What is a Skin Check?
A skin cancer screening check involves a thorough examination of your skin by a qualified healthcare professional. During the screening, the doctor carefully inspects your skin, looking for any suspicious moles, lesions, or irregularities. They will use a dermatoscope, a specialized magnifying instrument, to get a closer look at potential areas of concern.
