CHECK YOUR SKIN

What am I looking for?

Keep a close eye on your skin for any changes in moles, freckles, blemishes or other marks.

Pay particular attention to any of the following:

• change in size of a mole or freckle
• change in shape of a mole or freckle
• colour mottling of a mole or freckle
• a mole or freckle with an irregular outline
• a persistently itchy mole
• a mole that has become lumpy
• bleeding or ulcerated moles or freckles
• new lumps which are red, pale or pearly
• crusty, non-healing sores
• dark brown, black, red or blue-black moles.

Please see a doctor if you notice any changes.
