This young patient in their 40s came in concerned by a lesion on their head which turned out to be benign. I performed a full skin check and spotted this 4mm lesion on their leg. To the naked eye it did not appear very significant but dermoscopic examination revealed a very unusual appearance. The patient was not aware of this lesion previously. I recommended a biopsy which confirmed a 0.5mm Breslow Thickness Superficial Spreading Melanoma. They were referred onto a plastic surgeon for a discussion about sentinel lymph node biopsy and further management.

I provide skin checks and skin cancer management at Hahndorf Medical Centre, Kings Park Clinic, and Skin Matters Burnside.

Non-medical things: I had the morning off today and I had the luxury of time to sit at the piano. Can you believe Fryderyk Chopin was only 23 years old when he wrote this waltz?!

Another list at completed today!

This year I am able to offer privately insured patients no-scalpel vasectomy and select skin cancer surgeries with or without IV sedation at this brand new purpose-built site.

I provide no-scalpel vasectomy consultations at the following sites:
- Hahndorf Medical Centre (08 8388 7066)
- Kings Park Clinic (08 8271 0303)

I provide skin checks at the following sites:

And of course, I still work with the not-for-profit organization providing a monthly no-scalpel vasectomy list under local anaesthesia for non-privately insured patients, which currently takes place at Hahndorf Medical Centre (www.vasectomy.org.au).

I love catching these BCCs while they’re really small. Very rewarding and avoids a whole lot of trouble for the patient later on.

Skin checks:
- Hahndorf Medical Centre
- Kings Park Clinic
- Skin Matters, Burnside

This lesion on a patient’s forehead was previously treated with cryotherapy elsewhere but has persisted and continued to grow. Examination with dermoscopy revealed a BCC. These skin cancers in general do not respond to treatment with cryotherapy as they are deeper in the skin. They are cured by excision 🔪
