What does the A$49 mole photo review include?
- Guided photographs and relevant history for one mole or skin spot.
- A connected baseline record for the submitted spot.
- Review by Dr Rupinder Singh Walia, an Australian GP with a special interest in skin-cancer medicine and dermoscopy.
- Written next-step advice delivered through the secure workflow.
- Advice to arrange a GP, skin-cancer clinic or specialist assessment when appropriate.
What an online mole review cannot do
A photograph cannot safely provide dermoscopy, palpation, a biopsy, a whole-skin examination, a definitive diagnosis or an all-clear. The review concerns only the spot and information you submit. If the photographs are unsuitable or the history requires examination, in-person care may be recommended.
Do not wait for an online review if the mole is rapidly changing, bleeding significantly, severely painful, associated with serious symptoms, or otherwise urgent.
How the doctor photo-review pathway works
- Photograph one spot: the guided capture checks focus, lighting and whether the image is technically usable.
- Add context: provide the location, history and any changes or symptoms you have noticed.
- Create the connected record: the accepted photograph becomes the baseline for that specific spot.
- Pay A$49 securely: eligible submissions continue to secure checkout by card/Stripe or PayPal. You are not charged merely for starting the intake.
- Doctor review: Dr Walia reviews the submitted photographs and history and provides written next-step advice.
If you are not ready to pay yet
You can still create a free private photo record for that spot. That gives you a reference point for future comparison. If the spot changes, becomes symptomatic or continues to worry you, use the connected record to seek medical review or start the A$49 doctor photo-review pathway.
When is an in-person mole check better?
Choose an in-person GP or skin-cancer clinic when you want a full skin examination, have several spots to assess, need dermoscopy, cannot obtain a clear photograph, or have a new, changing, bleeding, non-healing or concerning lesion. People with many atypical moles, previous melanoma or skin cancer, a strong family history, significant sun exposure or a weakened immune system may need a clinician-led surveillance plan.

Doctor photo review versus free monitoring
- A$49 doctor photo review: for someone seeking a doctor’s written next-step advice about one submitted spot now.
- Free Skin360AI monitoring: for creating private photo records and keeping later photographs connected without requesting a doctor review.
- In-person skin examination: for dermoscopy, a full-body check, examination of multiple lesions, biopsy or other hands-on care.
How to take useful mole photographs
- Use bright, even light and turn off filters or beauty mode.
- Clean the lens, tap the mole to focus and hold the phone steady.
- Photograph straight on and include enough surrounding skin to identify the location.
- Do not delay medical care while trying to obtain a better photograph.
The service does not diagnose or exclude skin cancer and does not replace an in-person examination. For a full skin check or anything that worries you, see a GP or skin-cancer clinic.
