Non-melanoma skin cancer includes basal cell skin cancer, squamous cell skin cancers and other rare types. They are the most common skin cancer, affecting up to 100,000 people in the UK every year. This type of skin cancer usually responds very well to treatment when diagnosed early so it’s important to seek assessment and diagnosis of any lumps or patches on the skin that do not heal after a few weeks.

London dermatologist Dr Kara Heelan provides testing and removal of moles that are at risk of being malignant or a cause for concern. If you’re concerned about the appearance of a new mole or any recent changes to an existing mole, such as a change in shape, size, colour or sensation, then it’s essential to arrange an appointment with a skin specialist immediately.
