What is a Skin Check?
A skin check is a clinical examination of your skin performed by a GP to identify suspicious moles, lesions, or changes that may indicate skin cancer. Early detection is important for successful treatment. Skin checks can be performed for routine screening or to assess specific spots you are concerned about.
We recommend regular skin checks for patients with a history of sun exposure, fair skin, changing moles, or a personal or family history of skin cancer.
