Skin cancer is an abnormal growth of skin cells, often caused by exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds. There are three main types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Protecting your skin from the sun is crucial, especially during peak UV radiation hours. We recommend wearing protective clothing, using broad-spectrum sunscreen, and avoiding tanning beds.

During a skin cancer check, our experienced skin GPs will perform a visual examination of your skin using a special magnified dermatoscope. This process typically takes about 10-15 minutes. If any suspicious moles or lesions are found, a biopsy may be taken for further examination.

It is recommended that adults have a full-body skin check every 1-2 years, depending on skin type and family history. Our skin cancer GPs will determine the frequency of your skin checks based on your individual needs.

Our skin cancer specialists use a dermatoscope to identify any suspicious moles, spots, or areas of concern on the skin. Formal diagnosis of skin cancer is made through a surgical biopsy, where a small sample of skin is removed and examined under a microscope.

Treatment options for skin cancer vary depending on the type and stage of the cancer. The majority of skin cancers are surgically removed, but other options such as medicated skin creams, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy may also be considered.

Factors that increase your risk of skin cancer include fair skin, a history of sunburns, a family history of skin cancer, and a weakened immune system. Regular skin checks are essential for early detection, leading to the best outcomes.

Our team of professional skin cancer experts will provide personalized treatment plans for patients of all ages. We offer on-site procedures for smaller treatments, ensuring a straightforward and easy process for our patients.
