If you've noticed changes in colour, size, shape or surface of a mole or spot, it's recommended to seek an assessment.

These changes may warrant further investigation, depending on factors like your age, how long the mole has been present and how quickly it has changed.

Other changes to be aware of include new moles, bleeding, rough or scaly areas and spots that don’t heal.

For personalised advice, book an appointment in to see your doctor.
