Skin cancer is on the increase and everyone needs to be aware of the signs of this disease. Like all cancers, skin cancer can kill. However, if it is caught early, skin cancer is treatable.
Skin cancers often first appear as a change in a mole or a patch of normal skin. If a normal patch of skin darkens or changes colour, or if a mole changes colour or shape, becomes inflamed or itchy, bleeds or weeps, see your doctor immediately. The change may be harmless, but it may not – so it is important to get it checked as quickly as possible.
At Medcare's clinics in Alfaz del Pi and Benijofar on the Costa Blanca we offer a free service to check suspect moles or patches of skin.
