Aftercare and Long-Term Skin Surveillance

Skin cancer care does not end when a lesion is removed. Depending on your diagnosis and risk profile, we may recommend a personalised surveillance plan — because the earlier a recurrence or new lesion is found, the simpler it is to treat.
Scheduled skin checks
Follow-up reviews every 3–12 months depending on your diagnosis, consultant – or nurse-led – full body examinations, with particular focus on previously affected areas.
Mole mapping for high-risk patients
Digital mole mapping tracks change over time, and is particularly valuable after melanoma, or for patients with atypical or numerous moles.
Lymph node monitoring
If you have had a sentinel lymph node biopsy or lymph node clearance, we monitor for regional recurrence, including ultrasound or clinical review where indicated.
Wound, scar and sun protection guidance
Clear post-operative instructions, dressing plans and scar management, including silicone-based treatments and massage techniques, alongside practical advice on UV protection and checking your own skin.
