Diagnosis

The most common ways to detect skin cancer are:

• Self-check

  Checking your skin regularly for any changes to moles or spots on your body is the best way to ensure early diagnosis.

• Check by your doctor

  Your doctor or GP can perform a whole-body skin check for any signs of skin cancer. This should be done regularly, especially if you’re at high risk of skin cancer due to UV exposure.

• Biopsy

  Your doctor will remove a small sample from the skin for examination.
