Important:
If you have a skin lesion which may be a skin cancer, it is important that you see a medical professional (usually your GP) urgently who can advise you on the most appropriate person to see your skin lesion and how quickly it needs to be assessed. NHS guidance for the assessment of lesions which are suspicious of melanoma or squamous cell carcinoma is that patients should be assessed by a specialist dermatologist within 2 weeks.
