Skin cancers are not always obvious.

They can come in many different forms and colours. Some are pink spots, some are white and scaly, and others are brown or black.

Checking your own skin regularly can help to identify early skin cancers, and it is important to learn how to do it properly.

However many skin cancers are only obvious when examined with a special magnifying lens called a dermatoscope.

A full skin examination by a trained, experienced doctor can diagnose skin cancers early when they can be treated easily and even cured.
