Skin cancer doesn’t discriminate, anyone can get it. Yet, certain factors may put you at higher risk. This includes fair skin, skin that burns easily, having a large number of moles, and a family or personal history of skin cancer. Learn more about the risk factors for skin cancer or take the Skin Cancer Risk Quiz.
When you book a MoleMap skin check you can expect to receive a thorough head-to-toe skin check by a trained melanographer. Any ‘at risk’ moles will be imaged and sent for dermatologist diagnosis. No referral is required to book this service, which often means quicker results.
Understanding the ABCDE + EFG rules can help you to recognise the early signs of melanoma.
Melanoma may look different to other skin cancers. This is why a regular skin check with a specialist in skin cancer detection is important. It’s also a good idea to do regular (ideally every 3 months) at-home skin checks. If you notice a change or an unusual mole, seek advice immediately.
