Most lumps, bumps and moles on the skin are completely harmless. Even so, it is sensible to know your skin and to get anything new or changing looked at by a professional, because early advice is always reassuring and occasionally important.
What is worth checking
Book an assessment if a mole changes in size, shape or colour, if a lump grows or becomes sore, if a spot bleeds, itches or will not heal, or if something new appears and simply looks different from everything else on your skin. Trusting that instinct is not being dramatic, it is good skin care.
What happens at a check
A clinician examines the area, often with a dermatoscope that magnifies and lights the skin, and explains what they see. Many lesions can be reassured on the spot. Where removal is appropriate, whether for comfort, appearance or further examination, we explain the options clearly.
