At Sandy Hill Medical Centre, skin cancer checks are provided by independent medical practitioners to help detect skin cancer early and manage skin concerns promptly.
Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer, making regular skin checks an important part of preventive health care. During a skin check, the doctor carefully examines your skin for new, changing, or unusual moles and lesions.
Where clinically appropriate, doctors may use dermoscopy to assess suspicious areas and provide clear advice on monitoring, treatment, or next steps. This may include biopsy, minor procedures, or referral to a specialist if required.
Skin checks are recommended if you:
- Have noticed a new or changing spot
- Have a history of sun exposure or sunburn
- Have fair skin or a family history of skin cancer
- Want reassurance and proactive skin monitoring
Independent doctors consulting at Sandy Hill Medical Centre focus on early detection and clear clinical guidance to support long-term skin health.
