Our Skin Cancer / Dermatology Services
Skin Checks & Screening
Our doctors provide thorough skin checks to assess moles, sunspots and other skin lesions. Checks may involve a full-body examination or assessment of a particular area of concern.
Regular skin checks may be particularly relevant for people with significant sun exposure, fair skin, numerous moles, a personal or family history of skin cancer, or spots that have recently changed.
Digital Dermoscopy & Mole Mapping
Digital dermoscopy uses magnified images to examine individual moles and skin lesions in greater detail. Images can also be recorded to help your doctor monitor particular lesions for changes over time.
This can be useful when assessing spots that may be difficult to evaluate with the naked eye or when ongoing monitoring has been recommended.
Total Body Photography & Surveillance
Total body photography creates a photographic record of the skin that can assist with monitoring changes over time.
It may be recommended for patients who have numerous moles, previous skin cancers or other factors associated with an increased risk of developing skin cancer.
Spot / Single Lesion Checks
Have one particular mole or spot you are concerned about?
A spot or single-lesion check provides a focused assessment of one or more specific areas without necessarily requiring a full skin check. Your doctor can assess the lesion and discuss whether monitoring, further investigation or treatment may be appropriate.
Procedures & Skin Surgery (Biopsy, Excision, Grafts)
When a suspicious or confirmed skin lesion requires further investigation or removal, our doctors can provide a range of minor skin procedures under local anaesthetic.
Depending on the lesion and clinical assessment, this may include:
- Skin biopsies
- Skin lesion excisions
- Removal of selected skin cancers
- Skin grafts where appropriate
- Pathology testing of removed tissue
Your doctor will explain the recommended procedure, expected recovery and follow-up requirements before treatment.
Non-surgical Treatments (Cryotherapy, Electrodesiccation)
Not every skin lesion requires surgical removal. Depending on the diagnosis, location and individual circumstances, some sun-damaged, precancerous or other suitable lesions may be managed using non-surgical treatment options.
These may include treatments such as cryotherapy or electrodesiccation when clinically appropriate.
Your doctor will discuss the available treatment options and recommend an approach based on the type of lesion being treated.
High-Risk / Recall Program
Patients who have previously had skin cancer or have other significant risk factors may benefit from ongoing skin surveillance.
Our high-risk recall program supports regular follow-up appointments and reminders so that recommended skin checks can become part of your ongoing healthcare routine.
When Should You Book a Skin Check?
Consider arranging a skin check if you notice:
- A new mole, spot or lesion
- A mole that has changed in size, shape or colour
- A spot that bleeds, crusts or does not heal
- Persistent itching, tenderness or discomfort
- Changes in the symmetry or border of a mole
- A history of significant sun exposure or sunburn
- A personal or family history of skin cancer
- A large number of moles or unusual-looking moles
You do not need to wait until you notice a suspicious spot to discuss your skin cancer risk with a doctor.
