Brits believe in trusting gut to make decisions – but don’t know how to look after it
Melanoma skin cancer also has the potential to grow down through the layers of the skin and spread to other body parts.
Early treatment, however, dramatically increases the chances of successful treatment and recovery.
As such, look out for the earliest possible warning signs of skin melanoma, which includes a change to a mole, freckle, or a normal patch of skin.

- Border that is jagged or blurred
- Colour is uneven and has more than one shade
- Diameter is more than 6mm
- Evolving.
