Early detection and optimal treatment is key for any skin cancers

New Zealand is a fantastic country but our outdoor lifestyle, strong sun and skin types have led to us having one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world.

And whilst we think about our skin during the summer season, really, it’s something we should consider throughout the year.

Skin cancers rarely hurt… BUT they can be seen by an expert at a skin check.

Should I choose a skin check or Naevus mole mapping?

Skin checks and NAEVUS mole mapping are both excellent ways to check your skin for cancer. However, the two options are different and will suit different people. There is no wrong way to have your skin checked – the most important thing is to get it checked by an expert.
