It’s easy to think that these problems won’t affect you, but that’s just not the case. Last year, I noticed a lesion on the scalp of one of our patients and referred her straight to her Dermatologist for further investigation. She kindly shared her experience in a review, highlighting that these issues really can affect anyone:
<blockquote>
“On my last visit Clare noticed a lesion on my scalp and suggested that I got a further opinion, for which I was very grateful. It was cancerous and successfully removed by a skin specialist cancer surgeon. Thankfully, today all went well.”
S.A – review from December 2017.

With <a href="/conditions/Moles-Warts-Skin-Tags/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abnormal growths</a> on the back, head, or in other hard-to-reach areas, it’s easy to not notice changes that would trigger concern.
It’s also easy to think that changes to moles, etc are a natural process and nothing to be worried about.
This is why I strongly recommend that patients keep an eye on their skin, and on the skin of their loved ones.
If you notice anything unusual at all – be it a lack of symmetry in a mole, irregular borders, <a href="/conditions/pigmentation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">uneven colour</a> or large growths, or have a sore that won’t heal or is uncomfortable, please visit your GP, or recommend that your loved one does.

So please – check your moles regularly, and take care in the sun. Wear a good <a href="/treatment/sunscreen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quality SPF</a> and top it up regularly, particularly if you have been in the swimming pool or sea or have been sweating.
