Can you book a private dermatologist and have many areas checked

Im wondering if you can see a dermatologist privately and ask them to look at several areas of skin. I am fair skinned and am quite worried about a few different areas.
Or does it have to be just one issue per appointment?
I have been to the GP before about a couple of areas but felt quite dismissed.

Yes you can do this. I do it every couple of years and have every single mole looked at.

yes, they usually offer mole-mapping

Thank you. What if it’s not moles, it’s more just areas of skin that are worrying me.

Yes they’ll look at them all for you. Depends on appointment length but private ones are often 45-60mins.
