Skin Cancers and Pre-Cancerous
Conditions We Diagnose
Anti-wrinkle injections treat more than facial lines. Browse the areas patients most often ask about, from expression lines to jaw tension and excess sweating.
1
Melanoma & Antypical Moles
The most serious type of skin cancer. It often appears as a dark mole or patch that changes over time, becoming larger, irregular in shape, or itchy. It may also present as a sore that does not heal.
2
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
The most common type of skin cancer in the UK. It often appears as a pearly bump, a red patch, or a scab that does not heal. Although it grows slowly, it can damage surrounding tissue if left untreated.
3
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
A common skin cancer that may spread if left untreated. It often appears as a thickened, crusted, or ulcerated patch, particularly on sun-exposed areas such as the face, scalp, and hands.
4
Bowen's Disease And Actinic Keratosis
Bowen's disease and actinic keratoses are both considered precancerous conditions that can develop into squamous cell carcinoma if left untreated.
5
Keratoacanthoma
Keratoacanthomas are fast-growing, dome-shaped skin growths that can closely resemble squamous cell carcinoma. Due to their rapid development and similar appearance to skin cancer, they are often removed to confirm the diagnosis.
6
Chainging Moles & Suspicious Lesions
Whether it’s a mole that has shifted in size, shape, or colour, or a new lump, bleeding patch, or persistent sore, early evaluation is key.
