If you have a new or changing or unusual mole or a non-healing sore, you should always seek advice from an expert as these signs can sometimes be symptoms of skin cancer.
If your GP is concerned that your mole or sore might be a serious form of skin cancer, your GP will need a diagnosis from a specialist.
Your GP may refer you to your local hospital for an appointment within 2 weeks or you may be offered a tele-dermatology service.
