With Australia's sun, keeping an eye on your skin is one of the more important things you can do, and it is quick and easy to have done well.
In a skin check, your doctor examines your skin carefully for anything unusual, new spots, changes to existing ones, or areas you have been wondering about. We will explain what we are looking at as we go, and let you know what is worth watching and what is not.
If we find something that needs a closer look, we can often deal with it here, whether that is a biopsy or removing it, and we will talk you through exactly what that involves. Catching skin cancers early makes them far simpler to treat, so it is well worth booking in, especially if you have noticed a change or have not been checked before.
When to book: if you have noticed a new or changing spot, have not had a skin check, or know you are due.
