How to Check Your Skin for Early Signs of Skin Cancer

Skin cancer – especially melanoma – is rising worldwide. The good news? By detecting skin cancer early you can minimise significant risk to your health. One simple but powerful step all adults can take is regularly self-examine their skin.

Key messages:
• Check your skin every month
• Check everywhere
• Catch skin cancer early
These videos were developed Bournemouth University, in collaboration with the University of Glasgow and Birmingham City University, and funded by Cancer Research UK. The study worked with two public groups who can face particular barriers to checking their skin*. We also produced a video for the general adult population.
• Older men (60+)*
• People of colour*
• A general adult population of mixed gender and ethnicity
Through public co-design workshops and using behavioural science principles, we developed tailored video resources to help different groups of people understand why skin self-examination matters, how to do it confidently, and what to look for.
Many existing online resources are not designed with specific audiences in mind. This project aimed to change that - creating practical, evidence-based and socio-cultural relevant guidance.
