Skin Cancer Check

At Red Hill Family Clinic, we prioritize your skin health with thorough and professional skin checks. Our GPs are trained to examine any skin lesions or spots of concern, helping you stay on top of your skin health. Regular skin checks are essential, particularly given Australia’s high rates of skin cancer. We recommend scheduling an annual skin check, and you should also make an appointment if you notice anything unusual or suspicious on your skin.

Our Skin Check Services

1. Comprehensive Skin Examinations
   Our GPs conduct detailed skin checks, examining your skin from head to toe for any lesions, moles, or spots that may be of concern. Using advanced techniques and tools, we ensure that every area of your skin is thoroughly assessed. Early detection of skin changes is crucial for effective treatment and positive outcomes.
2. Identification and Monitoring of Lesions
   If any suspicious lesions are found during your skin check, our GPs will carefully assess their characteristics. We monitor these spots over time, noting any changes in size, color, or shape. This proactive approach helps in the early identification of potential skin cancers or other dermatological conditions.
3. Biopsy and Referral Services
   Should any lesions appear suspicious, our clinic offers biopsy services to further investigate. If necessary, we can refer you to a dermatologist or specialist for further evaluation and treatment. Our team will guide you through the process, ensuring you receive the best possible care.
4. Patient Education and Preventive Advice
   Beyond the examination, we educate our patients on how to perform self-checks at home and what to look out for between professional skin checks. We provide tips on sun protection, the importance of regular skin monitoring, and how to reduce your risk of skin cancer.
