Appointment Type: Spot Check
It is not always easy to "spot" melanomas - That's where a spot check comes in
A spot check is a quick appointment type (around 15 minutes) suitable for those with a single spot of concern (new or existing).
If you have noticed a new mole, or an existing mole that has changed in shape, size or colour, that does not necessarily mean that it is skin cancer. But it is a good prompt to get it checked by a qualified skin cancer doctor.
Our doctors can use both demoscopy and digital photography to examine the mole more closely than with the naked eye. They can also then track that mole over time.
By the way, in the photo above:
- Left: Although this looks nasty, it is in fact a harmless lesion
- Middle: This potentially fatal melanoma was diagnosed by our high-resolution serial photography
- Right: Believe it or not, this is a harmless haemangioma
