Regular skin checks are recommended in the early detection of skin cancer, including melanoma.

Skin checks are recommended for everyone, in particular for those who have:

• A history of extensive sun exposure/frequent sun burns
• Previous skin cancers/pre-cancers
• Multiple or abnormal moles/sun spots
• Previous solarium use
• Fair skin/family history of skin cancer/melanoma
