By not doing the Full Skin Check on a regular basis many skin cancers, Melanoma and Non-Melanomas, can be missed.

 

If you are worried about a particular lesion on your body it is important to check it in the context of your entire skin. This will increase the chance of finding any hidden skin cancers and decrease the number of un-necessary excisions of the non cancerous lesions.

 

Full skin check takes 15-20 min and we use Dermoscopy. We have one of the best photography and archive systems and map any suspicious/different lesion on your body.

 

You will be asked to remove all clothing except your undergarments. You should inform us if you want these areas to be checked as we do not routinely check these parts of your body.

​

Please don't wear makeup as this makes the assessment more difficult.

 

You will have a full report and management plan at the end of this session. Based on this assessment you might need to have future check ups and we will offer you to put your name on our recall system.

 

Sometimes we recommend that we follow up a lesion to be reassessed it in few months time to increase the chance of finding very early skin cancers. We will then assess the photos side by side to check for any possible changes.
