Skin cancer is the most common cancer in New Zealand, but when detected early, it is highly treatable. Regular skin checks help identify problems early.
Scan your skin and look for a spot or a mole that is:
- Sore
A spot which is sore (scaly, itchy, bleeding, tender) and doesn’t heal within 6 weeks. - Changing
Changing in size, shape, colour or texture. - Abnormal
Looks different, feels different, or stands out when compared to your other spots and moles. - New
Has appeared on your skin recently. Any new moles or spots should be checked, especially if you are over 40.
I received a professional and thorough full skin check consultation from Michael. I felt relaxed throughout and that my concerns were listened to.
As an adult I’ve always tried to be careful in the sun but as a child, I would get sunburnt quite often. In those days you didn’t want to be the pale kid! I’m grateful to Dr Morrison for identifying some early changes in a mole that I’d had for many years. This mole turned out to be a melanoma which was caught before it could spread too deeply. I’m very happy to recommend Dr Morrison and Mole Screen.
I wish to express my appreciation of the care given to me while being mole screened and the excision of a lesion by Dr Morrison. The whole process was virtually pain free, with no pressure felt on excision or suturing. To be recommended, thank you.
My Mole Screen experience was both informative and professional. All my questions were answered and it gave me peace of mind. I would highly recommend the service.
I’ve had 30 years of skin lesions/cancers. Before Mole Screen it was an erratic process of self detecting skin cancer often only when very visible and symptomatic. Since regular full body Mole Screen checks I have had three melanomas detected early, in places I would not have seen or identified myself. Mole Screen provides me the confidence that changes to my skin are being identified early and treated in good time.
