Skin Cancer Awareness Month: Protect Your Skin, Protect Your Life

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month; A Time to Take Action

Every May, healthcare providers across the UK come together to raise awareness about skin cancer, the most common form of cancer in the UK. With cases on the rise, this month is a crucial opportunity to educate, prevent, and promote early detection.

At Chequers Health, we’re proud to be part of this life-saving conversation. We specialise in mole removal and testing; offering fast, professional support when it matters most.

Why Skin Cancer Awareness Matters

Did you know?

• Over 156,000 cases of non-melanoma skin cancer are diagnosed each year in the UK.
• Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, affects around 17,500 people annually.
• Skin cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable cancers—especially when detected early.

Unfortunately, too many people delay seeking help when they notice unusual changes in their skin. That’s where early detection becomes critical.

What to Look Out For

Keep an eye on your skin. Regular self-checks can make all the difference. Be especially alert to:

• New or changing moles
• Sores that don’t heal
• Itchy, bleeding, or crusty spots
• Asymmetrical or unevenly coloured moles

If something doesn’t look right—don’t wait.
