If you've noticed changes in colour, size, shape or surface of a mole or spot, it's recommended to seek an assessment.

These changes may warrant further investigation, depending on factors like your age, how long the mole has been present and how quickly it has changed.

Other changes to be aware of include new moles, bleeding, rough or scaly areas and spots that don’t heal.

For personalised advice, book an appointment in to see your doctor.

Total body photography may be recommended for individuals at higher risk of skin cancer.

This technology captures detailed images of the skin and assists clinicians in tracking changes over time.

It may be considered for those with many moles, a personal or family history of skin cancer, or significant sun exposure.

Speak with your doctor at your next appointment to learn more about whether this service is appropriate for you.
