Who needs a skin check/ mole check?

Skin check / Mole Check

A skin check/ mole check is highly recommended in the following situations:

If you have a mole/ spot on the skin that developed recently and looks unusual
If you have an existing mole or spot that seems to have changed in colour/ shape/ size/texture or is bleeding
If you previously had a skin cancer
If you have a family history of skin cancer
If you are fair-skinned- it is recommended for fair-skinned adults to get a skin check with a dermatologist once a year

What happens during a Skin check/ Mole check?

The doctor will ask you about your past medical history, past dermatological history.

The dermatologist will carefully and systematically examine your moles/ spots from head to toe.

The dermatologist will use an instrument called a Dermoscope to assist with detailed analysis/ examination of the skin.

Photography of any moles/ spots that require monitering may be done, with your permission, and kept in your medical records.

Should any suspicious looking moles or spots be identified during the skin check, the dermatologist will discuss the next course of action, which is usually a skin biopsy.
