If you have concerns about a specific mole or skin lesion, Check4Cancer‘s Skin Cancer Screening and Mole Check clinics are open throughout the UK for quick-access appointments.
What can I expect at my skin cancer screening appointment?
- An experienced skin cancer nurse will conduct an assessment of moles/lesions of concern using Dermoscopy.*
- High-quality digital and dermoscopic images will be taken of any suspicious moles/ lesions.
- Following your appointment, you will receive a mole/lesion results letter within five working days. The results letter will contain any images that were taken on the day for your records.
- If any abnormality is discovered, Check4Cancer can assist you with a referral to your GP or a private consultant for further investigation.
* Dermoscopy is a non-invasive method to examine your skin. A dermatoscope is a hand-held instrument which can magnify an area by up to 10 times. The nurse will normally apply lubricant to your skin and then place the dermatoscope on it to examine the area very closely. This process does not hurt or affect your skin.
