Question 1

When should I be worried about a mole?

Accepted Answer

There is no one look for moles. They may be any colour from skin tone to a range of browns or even black. While most are flat, some are raised and soft to the touch. However, normal moles should be evenly coloured and will have smooth edges – it’s when changes appear that you should be mindful and seek a professional opinion.

Question 2

How often should I get my moles checked?

Accepted Answer

Everyone with moles should regularly conduct self-checks at home. If you have lots of moles you should self check every 6 months.

Question 3

Why is early detection of skin cancer important?

Accepted Answer

The early detection of skin cancer is vital and can reduce the risk of disfigurement through removal, or in more serious cases death. It is therefore very important to get to know your own skin so that you can recognise any signs of change that may be potential skin cancer or pre-cancerous skin lesions.
