Does anyone know of a clinic where i could get a "mole" checked for a reasonable fee please? I was told there might be one in Quesada or Rojales.

Hi Chris and Dee

If you have a mole that has changed shape or colour, or appears to have grown significantly, get it checked without delay. 

If you are resident your doctor will refer you to a specialist. Some large medical centres have their own specialist who will give you an annual check up. I have one every November. I'm not sure about rights under non residency but without checking the link in the post above your EHIC should cover this.

If you have private insurance select an approved clinic and make an appointment. 

The main thing is do not delay, especially if you are of fair or freckled skin.
