WHAT ARE THE DANGER SIGNS?

SUDDEN APPEARANCE OF NEW MOLES

8 times out of 10
Melanomas occur outside of pre-existing moles.

It is therefore important to prioritise identifying the appearance of new pigmented lesions.

CHANGES IN AN EXISTING MOLE

Melanoma can occur on moles you already have, causing them to change rapidly, either growing, changing shape, colour, becoming itchy or bleeding involuntarily.
