Skin Cancer Screening in Kingston Upon Thames

Mole Checks & Skin Lesion Assessment

Expert Skin Cancer Screening at Koncept Medical Clinic

Early detection is the most important factor in successfully treating skin cancer. At Koncept Medical Clinic, we offer professional Skin Cancer Screening and Mole Assessment to help identify suspicious lesions early, provide medical guidance and ensure timely referral where appropriate. Our clinicians are trained in assessing moles, freckles, sun spots and other skin lesions, offering reassurance and safe clinical evaluation in a CQC-registered medical environment.

Whether you have noticed a new mole, a change in an existing lesion, or simply want a routine skin check, we provide thorough and confidential assessments for adults of all ages.

What Is Skin Cancer Screening?

Skin Cancer Screening involves a detailed examination of the skin to identify signs of:

Melanoma

Basal cell carcinoma

Squamous cell carcinoma

Actinic keratoses (sun damage)

Atypical or changing moles

Suspicious skin lesions

During screening, we assess:

Size, shape and colour of moles

Borders and symmetry

Changes over time

New or unusual growths

Lesions that bleed, itch or do not heal

Sun-exposed areas for signs of damage

While many lesions turn out to be harmless, early detection of skin cancer is crucial.

Why Choose aSkin Cancer Screening Appointment?

Patients choose medical skin checks because they offer:

Early detection of concerning lesions

Early diagnosis significantly improves outcomes.

Your clinician examines moles using recognised dermatology guidelines (e.g., ABCDE).

Most lesions are harmless — screening offers clarity.

Helpful for long-term skin protection.

Reducing uncertainty and anxiety.

Knowing what changes to watch for between appointments.

Including NHS referral or private dermatology pathways.

 

Skin cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer when detected early.

When Should You Seek Skin Cancer Screening?

These symptoms require immediate medical attention. Do not wait for a clinic appointment.

What to Expect During Your Skin Cancer Screening Appointment

Step 1 – Consultation

Your clinician will discuss:
Your concerns
Personal and family history
Sun exposure habits
Any previous skin cancers
Changes you’ve noticed in specific lesions

We then proceed with a careful skin examination.

Step 2 – Skin Examination

Your clinician examines:
All areas of concern
Sun-exposed areas (face, neck, arms, chest)
Any moles you point out for review
Additional areas if clinically relevant
We use dermatology assessment criteria such as:

ABCDE Method for Moles

Asymmetry
Border irregularity
Colour variation
Diameter
Evolving changes

We also check for features of basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma.

Step 3 – Clinical Advice & Next Steps

Following examination, you will receive clear guidance:

If the lesion appears benign:

Reassurance
Advice on self-monitoring
Sun safety recommendations
Optional routine follow-up

If the lesion requires further assessment:

We will recommend referral to:
Your NHS GP for urgent dermatology pathway
or
Private dermatology (if you prefer)

We ensure you understand next steps clearly and safely.

Step 4 – Aftercare & Monitoring

You may be advised to:
Take regular photographs of moles
Monitor changes
Wear high-factor SPF daily
Avoid excessive sun exposure
Schedule routine annual skin checks (high-risk patients only)

We provide long-term reassurance and guidance.

Skin Cancer Screening - FAQs

How do I know if a mole is concerning?

Look for changes in size, colour, shape or texture — or new symptoms like itching or bleeding.

Suspicious lesions require specialist referral for biopsy. We do not remove lesions that may be cancerous in a cosmetic setting.

High-risk patients (light skin, many moles, family history) benefit from yearly reviews.

Some sun damage can be improved with skincare and treatments; we will guide you safely.

We will advise you to see your NHS GP or a private dermatologist urgently for biopsy assessment.

No — it is a visual and clinical examination only.

Yes — these areas can also be examined if accessible.

Understanding Skin Cancer: It's More Than Just a Sunburn

Skin cancer results from the abnormal growth of skin cells, often linked to UV radiation. At KONCEPT®, our specialists diagnose and treat the three main types of skin cancer and common pre-cancerous lesions:

 

At KONCEPT Medical Clinic, we offer precise, meticulous screening exams, from full-body checks to focused evaluations, to precisely target your unique risk profile.

Common Skin Cancer Types:

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): Characterised by a pearly, waxy bump or a flat, flesh-colored or brown scar-like lesion; rarely spreads.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC): Characterised by a firm, red nodule or a flat, crusty lesion; can spread if left untreated.

Melanoma: The most serious form, often characterized by the ABCDE signs (Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter >6mm, Evolving); spreads aggressively.

Actinic Keratosis (AK): A pre-cancerous, scaly patch found on sun-exposed areas; the precursor to SCC.

Our Comprehensive Rosacea Treatment Pillars

There is no permanent cure for Rosacea, but with expert management, you can achieve long-term remission and significant symptom reduction. Our strategy integrates three key areas:

Advanced In-Clinic Procedures (Targeting Diagnostics & Treatment)

While visual screening identifies potential concerns, advanced technology is the most effective way to accurately diagnose a lesion and ensure its complete, definitive removal.

2. Treatment Pillars for Skin Cancer Management

We offer a spectrum of effective, evidence-based treatments and diagnostics, from minimally invasive biopsies to advanced surgical therapy:

Biopsy (Shave or Punch)

Diagnosis (BCC, SCC, Melanoma)

A necessary, minor surgical procedure to remove a tissue sample for laboratory analysis (histopathology) to confirm the presence of cancer.

Surgical Excision (Standard)

Treatment (BCC, SCC, Melanoma)

The standard, definitive treatment used to fully remove the cancerous lesion along with a margin of healthy surrounding tissue (clear margins).

Mohs Micrographic Surgery

Complex Cases (Face, Recurrence)

A specialized technique where the cancer is removed layer by layer and immediately checked under a microscope, preserving the maximum amount of healthy skin.

Cryotherapy/Topical Chemotherapy

Treatment (Actinic Keratosis, Superficial BCC)

For pre-cancerous lesions or very superficial skin cancers, freezing (cryotherapy) or specialized creams can be used to destroy the abnormal cells.

Why Trust KONCEPT® with Your Skin Cancer Screening?

Skin cancer can be serious, but it is manageable and highly curable when managed by experts who understand its subtle signs and complexity.

We offer the clinical resources and deep understanding required to correctly diagnose your lesion type (BCC, SCC, Melanoma) and tailor a risk-stratified surveillance plan.
