A new mole or a mole that changes in size, shape or colour should alert you to see a dermatologist for a skin check as these signs are suspicious of melanoma.
A sore that has not healed after 4 to 6 weeks or a slowly growing lump on the skin may be a sign of a non-melanoma skin cancer (BCC or SCC) and should also prompt you to go to your dermatologist for a skin check.
