Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer arising from the pigment producing cells in the skin called Melanocytes.

​

Melanoma commonly arises from a new or changing mole on the skin. It may have an unusual shape. A melanoma may be detected at an early stage when it is only a few millimetres in diameter, but they may grow to several millimetres in diameter.

​

Sometimes Melanoma can occur on the face, palms, soles and even the nails.

​

The earlier it is picked up, the higher the chance of treatment and cure.
