Webinar replay: Skin cancer in skin of colour

Recognising risk beyond Fitzpatrick I-III: What GPs need to know about dermoscopic diversity and diagnostic pitfalls.

Skin cancer in skin of colour is often assumed to be “low risk”, yet many diagnoses are delayed because early signs look different and routine dermoscopic patterns don’t always apply. These are issues most GPs encounter but rarely get formal teaching on.

In this webinar, Dr Mostafa Khalafalla unpacks the clinical realities behind skin cancer in skin of colour. Through real cases and practical examples, he walks through dermoscopic diversity, common diagnostic traps, and what to look for when the usual patterns aren’t there.

Watch the replay to learn to:

• Recognise how and why skin cancer presents differently in darker skin types
• Apply dermoscopic principles that account for chromatic variation and atypical cues
• Avoid common misdiagnoses by understanding high-risk sites and subtle warning signs
• Refine your approach using practical “pearls” drawn from real BCC, SCC, and melanoma cases

The session includes Q&A and case discussions.
