1. Make an appointment with your GP If you're
concerned about skin cancer, the first step is to
make an appointment with your GP. 2. Describe
your symptoms When you see your GP, be sure to
describe your symptoms in as much detail as
possible. This will help them to make a more
accurate diagnosis. 3. Tell them about any
changes in your skin Be sure to tell your GP
about any changes in your skin, such as new moles
or changes in existing moles. You should also
mention if you've noticed any bleeding, itching,
or crusting of the skin. 4. Ask about treatment
options Once your GP has diagnosed skin cancer,
they will discuss treatment options with you.
Treatment will vary depending on the type and
stage of cancer, but may include surgery,
radiotherapy, or chemotherapy. 5. Follow up
appointments After treatment, it's important to
have regular follow-up appointments with your GP
so that they can monitor your progress and ensure
that the cancer has not returned.
