Skin Check

We are looking for a recurrent sore that doesn’t heal over 6-8 weeks or a freckle or mole that’s changed shape, size or colour – usually over a month or two.

Risk factors for melanoma are skin type and mole count. Skin that freckles and burns easily or a high mole count – more than 50 moles on your body or 20 moles on your arms and legs puts you at increased risk.

Once you’ve had one skin cancer you have an 80% chance of having a second. Once you’ve had a second there’s a good chance of having a third.

    Frequently asked questions

    What exactly is a skin check?
    • You strip down to your underwear and then the Doctor looks at all your skin lesions with a Dermatoscope ( a special magnifying glass)
    • Suspicious lesions will need to be sampled and sent to the labs for histology and diagnosis
    • Borderline lesions may be monitored with serial photography, usually over 3 monthly intervals
    How long does it take?
    The appointments are approximately 20 minutes, some of this time is taken up with giving history of any previous concerns or lesions. The check itself is quite quick
    How do I book an appointment?

    Do I need a referral?
    No referral is needed, we are a general practice that specialises in skin cancer. We are not a dermatologist practice
    What will happen if something suspicious is found?
    Suspicious lesions are sampled and sent to pathology for histological diagnosis. Our histopathologist is an expert who only deals with skin cancers
    How will I know it’s time for my next skin check?
    Our practice sends SMS reminders for general recalls and appointments. Routine skin check should be every twelve month. Some patients may need more frequent reviews with 3 or even 6 months if they have multiple skin cancers
