Which MoleMap skin service is right for you?

The warning signs of skin cancer can vary. But a key warning sign of melanoma is a new or changing mole. If we’re talking about a new mole, it’s likely it will look different from the other spots on your body. When spotting changes to an existing mole, look for:

• A mole with an irregular shape
• A spot with an uneven or raised border
• A mole that changes in colour
• A lesion that appears to have grown

Think you have a sunspot, but wondering if it might be skin cancer? Let’s face it, our bodies have lots of spots, bumps and lumps. Most of which are harmless. However, not all seemingly harmless spots should be ignored.

One major difference between sunspots and skin cancer is that sunspots mostly appear on areas of the skin that have been exposed to the sun—like the hands, face, and arms. Skin cancer on the other hand can develop anywhere on the body—even areas that have had very little sun exposure.

Find out how to differentiate a sunspot from skin cancer. And don’t forget to make the most of your local MoleMap skin check clinic. As the saying goes…if in doubt, check it out!

There are different types of melanoma, each with different features. To an untrained eye, it can be very hard to spot melanoma. Particularly as some types of melanoma can look much like any other freckle or spot.

This is why we recommend regular skin checks - even if you’re not at high risk of skin cancer. With a regular skin cancer examination, you can track your moles and see when anything changes.
