Early detection of skin anomalies allows for quicker identification of lesions requiring management. This initiative aims to raise awareness and provide early screening, without replacing a full dermatological examination or a specialist consultation.
The day is open to anyone wishing to have a concerning skin lesion examined, whether it's a changing mole, a new spot, a lesion that bleeds, crusts, persists, or doesn't heal. The presence of such signs does not necessarily mean skin cancer but warrants medical attention.
“"Have a doubt about a lesion? Don't stay in doubt: get it examined."
Consultations are free and by appointment, taking place at the CPTS Portes du Soleil Grand Massif premises, located at 878 route de la Plagne – Building A in Morzine, from 9 AM to 1 PM and 2 PM to 6 PM.
To participate, please book an appointment by calling 06 19 02 28 65, Monday to Friday, between 8:30 AM and 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. A form will be provided upon booking and must be completed for the appointment.
This initiative is important as skin cancers are common, with UV radiation exposure being a significant risk factor. Melanoma, in particular, can develop from an existing mole or on previously healthy skin. Health insurance recommends consulting when a lesion evolves, a mole rapidly changes appearance, a new spot persists, or a wound does not heal.
