Dermatology & Skin Checks.

Regular skin checks with your doctor are recommended for all Australians. This is particularly important if you have risk factors for skin cancer including:

• Fair skin, a tendency to burn rather than tan, freckles, light eye colour, light or red hair

• Increased numbers of unusual moles (dysplastic naevi)

• Depressed immune systems

• A family history of melanoma in a first degree relative and

• Previous melanoma or other skin cancers

Your Doctor has specialised training in the diagnosis, management and removal of skin lesions.

This includes:

• Skin checks

• Excisions

• Biopsies
