Skin cancer consultations are still available
Dr Amy Stanway, a trained medical physician and qualified specialist medical and surgical dermatologist, is available for remote consultations by phone, email and video conference during the COVID-19 lockdown.
Skin cancer can affect people of any age, including children so if you notice any one of the following changes on your skin, you should have it checked by a dermatologist:
- A new mole or freckle that hasn't always been there
- A change in the look of an old mole or freckle
- A new feeling in a skin lesion, for example, tenderness or an itch
- A spot on your skin that looks different to other moles and skin spots
- A spot or lesion that won't heal properly.
