Skin Cancer Check

Skin cancer checks involve a thorough examination of the skin by a specialist healthcare professional. During the check, the provider inspects the entire body for unusual moles, growths or skin changes. They may use a Dermatoscope for better visualisation. Patients are encouraged to discuss any concerns or changes in their skin for accurate assessment and monitoring.

What you need to know:

• The specialist skin GP will discuss your medical history, skin concerns, and any changes in moles or skin texture.
• The GP will examine your skin from head to toe, including areas often overlooked.
• A specialised tool may be used to closely examine moles and skin lesions.
• Evaluation of size, shape, colour, and symmetry of moles to identify any abnormal characteristics.
• You may be asked to point out any areas of concern.
• Recommendations for skin care and sun protection may be provided.
• Discussion of any necessary follow-up appointments or treatments based on findings.
• If suspicious lesions are found, a biopsy may be recommended for further analysis.

Cost: Fees vary depending on the nature of the appointment and if intervention is required. However, fee’s start at $185 with a portion of the fee claimable through Medicare. We do not bulk bill.
