Australia has one of the highest skin cancer rates in the world which makes routine skin checks essential, not optional. Melanoma can develop quickly, and early detection significantly improves outcomes.
What to look out for:
• A new mole or spot
• Changes in size, shape or colour
• Uneven borders
• Multiple colours within one lesion
• A sore that doesn’t heal
A GP skin check is a simple first step. If anything suspicious is identified, timely dermatology referrals can be arranged for further assessment.
Small checks now can prevent major treatment later.
Book your skin check today and stay ahead of your health.
