How to Check Your Moles at Home.

Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in Ireland – but the good news is, when caught early, it’s highly treatable. Checking your own skin regularly is one of the best ways to detect changes early and protect your health.

At SkinScan, we believe everyone in Ireland should feel confident about checking their own moles at home. Here’s a simple guide to get started.

Why Regular Skin Checks Matter in Ireland

• High UV exposure: Even on cloudy days, Ireland’s UV levels can cause skin damage.
• Fair skin risk: Many Irish people have fair or freckled skin, which burns easily and increases the risk of melanoma.
• Early detection saves lives: Spotting changes in moles early can lead to faster diagnosis and treatment.
