looks like, but you will
not be able to add anything.
How often have you looked at your arm/leg/torso/back (delete as appropriate) and said to yourself, "I don't remember having that mole, I wonder how long that has been there? Maybe I've got a melanoma"? I know I have but not anymore because I have the Mole Map.
It comes in a package similar to the sewing
patterns your big sister had at school and, when you open it out, it is a life-sized diagram of the whole body. The idea is that you (with the aid of a friend) mark onto this sheet all your existing moles and freckles. Then, at a later date, when you 'spot' something you didn't think you had before you have a reference to go back to for re-assurance that you've always had that skull shaped blemish on your right shoulder. At the very least this is a perfect excuse for getting naked with someone you love.
Could this possibly double as a mole map?

More moles can be a good thing.

BBC News story. It seems that the more moles you have the longer you are likely to live. It was on the BBC so it must be true! [DrBob, Sep 05 2007]

There are companies that already offer this type of service. Its not exactly the same, but pretty similar: They store digital photographs of your skin and monitor mole progression. |
|
| |
The fact that there are people in business doing this does show you have a good idea! |

My dermatologist does that. He photographs all body surfaces following some protocol, then marks all the spots that should be monitored. On later sessions those annotated pics are used as a map to look for new or altered moles. |

I assume you can define and name your own "constellations" to refer to the location of new moles. |

Strange you should mention that, [phundug]. I very recently discovered a perfect Orion's Belt on my fella's upper arm in "negative" moles (i.e. those circular white marks which only show up when you have a tan - probably scars from insect bites). |

Take your own digital photographs (it's easier with some help) every few years. |

For what it's worth [elhigh], I read somewhere that mineral oil on a mole lets you see into it with proper lighting. |
|
| |
perhaps an escort service could provide this as an extra... |

very nice, I had a friend whose daughter spotted a naughty mole and saved her mother's life. |

Ah. I thought this was for making one's avatar more lifelike. |
