    Diagnosis is not provided? So what do they tell you after the check

    • I'm guessing to give an official medical diagnosis, you would need to have a biopsy? I assume this spot check is more for peace of mind. As per the website:

      The purpose of the event is to provide information about melanoma prevention and early detection and to offer a check of up to three spots. You will learn about the characteristics of melanoma, how to protect your skin and what to do if you have any suspicious lesions.
