What are the warning signs of skin cancer?

Most moles are harmless, but regularly checking your skin and seeking help is essential to quickly pick up signs of anything sinister. Here’s what to look out for.

Asymmetry: Do the two halves of the mole differ in shape?

Borders: Are the edges of the area irregular or blurred, or showing notches?

Colour: Multiple colours or changes in colour are a warning sign

Diameter: Is the mole particularly large? or has the size of it changed?

Evolution: Has the mole changed in any way?

Expert: We recommend an annual skin check with a dermatologist – but if you notice any changes in size, shape or colour, seek expert advice from your dermatologist, or your GP right away.

Good skin days, always.
