Post-Summer Skin Checks: Why It’s Worth Booking Your Mole Check

Just Back from the Sun? Why a Mole Check Matters More Than You Think

Whether you’ve spent your summer on a beach in Spain or soaking up the (rare) Irish sunshine, your skin has been working hard to protect you. But even with sunscreen, prolonged sun exposure can increase your risk of skin damage — and in some cases, skin cancer.

A mole check is a simple, non-invasive way to make sure your skin is healthy. We’re not just looking for anything dramatic — sometimes, small changes in shape, size or colour can be the early signs of something more serious, like melanoma. And the earlier we catch anything suspicious, the easier it is to treat.

When should you get your moles checked?

If you notice a new mole that looks different from the rest

If an existing mole has changed in size, shape or colour
If a mole is itching, bleeding, or not healing
After long periods of sun exposure — especially post-holiday

Our GPs at Castle Medical Centre are experienced in skin checks and can advise you if any further assessment is needed. It’s a quick, reassuring appointment that can make a big difference.

Your skin has served you all summer. Give it a check-up — it deserves it.

Book your mole check with us by phoning reception or booking online.
