Skin Cancer FAQ’s

A typical skin cancer screening at our clinic involves a thorough visual inspection of your skin by one of our skilled doctors using a dermatoscope, a specialised tool that allows for a clearer and more detailed look at the skin than the naked eye can provide. The examination covers all areas of the body, including those not typically exposed to the sun. If any suspicious lesions are found, the doctor may take photographs for records and recommend a biopsy or further diagnostic tests

The frequency of skin cancer screening depends on several factors, including your skin type, family history, amount of sun exposure, and whether you have previously had skin cancer. Generally, it is recommended to have a professional skin check annually. However, if you are at higher risk due to factors like a family history of skin cancer or a personal history of frequent sunburns, more frequent screenings may be necessary.

igns and symptoms of skin cancer can vary depending on the type of skin cancer. Common signs include:

  • New growths or sores that do not heal within a few weeks.
  • Changes in the size, shape, color, or feel of a mole.
  • The appearance of a new odd-looking growth on the skin.
  • A spot that becomes itchy, tender, or painful.

Always monitor for changes and consult with our team if you notice anything unusual.

To prepare for your skin check appointment, make sure your skin is clean and free of any makeup, nail polish, or artificial tanning products. Avoid scheduling your exam immediately after a workout, as sweat can interfere with the examination. It’s helpful to have your hair washed and out of the way, and to wear simple clothing that is easy to remove for full access to your skin. Additionally, bring a list of any spots you’re concerned about to point out to the doctor.
