Mole mapping digitally records and maps moles larger than a pencil eraser on a patient's body, allowing for precise tracking of changes over time. This method surpasses traditional photography by providing a systematic approach to monitor moles, especially for patients with numerous moles. The advanced Watson system further enhances this process by converting images into data for computerized analysis, detecting minute changes. Melanographers play a crucial role in conducting mole mapping and ensuring reports reach patients and physicians. Annual checks are recommended, with fair-skinned individuals who have sun damage being ideal candidates.
