Hair loss isnโ€™t one condition - and thatโ€™s exactly why getting the right diagnosis matters ๐Ÿ™

Whether youโ€™re noticing increased shedding, gradual thinning, a receding hairline or more defined patches of hair loss, there can be many different causes behind what youโ€™re seeing.

At Midland Skin, hair loss consultations are led by Consultant Dermatologists and may include detailed scalp examination, trichoscopy, blood tests or, where needed, a biopsy to help understand exactly whatโ€™s going on.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Because treatment should never be guesswork.

Depending on the diagnosis, management can look very different from one person to the next - which is why a personalised plan is so important.

If youโ€™ve noticed a change in your hair or scalp and youโ€™re not sure why, book a consultation with the team at Midland Skin โžก๏ธ midlandskin.co.uk

That mole you keep thinking about? This is your sign to get it checked ๐ŸŸค

Most moles are completely harmless - but if youโ€™ve noticed something new, changing or simply different from the rest, itโ€™s worth having an expert take a look.

Things to keep an eye on include:

๐Ÿ”Ž A change in size, shape or colourโ€จ๐Ÿ”Ž An irregular or uneven borderโ€จ๐Ÿ”Ž A mole that looks noticeably different from your othersโ€จ๐Ÿ”Ž Bleeding, crusting, itching or sorenessโ€จ๐Ÿ”Ž A new or changing skin lesion that doesnโ€™t seem to settle

โžก๏ธ And importantly: you donโ€™t need to be certain that something is wrong before booking a mole check.

At Midland Skin, our Consultant Dermatologists can carefully assess your skin and moles, explain what theyโ€™re seeing and advise you on any next steps if needed.

Sometimes, the best outcome of a mole check is simply peace of mind ๐Ÿ™

If thereโ€™s a mole youโ€™ve been meaning to ask someone about, donโ€™t keep putting it off.

โฃ
โžก๏ธ Because redness is not always ๐˜ซ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ต redness.โฃ
โžก๏ธ Pigmentation is not always ๐˜ซ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ต pigmentation.โฃ

Many skin concerns can look similar on the surfaceโ€ฆ but behave very differently underneath. Rosacea, thread veins, melasma, sun damage, inflammation, acne scarring, post-inflammatory pigmentation and other skin conditions all need different approaches.โฃ

The wrong treatment, the wrong device or the wrong timing can sometimes make things worse โŒโฃ

What is a melanoma? ๐Ÿ‘‡

Melanoma is a form of skin cancer, that ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป be cured if it is removed in the early stages

โ“ What should I do if I think I have a melanoma or if I want to get my moles checked?

If you have any moles that look irregular - or that are changing in size, shape or colourโ€ฆ or if you would like an expert to perform a head-to-toe check of all your moles, then arrange to see one of Midland Skinโ€™s Consultant Dermatologists

โ“ What is the treatment for melanoma?

The treatment is surgical excision of both the melanoma and of a safety margin of normal skin around it. In some cases, sentinel lymph node biopsy can be done at the time of diagnosis to see if the melanoma has spread to the lymph nodes. If the melanoma has spread, then surgical excision of the metastasis will be performed if possible. Alternatively, chemotherapy treatments may be used for metastatic melanoma.

โ“ What is the outlook for someone who has had melanoma?

The prognosis (outlook) after a melanoma is dependent on how early or late the melanoma was at diagnosis. Early melanomas are said to be thin, that is, they only affect the top layers of the skin. If the depth (aka the Breslow thickness) is less than 1mm, then 90-95% of these melanomas can be cured. If the melanoma is 4mm or deeper, the cure rate is 45-60%

Spreading awareness about skin cancer is crucial in prevention and assisting in early detection. When looking at lesions on your skin (be these brown moles or pink) take into account the following criteria when assessing them ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ„ฐ Asymmetry: Are both halves of the lesion symmetrical?
๐Ÿ„ฑ Border: Does the lesion have an irregular border?
๐Ÿ„ฒ Colour: Has the lesion changed colour, or does it have varying colours?
๐Ÿ„ณ Diameter: Is the lesion more than 6mm wide - or growing?
๐Ÿ„ด Evolving: Is the lesion changing - does it look different from others &/or is it changing in size, shape, or colour?โ€จ
If in doubt: get it checked โœ”๏ธ

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month - and if you have a new or changing mole, the most important message is simple: get it checked, promptly ๐Ÿ™

A suspicious lesion is one where the pattern, colour, border or evolution raises concern. The first-line tool used to assess this properly is dermoscopy - a magnified, polarised-light examination that improves accuracy compared with looking at the skin with the naked eye alone.

๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐•๐ฌ ๐๐‡๐’: ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐‡๐š๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ž๐ง๐ฌ ๐€๐ง๐ ๐‡๐จ๐ฐ ๐…๐š๐ฌ๐ญ? ๐Ÿ‘‡

On the NHS, urgent referrals in England are managed against national cancer standards, including the Faster Diagnosis Standard, and patients are often triaged through teledermatology before being directed to the right clinic for dermoscopy and, where needed, biopsy

Privately at Midland Skin, patients can self-refer and are seen by a Consultant Dermatologist for a consultant-led dermoscopic assessment. If a biopsy is needed, the most suitable technique - such as punch, shave or excision biopsy - is discussed and arranged promptly under local anaesthetic, often on the same day as the consultation.

The key point is ๐‘ต๐‘ถ๐‘ป whether you choose NHS or private care - itโ€™s that you get a high-quality expert opinion quickly and a clear plan for what happens next.
