      Welcome to our forum. I encourage you to fill in some info on the profile page that you may wish to create for your girlfriend. This will help us to help you better.

      Unfortunately, not many here who are from the UK. However, there are a lot of knowledgeable people here in this forum. If you have any questions about melanoma please don't hesitate to ask.

      Best wishes
