Get Familiar With Your Skin & Body

We encourage patients to be familiar with their skin and to be aware of any changes that might suggest a skin cancer.

Look for anything changing uniquely on your skin anywhere for more than 2-3 weeks.

Evidence could include:
  • Crusty sores, 
  • Skin lesions that don't heal, 
  • New spots, 
  • Freckles, or moles, 
  • Skin areas or lesions that change in colour or thickness.
If you notice any of these changes, arrange an appointment with our Doctors for a skin check immediately.

While you may be able to find a few pre-cancerous or cancerous moles yourself, it is always better to put your trust on a Skin Cancer Clinic that has effective and accurate tools in detecting skin cancer.

Everyone Benefits From Regular Skin Checks

The good news is that skin cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer in Australia. Having regular skin checks will help you be aware of any skin changes.

This should include checking areas that are normally hidden from the sun because skin cancer can develop anywhere on the body.

Tell us about anything you find that is new or different on your skin, especially if it is changing uniquely in any way for more than 2 to 3 weeks.
