Why get a skin check?

Within Australia, residents are exposed to considerably more ultraviolet radiation than people in most parts of the world, and this has resulted in a large number of individuals developing skin cancer or precancerous growths. As a result, it is important for Australians to stay vigilant in preventing the development of skin cancer and to report any possible symptoms of skin cancer to their skin specialist as quickly as possible.

It only takes one irregular mole to become a Melanoma. Two in three Australians will be diagnosed with Skin Cancer by the time they are 70. Melanoma is the third most common cancer in Australia in both women and men.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during a skin check?

A skin check is a pain free 10-15 minute appointment where a dermatoscope is used to closely look at any spots over the body. If any spots look concerning, the doctor may take a photo and/or take a biopsy of the lesion to be sent away for a pathologist to determine its exact nature.

How often do I need a skin check?

Your doctor will let you know how often you will need a skin check. Some patients will need a full skin check every 3-6 months, others every 12 months, and those with low risk may be recommended to have a skin check every 2-3 years. Factors affecting how often you need a skin check may include your personal or family history of skin cancer or melanoma, skin type, age, gender or occupation.

Do I need a referral?

No you do not need a referral.

What happens if something suspicious is found?

During your consultation, if there is a suspicious lesion the doctor may take a photo and/or biopsy the lesion to have a pathologist provide a diagnosis. In some instances, treatment can be provided without a biopsy. Your pathology result may take a few days to return to us with a diagnosis.
