As guys, we're often poor at looking after ourselves - particularly when it comes to bookings appointments and getting something that concerns us looked at by a healthcare professional.
The following review was given by a male patient from Somerset, who had a mole scanned in his local pharmacy:
"I noticed a mole on my back that I was concerned about and I found the ScreenCancer UK mole scanning service online. The experience in my local pharmacy was great, the lady in the store was lovely.
"I had my scan on a Saturday and Monday morning a Healthcare Advisor called me to relay my results from the Dermatology Consultant. The report suggested I have the lesion removed due to a possible Malignant Melanoma. I took my report to the GP and they referred me based on this. I dropped the letter off and within the hour the GP called me in to take some additional photos and refer me via a 2-week-wait. I cannot fault this service.
"If I did not have the mole scan done, well it doesn’t bear thinking about. I had the lesion removed at Dermatology and it was confirmed as a Malignant Melanoma. The ScreenCancer Consultant was spot on. I then had a wider excision and lymph nodes removed. I am being followed up regularly by Dermatology.
"I have recommended this service to friends and family because I feel I owe it my life."
If you're concerned about a mole or skin lesion - get it checked! We offer this same service in selected stores - it's quick, painless, and you'll have results within 7 days (usually much more quickly!).
