Changing Mole? Get it checked!

At this time of year everyone is in their Summer fashions and trying to take in the good weather. People are more aware of the dangers of UV light now and sun protection campaigns have highlighted the steps needed to protect us from the worst of the rays.

It is also the time that people tend to inspect their skin for moles and marks.

Check your moles for:

• Irregular shapes (uneven)

• Irregular Border

• Variations in Colour

• Diameter greater then 6mm

• Elevation. A raised lesion in combination with the other features is concerning

Along with these symptoms, itching and especially bleeding are symptoms that should prompt urgent investigation.

Get it checked!
