Doctors usually start by looking closely at the skin change, like a mole, dark patch, sore, or spot that is growing, bleeding, itching, or changing shape. They may compare its size, border, colour, and whether it looks different from the other marks on the body. Sometimes they use a small magnifying tool called a dermoscope to see the spot more clearly.

If the area looks suspicious, the main test is a biopsy. That means a small piece, or sometimes the whole spot, is removed and checked under a microscope. This helps confirm whether it is skin cancer and what type it is. If cancer is found, more tests may be advised depending on how deep or advanced it looks.
