Mole checks & skin-cancer screening

A worrying mole or changing spot is checked with a full skin examination using dermoscopy (a magnified, polarised look at the skin), a clear plain-English assessment, and — if anything looks suspicious — an urgent onward referral arranged the same day. Where removal is elective, our surgeons can carry it out, with the sample sent for histology.

It helps to know the ABCDE warning signs of melanoma — get a mole checked promptly if you notice Asymmetry, an irregular Border, uneven Colour, a Diameter over 6 mm, or any Evolving change in size, shape, colour, itching or bleeding.

What does a dermatologist treat?

A dermatologist is a skin, hair and nail specialist. People come to us for a mole or spot they are worried about, acne that will not settle, stubborn eczema or psoriasis, rosacea, rashes and allergies, hair thinning, nail changes, and skin tags, warts, cysts or lumps they would like removed. If you have been searching for a “private dermatologist near me”, a “skin specialist near me” or a “mole check near me”, that is exactly what our clinic does — for adults and children.
