1h PARA KITO Sr: Compeed* Cold Real talk | with wai mun Loh How do | know if a spot on my skin is suspicious? A change is as good as a holiday — just not when it comes to skin cancer. In fact, changes in spots or lumps on our skin are a good indication that it’s time to get a skin check. When it comes to our skin, “change” can cover: Appearance — Including changes in shape, size, colour, borders, elevation or texture Newness — A new spot or lump that has appeared since your last check Difference — Normal moles will likely look similar and “ugly ducklings” should be checked Feeling — Think spots or lumps that bleed, itch or crust What happens at a skin check? Skin checks are not invasive and are conducted by trained professionals. You will be asked to remove your outer clothing, so that your doctor can check over your skin and use a handheld magnifying instrument called a dermatoscope to examine any suspicious spots.
