all his patients and dignity and respect are maintained at all times. Dr Salako enjoys travelling and walking along the countryside in his free time.
