Skin Cancer

Skin Cancer Screening

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the UK, and it can be deadly. It can also be prevented and completely removed. That’s why skin cancer screening is so important.

If detected early enough, treatment can be provided quickly and prognosis is very good.

Checking your skin

Early detection is reliant on checking your own skin regularly, and getting a skin cancer screen by one of our dermatologists at least once a year.

By getting regular skin checks, you know that a trained eye (with 20 years of experience in the case of each of our doctors) has reviewed your skin for anything that may cause damaging effects in the future.

What to look out for:

• moles or new skin lesions growing size, changing shape, developing new colours, bleeding, pain, crusting, red around the edges or itching.

Many of our clients come to us worried about skin cancer. And most people get the reassurance they need on the day of their appointment and need no further treatment. Occasionally we need to take a biopsy and this is usually done on the same day.

The good news is, if caught early, we can treat it effectively by removing the cancer entirely.
